A garbage disposal leaking, low water pressure in home fixtures, running toilets, and leaky faucets rarely fix themselves. John Owens Services has been helping Mill Valley homeowners with plumbing repair and installation since 1986.
Plumbing problems can start small and become expensive if ignored. Whether you have a leaky faucet, need a garbage disposal repair, or are dealing with high water pressure in home fixtures, our team focuses on finding the real cause before recommending a solution. Mill Valley homes often include older plumbing systems, remodel additions, tight crawlspaces, and unique access challenges. We take the time to inspect the problem, explain your options clearly, and recommend practical repairs that fit the condition of the home.
The John Owens Way is simple: maintain first, repair when needed, and replace only when replacement makes the most long-term sense. That approach helps homeowners avoid unnecessary costs while protecting their plumbing systems. We also offer water heater solutions, drain cleaning services for stubborn plumbing clogs, and leak detection for hidden water leaks.
When replacement is necessary, a quality plumbing installation helps your home operate more efficiently, reliably, and comfortably. Mill Valley homes often present unique plumbing challenges, from older infrastructure and hillside construction to remodels and custom layouts. Our team takes the time to understand the project and recommend solutions that fit the home’s needs.
Since 1986, homeowners throughout Marin County have trusted John Owens Services for honest recommendations and dependable workmanship. We believe in maintaining systems whenever possible, repairing what can be repaired, and recommending replacement only when it provides clear long-term value. Our team regularly works on older homes, remodeled properties, and the unique plumbing systems found throughout Mill Valley.
Yes. We can assist with plumbing installations that are part of kitchen, bathroom, and other residential remodeling projects.
In many cases, newer fixtures can improve water efficiency and reliability while reducing ongoing maintenance and repair needs.
Installation options can vary by project. We can discuss your plans and determine the best approach for your installation.
Recurring toilet clogs can mean there is a larger backup in the pipe. A professional plumber can use tools like sewer cameras, drain snakes, and hydrojetters to clear the clog.
Low water pressure can point to blockages in your fixtures, a valve that hasn’t fully opened somewhere, or even a hidden water leak.
It could be because of the physical distance between your shower and the water heater, the diameter of your pipes, or because of an issue with your water heater itself, like sediment buildup.
A smell of sewage in your house is a warning sign of a backup in your pipes. It is best to call a plumber right away to perform a sewer inspection.
Permits are typically required for the installation of any water heater. John Owens Services takes care of the permit process for you before beginning the job.
Pipes could be loose, water pressure could be too high, or thermal expansion could be causing the pipes to move.
