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

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.
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 Pendleton, SC 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 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 Pendleton, SC homes built before 1980.
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.
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 Pendleton, SC 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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