“They don’t make them like they used to.”

We hear this one a lot. But sometimes, the appliance isn’t the problem.

This tankless water heater had a clogged inlet water filter packed with debris. The restriction was cutting the water flow down so much that the heater couldn’t get the minimum GPM it needed to fire.

The customer joked that they don’t build appliances like they used to. 😄 The truth is, modern tankless water heaters are designed to be much more efficient, using tighter controls on water and gas consumption. That also means a restriction that might not have affected an older system can cause a modern tankless heater to shut down.

Regular maintenance matters—especially cleaning the inlet filter and checking for restrictions.

Sometimes the appliance isn't broken. It just needs to breathe. 🔧

ROOTS IN YOUR DRAIN LINE 🌱🚽

This is what can happen when tree roots find their way into a sewer or drain line.

Roots are attracted to the moisture inside the pipe and can enter through small cracks, loose joints, or damaged connections. Once they get inside, they continue growing and can catch toilet paper, grease, and other debris—eventually causing slow drains, backups, or a complete blockage.

🛠️ The important part: Snaking the line may clear the immediate blockage, but it doesn't necessarily solve the underlying problem. If roots have gotten into the pipe, the condition of the line should be evaluated to determine whether it needs root cutting, hydro jetting, or a permanent repair.

At FlowGeeks Plumbing, we don't just clear the clog—we look at why it happened so you can make an informed decision about the next step.

🚨 This tiny pinhole leak is all it takes. 🚨

This small hole in a piece of PEX pipe may not look like much, but it can lead to thousands of dollars in water damage if it goes unnoticed.

Many leaks start small and remain hidden behind walls, under cabinets, or in crawl spaces until the damage becomes obvious. By then, you're not just paying for a plumbing repair—you could also be paying for drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and mold remediation.

That's why regular plumbing inspections are so valuable. Catching a small problem early can save you from a much bigger and more expensive one later.

🔧 Don't wait for a small leak to become a major repair.

Schedule a plumbing checkup with FlowGeeks Plumbing today and let us help protect your home before a hidden leak turns into a costly disaster.

A whole-home filtration system can also provide peace of mind by helping reduce unwanted contaminants and protecting your home's plumbing fixtures and appliances from the effects of the water flowing through your system.

Before & After Water Heater Correction — Safety Done Right

This job started with a water heater installed in a tight closet space that was not installed safely or correctly. The original installation had multiple serious issues — the vent hood was improperly crushed down onto the unit, and poly water piping was in direct contact with the flue pipe, creating a dangerous heat exposure condition.

This type of installation can lead to pipe damage, ventilation failure, and potential safety hazards if left uncorrected.

In the “after” photo, everything was rebuilt the right way. The vent system is now properly aligned and secured to ensure safe and correct exhaust flow. All water piping was corrected and repositioned to maintain proper clearance, including required separation from the flue. Even in a very tight closet space, the installation was brought up to safe, proper standards without cutting corners.

At FlowGeeks Plumbing, we correct unsafe installs the right way — not just replace parts. Every system is built for safety, code compliance, and long-term reliability.

If it’s not safe, it’s not finished.

Most homeowners never think about their thermal expansion tank — until it fails.

This small tank is an important safety device in most cases connected to your water heater. Its job is to absorb extra pressure created when water heats up and expands inside your plumbing system. Without it working properly, that pressure can stress pipes, fixtures, shut-off valves, and even your water heater itself.

The expansion tank in this photo has completely failed and filled with water, causing it to become extremely heavy and begin pulling down on the plumbing pipes. Left unchecked, this can lead to leaks, pipe damage, or even a major plumbing failure.

A properly working expansion tank should have an air charge inside it. One simple way to check it is by lightly tapping on the tank:
• The top should usually sound hollow
• The bottom may sound more solid
• If the entire tank sounds solid or feels extremely heavy, it may be waterlogged and failing

You can also check the air pressure with a tire gauge when the system is depressurized. Most residential systems are typically set around the home’s water pressure.

Expansion tanks are small but play a big role in protecting your plumbing system and water heater. If yours is leaking, rusting, sagging, or more than a few years old, it may be time to have it inspected.

Quick plumbing PSA every homeowner should know:

Do you know where your home’s main water shut off valve is?

If a pipe bursts, a water heater fails, or a supply line lets go, knowing where that valve is—and being able to shut it off quickly—can save you thousands in water damage.

I’ve seen small leaks turn into major repairs simply because no one knew how to stop the water fast enough.

Also pictured is your PRV (pressure reducing valve).

Its job is to control the water pressure coming into your home from the city supply. Too much pressure can wear out faucets, toilets, water heaters, appliances, and pipes faster than they should.

Signs your PRV may be failing:

High water pressure
Banging pipes
Dripping faucets
Running toilets
Water heater issues
Pressure that changes throughout the day

A healthy plumbing system starts with understanding the basics.

If you’re not sure where your main shut off is—or want your home’s pressure checked—Flowgeeks Plumbing is happy to help.

What does a UV water filtration system actually do?

A lot of homeowners focus on taste, smell, or hard water buildup—but many don’t think about what you can’t see.

A UV water system adds an extra layer of protection by neutralizing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms as water enters your home.

How it works:
Water passes through a chamber where it’s exposed to ultraviolet light. That UV light disrupts harmful microorganisms so they can no longer reproduce or spread.

What UV systems are great for:

Homes on well water
Added protection against bacteria
Peace of mind for families
Chemical-free water treatment

What UV systems do NOT do:

Remove sediment
Remove chlorine
Remove hard water minerals

That’s why UV systems often work best as part of a complete water treatment setup with sediment filtration, softening, or pH correction when needed.

Just because water looks clean doesn’t always mean it’s fully protected.

At Flowgeeks Plumbing, I help homeowners understand what their water needs—and just as importantly, what it doesn’t.

Is Your Water pH Where It Should Be?

Most homeowners never think about it—but the pH level of your water plays a big role in how your plumbing performs and how your water feels.

The good news?
You can check it yourself with a simple pool test kit from any hardware store.

What pH Means:

Low pH (acidic water)
High pH (alkaline water)
Ideal range for home water: ~6.5 – 8.5

Problems with LOW pH (Acidic Water):

Corrosion of pipes and fixtures
Blue/green staining in sinks and tubs
Metallic taste
Pinhole leaks over time

Problems with HIGH pH (Alkaline Water):

Scale buildup in pipes and water heaters
White spots on dishes and fixtures
Reduced efficiency of appliances
Soap doesn’t lather well

What to Look For:

Strange taste or smell
Staining in sinks or tubs
Buildup on faucets/shower heads
Plumbing issues that keep coming back

If something seems off, don’t ignore it. Water issues usually get worse (and more expensive) over time.

At Flowgeeks Plumbing, I can test your water, explain exactly what’s going on, and recommend the right fix—whether it’s filtration, neutralizing, or system upgrades.

Reach out if you want it checked the right way.
