Plumbing problems rarely improve on their own. A small leak, worn fixture, or hidden plumbing issue can quickly turn into water damage, higher utility bills, or a larger repair. Our plumbing services team helps Novato homeowners find the source of the problem and make informed decisions about the next step.

The John Owens Way is simple when it comes to plumbing: maintain first, repair when needed, and replace only when replacement is truly the best long-term option. That approach has helped Marin and Sonoma County homeowners protect their homes since 1986. Whether you are dealing with a leaking faucet, a running toilet, or low water pressure, we focus on repairs that restore reliable performance without recommending unnecessary replacement.

If a replacement is necessary, a professional plumbing installation helps ensure dependable performance, proper operation, and long-term value. Whether you’re getting a garbage disposal replacement, a new drain installation, or completing a home improvement project, proper installation matters. We are a local plumber that helps Novato homeowners evaluate your options and select solutions that fit your goals and budget.

We can also assist with water heater issues, hidden leaks affecting your home, and drain clogs slowing down your plumbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes rusty or brown hot water?

This could be a sign of a corroded anode rod in your water heater, or sediment buildup within the tank. A professional plumber can repair this for you.

Why does my toilet keep clogging?

If a toilet is clogging continuously, it could mean that there is a larger blockage somewhere in the sewer pipe. A licensed plumber can use tools like drian snakes and hydrojetters to clear out a stubborn clog.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?

Permit requirements may vary from project to project depending on the amount of work involved. John Owens will take care of the permit process for you before beginning any work.

Why is my water bill suddenly so high?

A high water bill might mean you have a leak in your plumbing somewhere you don’t know about, or various plumbing equipment has become inefficient.

What if I think I have a hidden leak?

If you notice unexplained water usage, stains, damp areas, or musty odors, a professional inspection can help identify the source before the problem worsens.

What could be causing low water pressure?

Low water pressure can be a sign of a hidden leak somewhere in your plumbing. It might also stem from clogged fixtures or a valve that is not all the way open.

Yes. Our plumbing services can help with plumbing installations that are part of kitchen, bathroom, and other residential remodeling projects.
