Faucet leaks, low water pressure, running toilets, and worn plumbing fixtures can quickly become big problems. John Owens Services helps San Rafael homeowners diagnose issues accurately and make smart, lasting repairs and installations.
Plumbing problems have a way of getting worse when ignored. A small leak, faulty valve, or aging fixture can lead to water damage, wasted water, and unexpected repair costs. From older homes in established San Rafael neighborhoods to newer properties throughout Marin County, we work on a wide range of residential plumbing systems. We focus on solving the actual problem rather than simply treating the symptoms.
The John Owens Way is maintain first, repair when needed, and replace last. We believe homeowners deserve honest recommendations and repairs that make sense for the condition of the system. If recurring clogs are part of the issue, our drain cleaning services may help. If you suspect a hidden leak behind walls or under floors, our leak detection service can help identify the source. We also offer services for all types of water heaters.
If replacement is the best solution, a properly installed plumbing fixture or component can improve reliability, efficiency, and day-to-day comfort throughout your home. San Rafael homeowners often choose plumbing upgrades to improve performance, reduce maintenance concerns, modernize fixtures, or support remodeling plans. Our team takes the time to evaluate the project and recommend solutions that fit the home’s needs and your long-term goals.
The John Owens Way is simple: maintain first, repair when possible, and replace only when replacement provides clear long-term value. Since 1986, homeowners throughout Marin County have trusted us for honest recommendations, quality workmanship, and dependable plumbing solutions. We even offer efficient plumbing solutions for historic Eichler homes.

A toilet clog can be recurring because of a larger blockage somewhere in the sewer pipe. A plumber can perform a sewer inspection and use methods such as hydrojetting to resolve the issue.
This could be the result of a hidden leak, an unopened valve, or because the piping in your home is out of date.
