Clogs and leaks are one of the most common plumbing problems in all homes. Although most problems are fixable with a plunger, there could be more of a serious problem that may be more difficult to detect which is why we are here to offer professional help.

When does your plumbing need a camera inspection?

Since everything is connected to your main sewer line some of these plumbing issues can be more complicated and will require our help. Here are some warning signs to keep an eye out for to determine if you need a camera inspection:

• Sewage backup – If you’re experiencing a clog that is only affecting one drain, a snake could most likely fix this problem. However, if multiple drains are backing up this means that it’s a main line clog which could require a camera inspection to see if there is any damage to the line.
• Slow drains – This could involve a kitchen or bathroom drain as well as a toilet.
• Foul odor – If you’re able to smell sewer around your home then there is most likely a crack in the sewer line that would need to be replaced. Smelling sewer at your home is not normal.
• Increased water bills – This could mean that there is a hidden leak somewhere within the lines. Leaks can be very small in which using a camera could have a better chance of finding it to repair it.
• Pests – Have you ever wondered how those unwanted creatures can enter your home? Pests can squeeze into the slightest cracks through your lines and enter your home.

If you are experiencing any of these issues – call us immediately.

Camera inspections keep your plumbing clear and functional

Scheduling a camera inspection is a great way to get a look inside your pipes to detect and repair potential problems. Being able to detect a problem early on is critical. Camera inspections help you in many ways as it’s very accurate and it helps prevent future plumbing problems.

If you’re interested in scheduling an inspection, please give us a call to schedule!

Thank you for voting us Best Plumber of Nevada County for 2021!

Because of you, Craig Johnson Plumbing was awarded the coveted Best of Nevada County 2021 by The Union‘s readers for the SEVENTH year in a row! We are so grateful for the trust this community has in us and giving us the opportunity to service you. Our goal for 2022 is to continue providing the best plumbing service that we can offer!

We are incredibly thankful to be voted Nevada County’s best plumber!

As we navigate through this serious situation that is gripping our country, we’d like to assure our clients that Craig Johnson Plumbing has taken appropriate and recommended precautions to ensure the safety of our employees and customers.

We remain open and are still available to do service calls.

Here are some of the steps we’re taking to continue to provide our services to clients in a safe and healthy way:

• We are asking clients to refrain from visiting our office in person until further notice. Furthermore, we are sending digital invoices whenever possible to avoid any unnecessary contact with clients.
• Since we are an essential business, we’ve had safety meetings with our employees based on the literature that’s been supplied through the CDC, GotSafety and the State of California.
• Our employees are equipped with sanitizers, bleach solutions, booties and masks.
• We are employing sanitization and “social distancing” at the office to prevent possible spread or transmission.
• We are screening service calls, as well as having clients retreat to another room during a service call to stay within the 6 ft recommended for “social distancing”.
• Technicians are cleaning their work area before and after service, in addition to having the proper preventative gear on.
• In our business we do a lot of exterior work, so in many cases there will be zero contact with clients.
• If you have special needs or concerns, we will do our best to accommodate those needs to keep you comfortable and safe.

We want to provide as much support to our community as we can during this time, and will continue to do so while monitoring recommended procedures daily. Should you have any additional concerns we are here to help and listen. Feel free to reach out—and keep washing those hands!

When was the last time you thought about your smoke detectors?
The best time to check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors is when you are already moving around the house to get ready for the next season. Have you check your batteries? Is the unit is working properly? Is the unit in the best place to detect an emergency?  Additionally, check to make sure you have extra batteries on hand if the batteries do not need to be replaced just yet. This way you will greatly reduce the time the unit is not working.

At Craig Johnson Plumbing we wanted to share with you a little Fall tip…hopefully, we’ve brought something to your attention that you wouldn’t normally think about…kind of like your plumbing. This is also a good time to check under you sinks for any dampness you may not have noticed, especially in bathrooms that you don’t normally use.

Take care…and enjoy this sweater weather.

Thanksgiving Plumbing Tips

• Don’t put grease, oil, or stringy vegetables, such as celery stalks or potato peels (basically any large, tough food scraps or stringy foods) down the garbage disposal.
• Make sure you turn your garbage disposal on before putting any waste inside, and also let the water run for a few seconds first.
• Since your garbage disposal is one if the most vulnerable pieces of equipment in your home on Thanksgiving Day, consider playing it safe and throwing all food in the garbage instead.
• If something falls into the garbage disposal by accident, NEVER put your hand down the disposal without first turning power off at the source. There is a switch on the garbage disposal unit that will turn power off. If you can’t find the switch, turn off power to the unit from the breaker box.
• If you find yourself in need of some professional plumbing assistance, we will be available to help you out!

From our local paper – The Union Grass Valley, CA

A shout out for local businesses! I would like to publicly thank Craig Johnson Plumbing for donating services to Sammie’s Friends’ cat facility.

We desperately needed hot water to clean litter boxes (try cleaning anything in ice cold water)! Also, Jason at Sierra Plumbing Supply donated a hot water heater, Mo from MEM Electrical provided the electrical capability, and Craig and Joel from Craig Johnson Plumbing ran the pipes and completed the installation.

Thank you from the staff, the volunteers, and all the kitties at Sammie’s Friends. Businesses like these need to be supported and recognized for their generosity to our community.
