Mill Valley's beloved older homes — from the redwood-shaded cottages off Throckmorton and Cascade Canyon to the mid-century hillside builds in Tam Valley and Homestead Valley — come with plumbing that's seen decades of damp, fog, and seasonal swings. That moisture, combined with original galvanized lines and hard-working fixtures, means leaky faucets, running toilets, and corroded shut-offs are some of the most common calls we get here. John Owens Services has been the plumber Mill Valley homeowners trust since 1986, with technicians who know exactly what to expect behind the walls of a 1940s Cascade-district home.

Why Mill Valley Homeowners Choose John Owens

  • Local since 1986 — we know Mill Valley's housing stock, from canyon-floor cottages to steep Tam Valley lots, and the dated galvanized and copper systems hiding behind their walls
  • Same-day faucet and toilet repair so a drip or a running tank doesn't waste water (or your weekend) while you wait for a callback
  • Licensed California plumbers (CA #501853) and fully insured — the right call for older homes where a quick fix can expose bigger, hidden problems
  • Backed by a 4.9-star Google rating and happy customers from Marin neighbors who trust us in their homes
  • Straight, upfront pricing explained before we start — no surprise charges once the work is done
  • We carry common faucet cartridges, toilet fill valves, and flappers on the truck, so most repairs are finished in a single visit

Signs You Need Plumbing in Mill Valley

  • A faucet that drips or won't fully shut off — often a worn cartridge or washer, common in Mill Valley's long-installed fixtures
  • A toilet that runs constantly, ghost-flushes, or rocks at the base — wasting water and signaling a worn flapper, fill valve, or failing wax seal
  • Low or sputtering water pressure, or rusty-tinted water, which can point to corroded galvanized supply lines in older homes
  • Corroded or seized angle stops under sinks and toilets that won't turn — a frequent issue in our damp, foggy climate
  • Water stains, warped cabinet bases, or a musty smell under a sink — early signs of a slow leak that needs attention before it spreads

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get a plumber to my home in Mill Valley for a faucet repair?

We offer same-day service across Mill Valley and Marin County in most cases. Call early and we'll do our best to have a licensed plumber (CA #501853) at your door the same day.

How much does toilet repair in Mill Valley typically cost?

Most toilet repairs — a new flapper, fill valve, or wax-seal replacement — are quick, affordable fixes, and we give you an upfront price before we start. We carry common parts on the truck so it's usually done in one visit.

My older Mill Valley home has galvanized pipes — can you still repair a leaky faucet, or do I need a full replacement?

We repair leaky faucets every day, even in homes with aging galvanized or copper lines. We'll fix the faucet and flag any corroded shut-offs or supply lines we spot, so you can decide what's worth addressing now.

Do you fix running toilets and faucet drips, or only handle bigger plumbing jobs?

Both. Running toilets and dripping faucets are some of our most common Mill Valley calls — we handle the small repairs that waste water just as readily as larger plumbing work.
