"Aldrich, the SF Manager, is so great to work with. He is very patient and not at all pushy to buy from them, He works very hard to make the customer happy. When I decided to replace the water heater, it was quite late during the day. However, their team made sure to get the work done till the end. The following day, Aldrich followed up with an inspection to make sure there was no leak and that the heat level was good with the residents of the building. I will definitely recommend this company."

"Camilo and Luis are fantastic plumbers. I manage several vintage apartment properties and always use Camilo and Luis at Pinnacle Plumbing for our routine jobs such as faucet repair and replacements, clogged bathroom/kitchen drains, water heater and gas wall heater replacement. One of the biggest jobs that we had to do was a complete sewer pipe replacement underground of our large vintage Victorian building. This involved excavating through the foundation and under the sidewalks to repair and replace sewer pipes that connect to the City sewage laterals. Luis and Camilo did a wonderful job of not only making the replacements and repairs, but we’re very empathetic to not disturb the tenants, with a focus on safety and good customer experience. They coordinated the entire large project from getting the permits to supervising the other subcontractors who had to excavate through concrete and also replace the concrete upon the jobs conclusion. You’ll be in good hands with Pinnacle! 👍🏼"

FAQs for water heater installation and replacement projects in El Granada, CA
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.
