We hope everyone had a happy new year and a Merry Christmas! Starting the new year, most people usually have a new goal. What if that “new goal” is to take care of your drains before there is an issue. Winter is here and that means storms are coming! Keeping your storm drains and sewer drains clear are essential during the weather. Fall has passed which means lots of leaves have fallen and could have possibly clogged your storm drains and gutters. Getting those drains clear before the storm hits will prevent them from backing up and causing a major issue. Craig Johnson Plumbing has a Hydro Jetter and a snake that could clear those lines for you!

If you’re interested in keeping these drains clear, give us a call! Remember – new year, new you and clear drains!

A sewer inspection is done with a specialized camera to inspect the inside of pipes, drains and sewer lines. Sewer cameras can determine if there is something wrong within the system. Sewer inspections are critical in discovering issues such as root intrusions and obstructions. If you have recurring clogs / obstructions, we recommend a sewer camera to determine if there is a larger issue going on.

Sewer inspections can also be preventative. When selling/buying a home they recommend getting a camera sewer inspection to prevent any issues or address the issue before getting worse.

The camera is a specialized tool that only a professional should operate. It records a video in real life that can even be viewed on a computer screen to review the inspection again.

Hot water is a necessity! There is nothing like waking up and realizing you have no hot water. Getting your water heater flushed is very important to keep it maintained and working properly.

Flushing your water heater will increase the longevity of the unit, get hot water quickly, improve efficiency and it will comply with warranty.

Your water heater is a huge investment, and of course, you want it to last as long as possible. Over time sediment and lime can get into your water and eventually it can settle at the bottom of your water heater tank which can cause it to stop working effectively.

It is recommended that you get your water heater flushed annually. If you have hard water, you may want to get it serviced every 6 months.

Craig Johnson Plumbing can flush your water heater and ensure proper operations.
