"Justin is by far one of the top rated master plumbers in the whole state of Texas. He went out of his way to schedule my mom’s spigot and water line replacement and even replaced her other one without any extra charge. He looks out for his customers, as he sees his customers more along the lines of family. He provides a level of transparency unheard of in the plumbing industry. Quite honestly, he puts the older generations to shame, as he will always go above and beyond for his customers. I will always suggest and recommend Just-In-Time Plumbing Solutions to anyone who needs anything involved in plumbing. When I build my property, and when it’s time for an update on my mother’s house, he will be the only plumber I will put my trust and faith into his skill and ability"

"PR Documentation SF May 2nd, plumber Kody arrived around 14:30, and there was a noticeable odor of alcohol about him upon arrival. As a former Federal Law Enforcement Officer with 13 years of experience, I immediately recognized this. Kody arrived approximately one hour late for the scheduled time, explaining he had forgotten some necessary parts and had to leave to go to Home Depot to retrieve them. He eventually returned and completed all the plumbing work around 16:30, then informed me he was finished. Upon inspecting the completed work, it appeared to be done correctly. I then inquired about a reduction in the labor cost, as Kody was physically present and working for less than two hours in total. I was informed that I was still expected to pay the full quoted amount, as the estimate was now considered a flat rate. I was never informed that the estimate was a flat rate at the time I signed it. I offered to pay a fair amount for the actual time worked (2 hours of labor) plus the cost of the parts. Kody stated that his boss instructed him to leave the premises, and he subsequently did so. For your information, a quick internet search indicates that the average hourly labor fee for a plumber in this area typically ranges from $75 to $150 per hour. Additionally, in the state of Texas, Texas Penal Code 32.53 classifies the exploitation of a child, elderly individual, or disabled individual for monetary or personal gain as a third-degree felony. I am a service-connected disabled veteran and currently serve as the primary caregiver for my 94 year old mother, who resides with me in my home."

Water heater installations and replacements FAQs
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.
