Same-day drain cleaning and sewer line repair for Nicasio's well-and-septic homes, from the valley floor to the ridges above Nicasio Valley Road.
Out here in the Nicasio valley, almost every home runs on a private well and its own septic system, so a clogged drain isn't a city-sewer problem you can ignore – it's a backup heading straight for your tank and drainfield. Add decades-old laterals on older properties, long horizontal runs from houses set far back off Nicasio Valley Road, and oak, bay, and redwood roots hunting for moisture, and you get the slow drains and main-line clogs we clear week after week. John Owens Services has been the North Bay's plumber since 1986, and we bring camera inspection and proper drain machines to your door instead of guessing.
Yes – we provide same-day drain cleaning throughout Nicasio and West Marin whenever scheduling allows. As a licensed contractor (#501853), we arrive with cameras and drain machines to clear the clog and find its cause in one visit.
Absolutely. Most Nicasio homes are on septic, so we routinely clear lines running to the tank and tell you whether the problem is the line, a full tank, or the drainfield – not just snake it and leave.
Tree-root intrusion is the top cause out here, since oak, bay, and redwood roots find their way into aging clay or older laterals. We camera the line to confirm roots versus a crack or sag, then recommend hydro-jetting or sewer repair as needed.
A camera inspection tells us for sure – light root or grease buildup often just needs cleaning, while cracked, root-split, or collapsed pipe needs sewer repair. We show you the footage so you're not paying to dig blind.
From the Marin coast to Sonoma wine country, we bring honest plumbing, heating & cooling to homeowners across both counties — based locally since 1986.
