"This company was assigned to me through my home warranty company. They were supposed to contact me within 24hrs but waited 2 day. That Thursday, the woman I spoke with scheduled a plumber to come to my home on Monday afternoon and someone would call when the plumber was in route. This was the date I put in my phone and the date they sent to the home warranty company (confirmed by text). The next day, thereâ s an email saying they are scheduled to come on Wednesday afternoon. Ok fineâ ¦I stayed home all day Wednesday. At 3:00, I got a call saying that the plumber came by my house at 12:00 and no one answered the door. #1. No one called to say he was on the way. #2. You claim he came to the home and no one answered, but no one called then, either? #3. So youâ re calling me 3 hours later saying heâ s too far away? #4. I have a Ring doorbell and great security system with cameras that I can roll back to show that no one came to THIS house. She then went on to say it was the house, â With a Christmas wreath on the door.â On December 20th, 5 days before, Christmas, 80% of the houses in this neighborhood have a Christmas wreaths. Can you prove someone came here? Nope! No callâ ¦no showâ ¦ridiculous. The appointment was rescheduled for 12/27 from 10:30-1:30. I took off of work, a 3rd time, checked to make sure my doorbell worked, and sat in the living room, all day, where I could see if anyone came to the door. At 2:30 PM, no one has come. I called to get an update. No answer."

You'll need an expansion tank if your home has a closed water system, which is standard in newer homes or those with backflow preventers or pressure regulators. Expanding hot water has nowhere to go in closed systems, creating potentially damaging pressure. The expansion tank provides space for this expanded water, protecting your plumbing system and water heater from premature failure. Many local building codes now require expansion tanks, and some water heater warranties may be voided without one.
For a standard 50-gallon water heater, a two-gallon expansion tank is sufficient. This sizing assumes normal household water pressure between 40 and 60 psi. If your home has higher water pressure (60 to 80 psi), consider upgrading to a slightly larger tank for added protection. The expansion tank's purpose is to accommodate the increased volume that occurs when cold water heats up, which is proportional to your water heater's capacity.
Watch for signs like dripping water around the tank, fluctuating water pressure throughout your home, or unusual noises in your plumbing system. A properly functioning expansion tank should feel light when tapped on the bottom—if it feels heavy or waterlogged, the internal bladder has likely failed. Other indicators include frequent triggering of your temperature and pressure relief valve, visible corrosion on the tank, or unexplained increases in your water bill, suggesting hidden leaks.
Most expansion tanks have a service life of five to 10 years, though some may last up to 12 years or more with proper maintenance. Factors affecting lifespan include water quality, system pressure, installation quality, and tank construction. Hard water areas often see shorter lifespans due to mineral buildup. Regular maintenance checks can help identify potential issues before complete failure. When your water heater is due for replacement, it's wise to replace the expansion tank simultaneously, even if it hasn't failed yet.
A 30-gallon water heater needs an expansion tank if your home has a closed plumbing system. The need for an expansion tank is determined by your plumbing system type rather than water heater size. Even smaller water heaters create thermal expansion when heating water. If your home has a backflow preventer, pressure regulator, or check valve on the main water line, you have a closed system that requires an expansion tank. Check your local plumbing codes, as many jurisdictions now mandate expansion tanks regardless of water heater size.
