Symptoms to Note
Pooling water, damp soil, staining, dripping after shutoff, and a sudden pressure change are useful clues. Water inside a wall or near the faucet makes the issue more urgent. The visible spout is not always the source, so note when the leak occurs and whether it changes when a hose is attached.
What May Be Checked
The assessment may include the handle, washer or cartridge, packing nut, faucet body, threads, wall connection, shutoff, and nearby supply pipe. Freeze damage, corrosion, impact, or an overtightened hose can affect the recommendation. Concealed piping may require additional access.

Cost factors
Pricing depends on the specific scope, conditions, materials/equipment, access, timing and provider terms. Call with the details you know so the appropriate next step can be discussed.
Repair Decisions
A small internal repair may be suitable when the faucet body is sound. Replacement may make more sense when the body is cracked, corroded, or poorly protected from freezing. Clear the area, identify the nearest shutoff, and do not force a seized handle.
Before Contacting a Provider
Ask how the connection will be protected, whether testing is included, and whether wall or masonry access could change the scope. After service, the faucet should be tested under pressure with the outlet closed.
