Dripping or Low-Flow Faucet in Aledo, TX? Masters Plumbing Service Repairs Any Valve Type
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 Aledo, 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.

4 Things That Set Our Faucet Repair Service Apart in Aledo, TX
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 Aledo, TX.
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.

Brand Knowledge Across Major Lines
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.
πΏ
Shower & Tub Valve Specialists
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.
π§
Under-Sink Leak Diagnosis
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.
Our Faucet Services
Faucet Problems We Diagnose and Fix in Aledo
Here's the full range of faucet repair work our techs handle in Aledo, TX β by fixture type and by symptom.
Kitchen
Kitchen Faucet Repair & Replacement
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 Aledo, TX homes built before 1980.
Bathroom
Bathroom Sink Faucet Repair
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 β telling us which handle's valve needs attention.
Shower
Shower Valve Cartridge Replacement
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
Outdoor Spigot & Hose Bibb Repair
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.
Low Flow
Aerator Cleaning & Flow Restoration
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.
Replacement
Full Faucet Replacement
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.
We identify the valve type before ordering or installing any part. The right cartridge for your faucet brand is what produces a lasting result β not a generic part that fits loosely.

Call & Describe Your Faucet Symptom
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.
2
Valve Type Identification & Diagnosis
For many major-brand cartridges β Moen 1225, Delta RP46074, Kohler GP30413 β the part is on the truck and the repair proceeds immediately.

Flat-Rate Quote & Repair Execution
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.
4
Verify Zero Drip Before Leaving
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.
Customer Reviews
Real Faucet Repair Reviews from Aledo, TX
β β β β β
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.

My shower temperature was impossible to control β any toilet flush or washing machine cycle would cause a cold spike mid-shower. Masters Plumbing Service replaced the pressure-balance cartridge in the Kohler valve, set the anti-scald stop at 120Β°F, and tested temperature stability by running the toilet while the shower ran. The swing went from 15+ degrees to less than 2. That's how a pressure-balance valve is supposed to work.

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.

Common Questions
What to Know Before Scheduling Faucet Repair in Aledo, TX
At one drip per second β which looks minor β a faucet wastes roughly 3,000 gallons per year. At average residential rates in TX, that's approximately $15β$25 per year per dripping faucet. A faster drip or multiple faucets multiply that cost. The EPA estimates that fixing all the leaks in an average home saves 10% on annual water bills.
For most faucets from established brands β Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister β replacement cartridges and repair kits are available and the fixture is worth repairing. We carry or can source these parts and prefer repair over replacement when the faucet body itself is in good condition.
A shower that fluctuates only at extreme handle positions (scalding at full hot, freezing at full cold) may actually have a correctly functioning but incorrectly set anti-scald stop β a mechanical rotational limiter on the cartridge that's adjustable without cartridge replacement.
If the stiffness is in a ball-type faucet, the cam and packing assembly may be binding β a rebuild kit with new cam, packing, and springs typically resolves it. We assess which type you have and quote accordingly.
Cartridge faucets use a replaceable ceramic or plastic cartridge that slides in and out of the valve body β repair means pulling the old cartridge and installing the new one in the correct orientation. Ball faucets use a rotating stainless-steel or brass ball with ports that align with supply inlets β repair means a rebuild kit with new ball (if scored), springs, seats, and O-rings installed into the cleaned valve body.
These estimates assume the shut-off valves under the sink operate correctly. Corroded angle stop valves that need replacement before work can begin add 20β30 minutes. We tell you upfront if the stop valves are a concern.
