A leaky outdoor faucet can waste water and potentially cause damage to your home's exterior. Fixing it often involves replacing worn-out parts like washers and O-rings. Here's a basic process to fix a leaky outdoor faucet:
1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Disassemble the faucet handle and stem.
3. Replace the washer and O-ring.
4. Reassemble the faucet.
5. Turn the water back on and check for leaks. If you're not comfortable with this process or if the leak persists, it's best to call a professional plumber.
