Low water flow at a kitchen or bathroom faucet is almost always a clogged aerator or a partially failed cartridge β not low supply pressure. Stiff handles, dripping spouts, and leaks under the sink each trace to specific internal components. Our techs in Conover know faucet valve anatomy across all the major brands and carry the parts to fix them.

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 Conover, NC.
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 β 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.
Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister, American Standard, Grohe, Hansgrohe β each brand uses proprietary cartridge and valve designs that are not interchangeable. Moen uses their own 1200 and 1225 cartridge system; Delta uses ball valves in older fixtures and cartridges in newer ones; Kohler uses Rite-Temp pressure-balance cartridges in shower valves.
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 Conover, NC 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.
Most faucet repairs complete in a single visit with parts on the truck.
Older kitchen faucets with two separate handles use compression valves β each handle has a rubber seat washer that wears and needs periodic replacement. We stock washers and seat tools for these older designs, which are still common in Conover, NC homes built before 1980.
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.
Freeze-proof (anti-siphon) hose bibbs found in colder Conover, NC climates have a longer stem that shuts water off 8β12 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.
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 Conover, NC.
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.
The tech identifies the faucet's valve type (ball, cartridge, ceramic disc, or compression), locates the specific cartridge or repair kit number for that model, and checks whether the required part is on the truck or needs to be sourced.
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.
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 β 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 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.

Our techs carry cartridges for the major brands most commonly found in Conover, NC residential homes and businesses.
