A dripping faucet wastes thousands of gallons of water per year. A broken shower valve traps a household with scalding-or-freezing showers. A leaking supply line under the sink causes slow water damage that goes unnoticed until the cabinet floor is rotted. These are all fixable — and Honey Bear Plumbing fixes them throughout Knoxville and Knox County, usually the same day you call.

Faucet & Fixture Services We Offer
Leaky Faucet Repair
A faucet that drips one drop per second wastes approximately 3,000 gallons per year. We replace worn washers, O-rings, cartridges, and ceramic discs in all faucet types — ball, cartridge, ceramic disc, and compression — on kitchen, bathroom, and utility faucets.
Faucet Replacement & Installation
Upgrading an old or failing faucet? We install all major brands — Moen, Delta, Kohler, Pfister, and others. We bring the faucet if you select one, or you provide yours. Installation includes new supply lines, shutoff valves, and a full leak check.
Shower & Tub Valve Repair
A shower valve that only produces scalding or cold water has a failed cartridge or thermostat. Knoxville's older homes often have original single-handle Delta or Moen cartridge valves that are decades overdue for cartridge replacement. We diagnose and replace the cartridge or valve to restore proper temperature control.
Shower Head Replacement
A clogged, low-pressure, or old shower head is a quick fix that makes a big difference. We install standard and low-flow shower heads and clean mineral buildup from existing fixtures.
Supply Line Replacement
The braided or flexible supply lines under sinks and behind toilets have a lifespan of 5–10 years. Failed supply lines cause slow leaks that rot cabinet floors before being noticed. We replace supply lines proactively or after failure.
Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation
A garbage disposal that hums but won't spin, frequently jams, or has lost grinding power needs service. We reset, repair, or replace all major brands — InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King. Installation includes wiring and drain connection.
Outdoor Hose Bib Repair
A leaking hose bib or outdoor faucet that won't shut off fully wastes water and can freeze in winter. We replace hose bibs and install frost-free anti-siphon models where appropriate.
