Hey,
Look at the bright side. You have found the only plumber that does not cut something out when it is in their way.  You know, like the floor joists they always hack!

Do you guys recommend to people that they test them? I never do test them because they usually never reseal tightly and leave the valve leaking and then the seller wants it replaced.

Steve,
I never suggest you test them. If they are old you are better off replacing them and the unit they are attached to!  Like you said, they usually leak after you test them. So you have the number one reason not to do it.
