Yet another issue with our new house...
We have an outdoor faucet that gushes water around the handle (the stem?) when turning the water on. However, it stops once the valve is turned on full. Is this cause for concern? Some kind of back-flow prevention?
According to the old owners, this faucet was replaced due to it freezing which flooded the basement (which is finished), so I understandably want to be sure. It really is the wife saying, "I don't think that it should do that/I don't want to get wet every time I want to water my flowers."
Thanks!
