Can you believe it – It’s going to be winter before we know it which means we need to be prepared!

Storm drains are one of those things we tend to forget about until it’s too late. Storm drains are large, grated drains that you see on the streets controlling and collecting the water. Did you know that these get clogged too?!

During fall and winter, they often get clogged with leaves, trash, debris and the heavy rain fall causes these to pool and get clogged with all the debris. You will notice that your storm drain is clogged with the indication of:

slow drainage
pooling of water
visible debris
odor

When you see that a clog is forming call Craig Johnson Plumbing to resolve your issue by either using our Hydro Jetter or snake to clear the clog. The Hydro Jetter is the best way to clear these clogs due to their high-pressure water to dislodge any debris.

It’s also important to prevent this type of a situation by clearing it before winter and the heavy rain fall so that you don’t end up with a clogged and overflowing storm drain!

Tis the season for freezing weather! During this time of the year frozen pipes are going to become the biggest emergency this time of year and Craig Johnson Plumbing is here to help during these emergencies or to even just examine your pipes before they freeze to make sure they’re in good condition.

What Causes Pipes to Freeze?

If there is standing water in your pipes during the times when temperatures drop the water will then expand and freeze. It could then cause pressure on the pipes causing them to burst.

If you plan on leaving for the holidays and / or go on vacation during this cold weather, we recommend you turn off your water before leaving to prevent this issue when you’re out of town.

How to Prevent Pipes From Freezing

Again, if you plan on leaving your home for a few days, remember to shut off your main water supply. This will ensure that you will not have any standing water in your pipes for them freeze while you’re gone.

INSULATION. Insulating your pipes will protect them as well helping them from freezing. If you are unsure if your pipes are insulated, please call us and we can help you!

Our Hydro Jetter has arrived!!

What is Hydro Jetting?

Hydro Jetting is a plumbing solution that is noninvasive and clears pipes by effectively removing blockages. Clogged drains can sometimes take a lot of work to clear and sometimes even require excavation but using this Jetter can help solves those complicated clogs with this solution.

We strongly recommend using this equipment before the winter to make sure your drains are clear and flowing. When it’s sweater weather.. it’s time for the Jetter!

Our Hydro Jetter can clear your drains and pipes of several things:

Grease
Roots
Scum
Mineral Deposits
Food Waste
Debris

There are many benefits to using the Hydro Jetter. While using a snake to unclog your drains works for most clogs, however, it doesn’t clear everything. The Hydro Jetter’s most importance is how effective it is. It completely clears your drains, and you can even use it on a Culvert.

Are you concerned about the environment? The only things necessary to use the Jetter is a power outlet and water which means it’s eco-friendly! You don’t need to put all the chemicals down your drain if you choose to get the Hydro Jetter service!
