Faucet Repair in Florence, OR โ€” Drip Stopped, Pressure Restored

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 Florence, OR 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.

Why Florence Homeowners Call Masters Plumbing Service for Faucet Work

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 Florence, OR.

๐Ÿ”ฉ

Valve-Type Specific Expertise

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.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Brand Knowledge Across Major Lines

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.

๐Ÿšฟ

Shower & Tub Valve Specialists

Shower valves โ€” particularly pressure-balance and thermostatic mixing valves โ€” 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 Florence, OR homes and understand the anti-scald setpoint calibration that should be verified after any shower valve cartridge replacement.

๐Ÿ’ง

Under-Sink Leak Diagnosis

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.

Every Faucet Repair We Handle in Florence, OR

Most faucet repairs complete in a single visit with parts on the truck.

Kitchen

Kitchen Faucet Repair & Replacement

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 Florence, OR homes built before 1980.

Bathroom

Bathroom Sink Faucet Repair

Single-handle bathroom faucets use cartridge valves โ€” 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.

Shower

Shower Valve Cartridge Replacement

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 Florence, OR homes.

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

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.

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 โ€” chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze.

From Dripping Faucet to Fixed โ€” 4 Clean Steps

We identify the valve type before ordering or installing any part. The right cartridge for your faucet brand is what produces a lasting result โ€” not a generic part that fits loosely.

1

Call & Describe Your Faucet Symptom

If you know the brand โ€” Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister โ€” tell us. If not, the tech will identify it on-site from the valve body and handle design.

2

Valve Type Identification & Diagnosis

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.

3

Flat-Rate Quote & Repair Execution

If the faucet body is corroded or the seat is damaged, we explain the repair complication and re-quote before proceeding.

4

Verify Zero Drip Before Leaving

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.

Real Faucet Repair Reviews from Florence, OR

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

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.

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.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

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.

What to Know Before Scheduling Faucet Repair in Florence, OR

The more important issue: a drip that starts slow almost never stays at one drip per second. The cartridge or seat washer continues to deteriorate, worsening the leak until it's a steady stream or a handle that no longer shuts off at all.
Replacement becomes the right answer when: the fixture body is corroded at the mounting surface or supply ports; the faucet is discontinued with no available replacement cartridge; or the fixture is very old and the homeowner wants to update to a water-efficient or different-style model.
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 โ€” 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 โ€” a rebuild kit with new cam, packing, and springs typically resolves it. We assess which type you have and quote accordingly.
Ball faucets are more common in older kitchen faucets and in some outdoor fixtures. Most modern single-handle fixtures are cartridge or ceramic disc designs. Identifying which type is present is the first step in every faucet repair call.
These estimates assume the shut-off valves under the sink operate correctly. Corroded angle stop valves that need replacement before work can begin add 20โ€“30 minutes. We tell you upfront if the stop valves are a concern.
