"Exceptional Service from Kelsey Asrouch – Highly Recommended! We had the pleasure of working with Kelsey Asrouch, a plumber from Hart’s Services, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Kelsey installed three new toilets and cleared a stubborn clog in our kitchen sink air gap—and he did it all with incredible professionalism and skill. He arrived right on time, fully prepared, and walked us through everything he was going to do. His attention to detail was impressive, and he made sure everything was functioning perfectly before he wrapped up. On top of that, he left the work areas spotless—you’d never know a major plumbing job had just taken place. Kelsey was also courteous, respectful, and communicative, making the whole process smooth and stress-free.

"When I needed a major plumbing job I went to Green Planet Plumbing. I found their very impressive ad on the internet, and called for an estimate. Tyler Brown the owner came out and went over the job explaining what they would need to do, the time it would take, and the total cost. I was very impressed with the professional and friendly meeting with Tyler and decided to schedule the job. The day we set up Justin and Mike showed up introduced themselves and went to work. The first day they dug the trench to install a new waterline from the street to the house. The trench was about 40 feet long of very hard digging in rocky ground, and they to my amazement completed it that day. They laid the new pipe the next day, called for the city inspector to come out, and finished the job the next day. My wife and I were very impressed with Justin and Mike and enjoyed talking and spending time with them. I would not hesitate to call Green Planet for my next plumbing job, and will recommend them whenever I can. John Held"

"This was a simple hose leak under kitchen sink. Plumber made an appointment on Saturday between 10 and 12 and did not show up on time, without giving notice. After calls from me, he eventually made it in over an hour late. At that point, he did not do anything - he said he needed to custom order a sprayer hose and will call me Monday with pricing and to schedule. Today it's Friday, leak still going under sink, and still no call, despite messages left to him. My tenant is very irritated, and I am hiring someone else."

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.
