"I had a plumbing leak since February 2024 whereas the leak was coming from my bathroom shower leaking into my kitchen, when I immediately contacted my home warranty American Shield, they never provided me with a Plumbing contractor. From February 22, 2024 until March 24, 2024, I continued to have leakage. American Home Shield then told me they had no contractors to assist me with my plumbing issues and therefore wanted me to identify a Plumbing contractor and then submit the diagnosis to them for review and approval. I then identified Royal Class Service and they diagnosed the leakage as a Shower Valve Replacement whereas they would need to open drywall from the closet to gain access for repair. The estimate from Royal Class was over $2,000.00. American Home Sheild then sent PROSERVICE HVAC & PLUMBING for a second option located in Connecticut. They stated that Royal Class inflated the cost repair and this Pro-Service Company was supposed now take over the repairs. I waited three more weeks because when I called Pro-Service requesting a date for repair they continuously told me they are waiting for valve they ordered from Home Depot. They are the worse!!! I'm Disabled and was out of my shower usage for three months. Well on a Thursday of early May, I happen to see Neighborhood Plumbing truck and contacted Anthony (contractor). Anthony came to home so professional and concerned to assist me with the well overdue plumbing issue and Neighborhood Plumbing repaired this in less than two hours at a price that was extremely fair and far more less than Royal Class quoted and five star professional than American Home Sheild and Pro-Service located in Connecticut. Please don't get taken by these companies. Anthony could have attempted to inflate his prices and robbed me like Royal Class attempted or he could have never come back to repair just as Pro-Service did. But, Neighborhood Plumbing does not have professional integrity they get the job done at a cost that's not ROBBERY! I had a horrible experience with these former companies and I urge you to seek out Neighborhood Plumbing if you need Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Services. Thank you Neighborhood Plumbing,"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kevin at Total Plumbing is the absolute best! Our Navien combo system was acting up, and another company (T Webber) told us it needed to be replaced entirely—for $7,000—even though it was still under warranty and this fee was just for their labor! Thankfully, we called Kevin for a second opinion, and we’re so glad we did! Kevin quickly identified the real issue and assured us the unit didn’t need to be replaced, just repaired with a few new parts.

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.
