Same-day drain cleaning, sewer cleaning, and hydro jetting for San Anselmo homes — from Sleepy Hollow to the Hub.
San Anselmo's early-1900s craftsman bungalows and ranch homes sit under some of Marin's oldest heritage oaks and redwoods — and those roots have spent decades working their way into clay and Orangeburg sewer laterals all over the Ross Valley. Add the winter storms that swell San Anselmo and Sleepy Hollow Creeks and raise the groundwater table, and slow drains here often turn into full backups fast. John Owens Services has cleared, camera-inspected, and hydro jetted these lines since 1986, so we know what's actually behind a recurring clog on a street like Sais Avenue or Butterfield Road.
Most straightforward drain cleaning is a flat, upfront price quoted before we start — no surprises. If a camera inspection shows roots or a damaged lateral, we'll show you the footage and lay out your options in writing first.
Yes — we dispatch same-day whenever possible, which matters during Ross Valley winter storms when a backed-up main can't wait. We're licensed (CA #501853) and fully equipped to clear it on the first visit.
For the heavy root intrusion and grease common in San Anselmo's older clay and Orangeburg laterals, hydro jetting scours the full pipe wall clean and keeps it clear far longer than a cable, which often just bores a hole through the blockage.
The mature oaks and redwoods that make San Anselmo beautiful send roots toward the moisture in aging sewer joints, then grow inside the pipe. We hydro jet the roots out and camera the line to find the entry point and recommend a lasting fix.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
