Slow drains, recurring clogs, and sewer backups can quickly disrupt your home. John Owens Services provides professional drain and sewer cleaning in Novato to restore flow, identify the cause, and help prevent future problems.
Drain and sewer problems rarely improve on their own. A slow sink, recurring toilet backup, or shower that drains poorly can be a sign of buildup, root intrusion, or a blockage deeper in the system.
Novato homes often deal with mature tree roots, aging sewer laterals, and years of accumulated grease or debris. Our team provides drain cleaning, sewer cleaning, hydro-jetting, and sewer camera inspections to identify the actual cause of the problem before recommending a solution.
Since 1986, John Owens Services has helped homeowners throughout Marin County protect their plumbing systems. We follow the John Owens Way: maintain first, repair when needed, replace last. That means focusing on practical solutions instead of unnecessary replacements.

Recurring clogs are often caused by grease buildup, root intrusion, pipe damage, or debris that was never fully removed. A camera inspection can help identify the underlying cause.
Drain cleaning addresses a blockage in a specific fixture line, such as a sink or shower. Sewer cleaning focuses on the main line that carries wastewater from the entire home.
Yes. Tree roots can enter small openings in older sewer pipes and gradually expand, restricting flow and increasing the risk of backups.
Not always. The best cleaning method depends on the condition of the pipe and the type of blockage. A professional inspection helps determine the appropriate solution.
If multiple fixtures are affected, clogs keep returning, water backs up into the home, or DIY methods are no longer working, professional service is recommended.
Many older homes benefit from periodic sewer and drain maintenance because aging pipes and root intrusion can increase the likelihood of blockages over time.
