Slow drains, recurring clogs, and sewer line problems can disrupt your entire home. John Owens Services provides professional drain and sewer cleaning in San Rafael to restore flow and help prevent future plumbing issues.
A slow drain is often more than a minor inconvenience. When clogs keep returning or multiple fixtures begin draining poorly, the problem may be deeper within the drain or sewer system.
Many San Rafael homes have aging plumbing infrastructure, mature landscaping, and sewer lines that can be affected by root intrusion or years of buildup. Our team provides drain cleaning, sewer cleaning, hydro-jetting, and sewer camera inspections to identify the cause and recommend the right solution.
Since 1986, John Owens Services has helped homeowners throughout Marin and Sonoma County maintain reliable plumbing systems. We follow the John Owens Way: maintain first, repair when needed, replace last.

Drain and sewer issues are not always caused by a simple blockage. Root intrusion, damaged pipes, and long-term buildup can all affect performance. Our team takes the time to diagnose the issue, explain your options clearly, and recommend practical solutions based on your home’s actual needs.
Recurring clogs are often caused by grease buildup, root intrusion, pipe damage, or debris that was never fully removed. A professional inspection can help identify the source of the problem.
Drain cleaning addresses individual fixture drains such as sinks, tubs, and showers. Sewer cleaning focuses on the main sewer line that serves the entire home.
Yes. Tree roots can enter small openings in older sewer pipes and gradually expand inside the line, restricting flow and increasing the risk of backups.
Camera inspections are often useful when clogs return repeatedly, drainage problems affect multiple fixtures, or the cause of the issue is not immediately clear.
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 approach.
If drains are slow, clogs keep returning, multiple fixtures are affected, or water is backing up into the home, professional service is recommended.
