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 โ eventually leaking continuously or becoming stiff and difficult to operate. Masters Plumbing Service's faucet techs in Keene, CA 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.

Faucet repair looks simple until the wrong cartridge is installed, a seat-and-spring assembly is put in backwards, or a corroded packing nut strips during removal. Our techs know the specific disassembly sequence for the faucets they work on in Keene, CA.
Ball faucets, cartridge faucets, ceramic disc faucets, and compression faucets all fail differently and require different repair approaches. A ball-type faucet drips from a worn ball, springs, seats, or O-rings โ all small parts that come in a manufacturer-specific repair kit. A cartridge faucet drip is almost always solved by cartridge replacement. Knowing which type you have before touching it determines whether the repair takes 30 minutes or 2 hours.
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 โ it can cause scalding or cold-water bypass.
Thermostatic shower valves (separate volume and temperature controls) are premium fixtures found in master baths where comfort and safety depend on correct cartridge specification. We don't substitute cheaper cartridges on thermostatic valves.
Leaving a slow under-sink leak unaddressed damages the cabinet interior and subfloor. We identify the source, quote the repair, and execute it same visit in most cases.
Most faucet repairs complete in a single visit with parts on the truck.
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.
Two-handle bathroom faucets (separate hot and cold) are often compression or ceramic disc designs. A drip from a two-handle set almost always comes from one side only โ telling us which handle's valve needs attention.
Shower pressure-balance valves keep the water temperature stable when someone flushes a toilet or runs a dishwasher. When the cartridge wears, you lose that temperature compensation โ hot and cold water temperatures swing unpredictably during the shower. We replace pressure-balance cartridges for Moen, Delta, Kohler, and other common brands found in Keene, CA homes.
Freeze-proof (anti-siphon) hose bibbs found in colder Keene, CA climates have a longer stem that shuts water off 8โ12 inches inside the heated wall. When these fail or freeze-crack internally, the whole bibb typically needs replacement to restore the freeze-protection function.
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.
We handle the full installation: shut the supply, disconnect the old faucet, inspect the supply lines and angle stop valves, install the new faucet, connect supply, adjust the aerator, and verify drip-free operation before leaving.
Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service faucet repair call runs in Keene, CA.
Drip at the spout? Leak at the base? Stiff handle? Low flow? Knowing the symptom and, if possible, the faucet brand lets us arrive with the most likely replacement parts already stocked on the truck.
For many major-brand cartridges โ Moen 1225, Delta RP46074, Kohler GP30413 โ the part is on the truck and the repair proceeds immediately.
If the faucet body is corroded or the seat is damaged, we explain the repair complication and re-quote before proceeding.
After repair, we run the faucet through the full temperature range, check the spout, base, handle, and supply connections for any drip, and confirm the aerator flow is unrestricted. The repair is complete when we can demonstrate it's dry and flowing correctly.

My kitchen faucet had been dripping for two years โ I kept putting it off. Masters Plumbing Service's tech identified it as a Delta ball-type faucet and had the complete repair kit on his truck: new ball, springs, seats, and O-rings. The whole rebuild took 40 minutes. The faucet moves smoothly now and there's absolutely no drip. I only wish I'd called sooner given how much water I was wasting.
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 โ 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.
