At Mr. Rooter Plumbing every customer’s individual needs are important. Whether it’s a simple sink clog or a damaged sewer line, you can count on a Mr. Rooter plumber to take care of your plumbing needs day or night with never an overtime charge. Our professional service, quality products and honest, up-front pricing make Mr. Rooter the best value in plumbing services nationwide. Mr. Rooter is ready for all emergency plumbing issues, from clogged drains and sewage backups to frozen pipes and leaking water heaters. You can count on an expert diagnosis from Mr. Rooter with our camera inspection tools. Then we’ll fix it right the first time, whether it takes HydroScrub drain cleaning or trenchless pipe repair, with courteous smiles on our faces.
"This is going to be a bit long, but the situation warrants it. On Saturday, April 28th, I went into our basement and discovered the sewer backing up through our floor drain. I have never had to call a plumber before and clearly didn’t have time to research so I called the plumber closest to our home: Mr. Rooter. They said someone would be there within the hour and, mostly on time, someone showed up after an hour and a few minutes. Aaron H. was odd and bit off-putting but, whatever; there was poop in my basement. Aaron got his camera out and fairly quickly discovered that the previous owners (we’ve been there less than a year) had been flushing SOMETHING they shouldn’t have. My theory is Depends, but that’s a story for a different day. He says that he can’t push the clog through and we’ll have to schedule a different tech to come out with a different machine to blast it with high pressure water for $1000. Obviously, this wasn’t good news but so far, so good on the company’s part. Aaron gets a new cap for our pipe out of his truck and discovers that the new one doesn’t fit because the rim of the old had sort of rusted to the pipe and was stuck in there. He asked my husband for a hammer and chisel …what? That alarmed me slightly but I decided to remove myself from the situation because I’m not always the kindest under stress. I don’t know if my husband ended up giving him the tools or if he got something from his truck, but Aaron removed the stuck piece and let my husband know we were good to go. My husband went downstairs to check things out and … there was a hole in our pipe. It wasn’t leaking before, so it wasn’t there before, and it was right near the opening that Aaron had just been hacking away at, yet Aaron hemmed and hawed and didn’t want to take responsibility. First, he said that there was no way we could know that hole wasn’t there before (ummm … we had been down there all afternoon, staring at this pipe), then he said that when pipes get rusty, they get holes (right, but you slamming away it probably didn’t help). Aaron eventually offered up his boss’s cell number but was very nonchalant about the whole thing. Aaron left and my husband immediately called Mark, Aaron’s boss and the owner of this branch. Mark was a little wishy washy and uncaring too, but we tried to give him the benefit of the doubt; it was Saturday evening, he was home with his kids, and this wasn’t a call he wanted to get. Mark said he would come to our house on Monday, April 30th, which he did. Long story short on that end, Mark agreed to send someone out to fix the pipe and do their best to push the clog along without the water hose, mostly because they were going to have to cut into our drywall to get the machine into the basement. We set up our appointment for Wednesday, May 2nd, between 4p and 6p. At 5.30p, on May 2nd, we got a call that they were a bit behind but would be onsite within the hour. A little after 6.30p, I got a call that they were still behind but this time, they would DEFINITELY be onsite within the hour. Around 7.45p, I called to find out what was actually going on and they said the same thing: we’ll be there within the hour. At this point, I couldn’t wait until 9p for a plumber to show up (if they planned on showing up at all), so I rescheduled for Thursday, May 3rd. The first thing the tech, Nick, said on May 3rd was, “I’ve tried to get a hold of Mark a bunch of times, but he never answered or got back to me”. GREAT. I don’t know much about plumbing, but Mark had promised our pipe would be replaced with a Y pipe; Nick had not been told this and Nick would not do this. He went to the store and got whatever part he needed (shouldn’t that have been in his truck?) and got to work. He was able to push the clog through fairly easily, which I really appreciate, but also think is TOTAL bull, considering the THOUSAND DOLLAR LINE Aaron tried to feed us. He was also able to quickly replace our holey pipe with a new pipe, that was still not what we were promised by Mark. All in all, this was an already unfortunate circumstance, which we didn’t bring on ourselves, that was just exacerbated by Mr. Rooter. As much as I would like to give them big hurrahs for fixing our pipe, they broke it. And as grateful as I’d like to be that they could push the clog through without ripping a hole in our wall and charging us a thousand dollars, that was apparently a totally legit, normal, easy action that should have been done five days prior. 0/10, would not hire again."

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.
