Old guys, repair it, young guys, replace it, realtors, twist it open, twist it shut till it breaks.

I don't usually use the "repair, replace, or monitor" language. Rather, I usually say it "needs service" or "needs a further evaluation by a specialist". I usually leave the decision about whether a repair or replacement is warranted to a licensed contractor.
In this case, I'd say something like "the valve has corrosion may have sealed itself, but should be evaluated by a licensed plumbing contractor and serviced as deemed necessary."

I leave it to the contractor and simply recommend that a qualified plumber be hired to repair or replace, as necessary.

"Repair" with close to same verbage as above... even though It's going to evolve into a ball valve if a plumber looks at it..
Oh... don't forget to scrape the minerals off as we need them in our daily diet |
