A dripping faucet at one drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. Past the water cost, the drip often signals a worn cartridge or deteriorated seat-and-spring assembly that will worsen over time β eventually leaking continuously or becoming stiff and difficult to operate. Masters Plumbing Service's faucet techs in Tyler, TX identify the specific valve type in your fixture, source the correct replacement cartridge or repair kit, and restore full, drip-free operation in a single visit.

We identify the valve type, source the correct OEM or quality aftermarket replacement, and restore the faucet to full operation β no leaks at the spout, no stiff handle, no drip.
Ceramic disc faucets from brands like Moen's newer series, American Standard, and European brands use a pair of ceramic discs that rarely fail but can crack from thermal shock (sudden cold water on a hot disc). Our techs carry common disc cartridge replacements for major brands.
We identify the brand and model from the fixture, source the correct OEM or high-quality aftermarket cartridge, and install it correctly. Using the wrong cartridge on a pressure-balance shower valve doesn't just drip β it can cause scalding or cold-water bypass.
Shower valves β particularly pressure-balance and thermostatic mixing valves β are more complex than a kitchen sink faucet and have safety implications if repaired incorrectly. We carry cartridges for the major pressure-balance valve brands common in Tyler, TX homes and understand the anti-scald setpoint calibration that should be verified after any shower valve cartridge replacement.
Not every under-sink leak is the faucet itself β many are supply line connections, P-trap slip joints, garbage disposal collars, or drain body gaskets. Our techs trace the water source precisely before recommending a faucet repair or replacement.
Here's the full range of faucet repair work our techs handle in Tyler, TX β by fixture type and by symptom.
Kitchen faucet issues typically present as: a dripping spout (worn cartridge or ball assembly), a leak at the base (failed O-ring at the faucet body), stiff or jerky handle movement (mineral deposits or corroded cartridge tracks), or reduced flow (clogged aerator or partially closed supply valve). We diagnose the cause, repair the specific component, and test for full leak-free operation.
Single-handle bathroom faucets use cartridge valves β one cartridge controls both hot/cold mixing and volume. When the cartridge wears, the result is a drip that typically starts slowly and worsens over months. We identify the cartridge model by the faucet brand and replace it with the correct OEM cartridge.
After cartridge replacement, we verify anti-scald calibration β the maximum hot water limit set by the cartridge rotational stop β to confirm the valve won't deliver scalding water at full hot even if a supply pressure event occurs.
Outdoor hose bibbs fail in two ways: a dripping spout (worn stem packing or seat washer) or a leak at the packing nut behind the handle (deteriorated packing material around the stem). Most hose bibb repairs involve replacing the seat washer and packing without removing the body from the wall.
Persistent low flow after aerator cleaning points to a partially failed cartridge that's not opening fully, or a kinked supply hose under the sink. We trace the restriction and resolve it.
When a faucet is discontinued (no available replacement cartridge), heavily corroded at the body, or simply past useful life, we replace the fixture. We supply faucets in the common hole configurations (single-hole, three-hole, widespread) and in finishes to match your existing hardware β chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service faucet repair call runs in Tyler, TX.
If you know the brand β Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister β tell us. If not, the tech will identify it on-site from the valve body and handle design.
For many major-brand cartridges β Moen 1225, Delta RP46074, Kohler GP30413 β the part is on the truck and the repair proceeds immediately.
You receive a flat-rate quote covering parts and labor before the water is shut off under the sink. Common repairs β cartridge replacement, ball assembly rebuild, aerator service β are straight-forward pricing with no variable labor component.
We also confirm the angle stop valves under the sink operate β a seized stop valve that can't shut off in a future emergency is a problem worth noting while we're already under the cabinet.

Single-handle Moen bathroom faucet dripping at the spout. Tech pulled the cartridge β an old 1200 design that was heavily scaled β swapped in a new Moen cartridge, adjusted the flow limiter, and the faucet has been silent for three months. Clean work, fast, reasonably priced.
Had a hose bibb that dripped at the packing nut all summer. Tech replaced the packing material and seat washer in 20 minutes. Also told me the freeze-proof stem length was correct for my wall depth, which was reassuring heading into winter.
Low flow in the master bath β I assumed the pressure regulator was failing. Tech cleaned the aerator (heavily scaled), and flow went from a trickle to full pressure immediately. 10-minute fix, saved me from chasing a pressure problem that didn't exist.
