From leaking pipes and clogged drains to fixture replacements and plumbing upgrades, John Owens Services helps North Bay homeowners keep their plumbing systems working safely and reliably. Serving Marin and Sonoma County since 1986.
Plumbing problems rarely improve on their own. A small leak, slow drain, or worn fixture can quickly turn into water damage, higher utility bills, or a bigger repair. Since 1986, we’ve helped local homeowners make smart decisions about their plumbing systems with honest recommendations and long-term solutions. We follow the John Owens Way: maintain first, repair when needed, and replace last. That means we look for the most practical solution for your home instead of recommending replacement when a quality repair can do the job.
Our licensed plumbers repair toilets, faucets, garbage disposals, pipes, shutoff valves, water lines, and more. If your issue involves a hidden leak, we can also help with leak detection. If the problem starts in your drains or sewer line, our drain cleaning team can identify and clear the blockage.
Whether you live in a newer home, a vintage property, or an Eichler home, our team brings decades of local plumbing experience to every visit.
When replacement is the right choice, our team can install new plumbing fixtures and components with careful attention to workmanship and long-term performance. We install and replace a wide range of residential plumbing components, including toilets, faucets, showers, garbage disposals, water lines, shutoff valves, and other plumbing fixtures. If you’re also upgrading a water heater, our water heater services team can help coordinate the work.
Plumbing decisions should be clear, practical, and based on the actual condition of your home. We will always attempt an efficient plumbing repair solution rather than jump straight to an expensive replacement recommendation. Our team gives you straight answers and options that fit the situation, even for properties like Eichler homes that require specified attention.
Recurring clogs in any plumbing fixture is a sign of a larger blockage deep in the sewer pipe. It is worth asking a plumbing professional to inspect the pipe and provide a method such as hydrojetting to clear the clog.
Yes. Even a slow leak can damage drywall, flooring, cabinets, and framing over time. Early repair can help prevent more costly repairs later.
Hidden leaks can show up as water stains, mold growth, damp areas, or unexpectedly high water bills. Our team can inspect the plumbing system and recommend the next steps.
Yes. We can help homeowners update plumbing fixtures and components as part of a remodeling or renovation project.
In many cases, newer plumbing fixtures can provide better performance and improved water efficiency compared to older models.
Installation requirements vary depending on the project. We can discuss the equipment and determine whether it is appropriate for the installation.
Low water pressure can be a result of blockages in fixtures, a valve not opening all the way, your pipe system being outdated, or a hidden leak somewhere in your plumbing.
This could be because of the distance between your water heater and the shower, the diameter of your pipes, or because your water heater tank might have an issue, like a build up of sediment.
This depends on the scope of the work involved. When you hire John Owens Services for the job, we handle the permit process for you.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
