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.

“Who’s Your Plumber?”

When you think of a plumber do you think about how they give back to their local community? Probably not, you probably haven’t even thought about it to be honest. Well, here ya go…Craig Johnson Plumbing is very active in many local organizations. We love supporting many non-profits in the Greater Grass Valley and Nevada City area. At Craig Johnson Plumbing we believe in supporting the community that supports you. It’s important to do what you can to help others where you live.

Consider our latest donation of a “Shower Basket” to the Gold County Kiwanis of Grass Valley. They’re hosting an event at Atria, Grass Valley called “Are you Smarter than a Senior”. This fun filled event is on Friday, May 19th, 2017. This special game night fundraiser benefiting Gold Country Kiwanis will surely be one you won’t want to miss. Participating teams will compete for a grand prize in a quick-recall match, answering questions submitted by local high school seniors. Sit back and enjoy the entertainment along with wine, hors d’oeuvres and raffle prizes from local merchants. If you’re felling like strutting your stuff, you should consider being a contestant and see if you can stump the senior!

“Who are the Kiwanis?”

The Gold Country Kiwanis is an organization dedicated to developing future leaders one child and community at a time. Please consider supporting them for this event.

Craig Johnson Plumbing- No job too big or too small

Craig Johnson Plumbing has been serving their neighbors in Nevada and Placer Counties since 2004. Craig and Denise, along with their two daughters, have made Grass Valley their home since 1999. They started their family-owned business so that they could raise their girls in this small, friendly community, which allowed them the freedom to attend any and all school functions.

Now that their daughters are adults they’ve had more time to focus on the growth of their family business. Craig Johnson Plumbing recently moved to a larger location at 10841 Rough and Ready Hwy. in Grass Valley. They’ve added five additional plumbers to their business family and are equipped to do all phases of plumbing, Residential and Commercial. No job too big or too small…from a clogged drain to re-plumbing your home, CJP is up for the task.

Craig, Denise and their crew are never too busy to answer your call. Whether you have an emergency or would like to schedule a service call at your home or office you can count on them!  CJP owners and employees pride themselves on offering fast, reliable and fair service to all of their clients.

“We are truly flattered and honored to have won Best Plumbing Service for the past two years from the readers of The Union,” said Denise & Craig Johnson.  “We are a business that prides ourselves on word of mouth and referrals. A referral is a highest form of flattery; when a client refers family and friends to our business it represents an appreciation of a job well done and is a stamp of approval that speaks volumes.” So we thank the Union readers for giving us their stamp of approval for the second year in a row!

We received the sweetest email yesterday – and with permission we are sharing ❤
“I just want to send you a belated thank you. You came out to our house at the end of May 2016. It was a bit of an emergency…because I was in labor! When we got home from the hospital the pipe was fixed and our water was working perfectly. A few weeks later we received this adorable onesie in the mail. Too cute!!”
Thank you again for your wonderful service.

Plumbing…it’s kind of important. Indoor plumbing is something that can be taken for granted until it’s not working properly. When you have an emergency in the plumbing department who do you call? Do you have a plumber? OR do you scramble looking for one? We are here for you when your plumbing is acting up or when you’d like to schedule a non-emergency remodel, fixture upgrade, water heater, new toilet, garbage disposal, annual drain maintenance…just to name a few. Avoid emergency situations by identifying your local plumber who will be there when you need them. No need to panic, call Craig Johnson Plumbing for all of you plumbing needs. Plumbing…it’s what we do so you don’t have to!

It’s that time of year…Our local newspaper The Union ask the community to vote for their favorites, favorite restaurant, favorite salon, favorite local non-profit, favorite PLUMBER – just to name a few. We were so fortunate to win this honor last year for 2015 Best of. This year we are again in the running and are so lucky to  be named on the ballot for the Best Plumber. The feedback from our community has made this award mean that we’ve done our job, and we’ve done it well. If you feel so inclined to take the time to vote – we sincerely hope you’d consider a vote for us.
