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 — eventually leaking continuously or becoming stiff and difficult to operate. Masters Plumbing Service's faucet techs in Glen Echo, MD 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.

Our Qualifications

What We Bring to Every Faucet Repair Call in Glen Echo, MD

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 Glen Echo, MD.

🔩

Valve-Type Specific Expertise

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 — 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

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 — it can cause scalding or cold-water bypass.

🚿

Shower & Tub Valve Specialists

Shower valves — particularly pressure-balance and thermostatic mixing valves — 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 Glen Echo, MD homes and understand the anti-scald setpoint calibration that should be verified after any shower valve cartridge replacement.

💧

Under-Sink Leak Diagnosis

Not every under-sink leak is the faucet itself — 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

From Kitchen to Shower — Faucet Repair Across Your Home

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

Kitchen

Kitchen Faucet Repair & Replacement

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.

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 — telling us which handle's valve needs attention.

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 — 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 Glen Echo, MD 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

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 — chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze.

Our Process

How Our Faucet Repair Process Works in Glen Echo, MD

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

Call & Describe Your Faucet Symptom

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

Valve Type Identification & Diagnosis

For many major-brand cartridges — Moen 1225, Delta RP46074, Kohler GP30413 — 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 — cartridge replacement, ball assembly rebuild, aerator service — are straight-forward pricing with no variable labor component.

Verify Zero Drip Before Leaving

We also confirm the angle stop valves under the sink operate — 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.

Customer Reviews

Masters Plumbing Service Faucet Repair — Our Customers Speak

★★★★★

My kitchen faucet had been dripping for two years — 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.

— K. Svensson, Glen Echo

★★★★★

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.

— P. & G. Delacroix, Glen Echo, MD

★★★★★

Full bathroom faucet replacement — 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.

Common Questions

Faucet Questions We Answer Every Day in Glen Echo

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.

Temperature swings during a shower — particularly when another fixture is used elsewhere in the house — indicate a failing pressure-balance cartridge. The cartridge's job is to compensate for supply pressure changes caused by other fixtures drawing hot or cold water, keeping shower temperature stable. When the cartridge wears, it loses this compensation ability and temperature follows the pressure fluctuation.

If the stiffness is in a ball-type faucet, the cam and packing assembly may be binding — 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 20–30 minutes. We tell you upfront if the stop valves are a concern.
