What Is an Expansion Tank?

An expansion tank is a small yet important part of your home’s plumbing system. It’s designed to absorb extra pressure when water is heated.

This helps keep your water heater and pipes safe from damage and ensures everything runs smoothly. Think of it as a cushion that keeps your system from getting too much pressure at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

The upper portion of the expansion tank contains air, which is set to a specific water pressure level. When the heated water expands, it enters the expansion tank, compressing the air in the upper compartment.

For most homes with standard water heaters, an expansion tank is essential to manage pressure changes as the water heats up. Tankless water heaters typically don’t require one, as they heat water on demand and don’t store it.

In homes with a closed plumbing system, where water can’t expand freely, an expansion tank helps prevent pressure buildup and protects your plumbing. Open systems generally don’t need one, as they allow water to expand naturally.

Without an expansion tank, pressure can build up in your pipes when water heats up, which could damage your water heater and plumbing. This can lead to leaks, broken pipes, or expensive repairs.
