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 Webb, IA 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 โ no leaks at the spout, no stiff handle, no drip.
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.
Not every under-sink leak is the faucet itself โ 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 โ 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 Webb, IA homes built before 1980.
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.
After cartridge replacement, we verify anti-scald calibration โ the maximum hot water limit set by the cartridge rotational stop โ 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 Webb, IA 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.
Reduced flow at a kitchen or bathroom faucet is almost always a clogged aerator โ the small screen-and-flow-restrictor assembly at the tip of the spout. Mineral scale from hard water accumulates in the aerator mesh over time, progressively reducing flow to a trickle. Aerator cleaning or replacement restores full rated flow in minutes.
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 Webb, IA.
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.
We also confirm the angle stop valves under the sink operate โ 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 โ an old 1200 design that was heavily scaled โ swapped in a new Moen cartridge, adjusted the flow limiter, and the faucet has been silent for three months. Clean work, fast, reasonably priced.
My shower temperature was impossible to control โ 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 120ยฐF, 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.
Full bathroom faucet replacement โ my old two-handle fixture was discontinued and no cartridges were available. Masters Plumbing Service supplied a quality Moen single-handle faucet in the same 4-inch centerset configuration, removed the old fixture, replaced the supply lines with braided steel, and installed the new unit. Clean, level installation. Also replaced both angle stop valves under the sink since the originals were 20 years old and barely turned.
