Drain problems often start small. A sink that drains slowly, a shower that backs up, or a toilet that frequently clogs can all be signs of a larger issue within the drain or sewer system.

Many Tiburon homes deal with mature tree roots, aging sewer lines, and years of buildup inside plumbing pipes. Our team provides drain cleaning, sewer cleaning, hydro-jetting, and sewer camera inspections to identify the source of the problem and recommend the most appropriate solution.

Since 1986, John Owens Services has helped homeowners throughout Marin and Sonoma County maintain dependable plumbing systems. We follow the John Owens Way: maintain first, repair when needed, replace last.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes recurring drain clogs?

Recurring clogs are often caused by grease buildup, root intrusion, pipe damage, or debris that was not fully removed. Finding the source of the problem helps prevent future blockages.

What is the difference between drain cleaning and sewer cleaning?

Drain cleaning addresses individual drains such as sinks, tubs, and showers. Sewer cleaning focuses on the main line that carries wastewater away from the entire home.

Can tree roots clog a sewer line?

Yes. Tree roots can enter small openings in sewer pipes and continue growing inside the line, restricting flow and increasing the risk of backups.

When is a sewer camera inspection recommended?

A camera inspection is often recommended when clogs keep returning, multiple fixtures are affected, or the cause of the problem is unclear.

Is hydro-jetting always necessary?

Not always. The best cleaning method depends on the condition of the pipe and the type of blockage. A professional evaluation helps determine the right solution.

When should I call a professional for drain cleaning?

If multiple drains are slow, backups are occurring, or clogs continue to return, professional service can help identify and resolve the issue.
