Keep Your Home Safe With an Expansion Tank

Your water heater operates under a lot of pressure, and an expansion tank protects it when that pressure exceeds certain limits. Without a sturdy, reliable expansion tank, your home is at risk.

Speedy Expansion Tank Installation and Repair

Expansion tanks are small tanks used to protect your water heater from excessive pressure. Thermal expansion occurs during the process of heating water. The expansion tank is responsible for taking excess pressure from the hot water tank. The expansion tank is partially filled with air. The other part of the tank is filled with water from the hot water tank.

The tank is divided with diaphragms made from rubber. When the heating system is low on water, the diaphragm is pushed against the water inlet and as the water pressure rises from being filled, the expansion tank fills the upper portion with air. A car-type valve takes measurements automatically and keeps your hot water heater from becoming dangerously over-expanded.

Your expansion tank will be installed properly between the heater's water valve and the heater. We offer various size expansion tanks. The size of the tank needed is based on the degrees at which the water heater is set and gallon capacity, which in turn increases the pressure output of your water heater.

Larger water heaters require higher capacity tanks up to an inlet pressure of up to 80 PSI. The expansion tank is protection for your water heater. It takes the unnecessary pressure away from the pipes in your water heater.

A well tank helps you maintain water pressure and quality in your home's water system. You can rely on the certified experts at Allstate Plumbing & Heating for comprehensive service, repairs and installation for all types of well tanks. 

Well tanks are essential components in a well. They keep water pumped from the well under pressure and ready to use in your home. Well tanks are built from steel or fiberglass, often with plastic diaphragms inside to keep water tasting fresh and clean. The upper part of the tank is for pressurized air.

This forces well water for on-demand use into the house. The pressure is created when a well tank fills with water. Pressure continues to build until a certain limit is reached, then shuts off automatically when the ideal pressure is reached.

The first bit of water in the well tank is the first used when showers and faucets are turned on. The pump does not immediately turn on, using reserved water in the tank first. Well pumps are used to distribute water from the well into your well tank. Often, the well tank is found in the basement of your home.

When water pressure is decreased, the tank facilitates the pumping of more water from your well pump. This ensures water is available when you need it.

Drawdown time is the time it takes for a well tank to deliver water before the water pump is needed. Drawdown times increase with larger tanks. The larger the reservoir at the bottom, the less time a pump is turned on to pump water. This reduces wear and tear on the pump. The usual time it takes for a well pump to fill up the well tank is about a minute.
