Sometimes, a water heater on its own isn’t enough. These systems create a lot of pressure when heating water, and an expansion tank may be needed to alleviate the pressure. That’s where we come in.
Andres Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning installs expansion tanks in Carbon County. We can discuss your water heater pressure issues and determine if an expansion tank is needed. If so, we’ll install one right away.

What is an Expansion Tank & How Does It Work?
Water heaters create a lot of pressure when heating water. When the pressure becomes too high, the system releases some of the pressure. However, many water heaters may not be able to release enough pressure to protect the system from damage.
An expansion tank can be attached to a water heater to allow for more pressure release. These units are attached to the outside of the water heater, making it easier for the system to avoid the damaging effects of water pressure.
An Expansion Tank May Be Mandatory
Some water heaters may require an expansion tank for pressure release. If your system has a pressure-limiting or backflow valve that keeps the system closed, adding a tank may be mandatory. Our team can install an expansion tank and a limiter if your system doesn’t have one right now.
Where Are Expansion Tanks Installed?
Expansion tanks are typically installed above the unit on the cold-water pipe leading into a water heater. Team Andreas installs these units quickly and easily for anyone who needs them.
We can make sure the expansion tank is connected correctly and operating properly before we call the job finished.
Signs Your Expansion Tank Should Be Replaced
Over time, expansion tanks can break down and need repairs or replacement. Working with a pro is important to ensure your expansion tank is working right. It may be time to replace your tank if:
- Your tank leaks from the valve connections.
- The tank makes odd sounds.
- You notice rust-colored water.
- Your water heater doesn’t heat well.
