What is an Expansion Tank?
An expansion tank is a small device that is installed in your plumbing system to absorb excess pressure caused by water expansion when it is heated. When water is heated, it expands, and this pressure buildup can damage your pipes, fixtures, or water heater. An expansion tank ensures that the pressure is controlled and kept within safe levels.
Why is an Expansion Tank Important?
An expansion tank protects your plumbing system and prevents damage to your water heater, pipes, and fixtures. Without one, the increased pressure can cause premature failure of your plumbing, leading to expensive repairs or replacements. It also helps maintain the efficiency of your water heater and prevents costly water damage to your home.
Signs You Need an Expansion Tank
If you notice any of the following, you may need an expansion tank installed or replaced:
- Water Pressure Issues: If you notice fluctuations in your water pressure, it could indicate that your system is under too much pressure.
- Noisy Pipes: Water hammer or knocking pipes often happen when there is excess pressure in the system.
- Water Heater or Pipe Damage: Leaking pipes or water heaters can be signs of overpressure in your plumbing system.
- Frequent Valve Leaks: Excessive pressure can cause valve seals to fail, leading to leaks around faucets or shutoff valves.
