What is an Expansion Tank?
When water heats up, it increases in volume and pressure. In closed plumbing systems, that extra pressure has nowhere to go, which can strain pipes, fixtures, and the water heater itself. A thermal expansion tank works alongside your water heater to manage that natural expansion of water, using an air-filled bladder or diaphragm to create a cushion that keeps your plumbing system balanced and safe.
Benefits of Installing an Expansion Tank
Many homeowners in Central and Eastern PA count on expansion tanks for a range of benefits:
- Prevention of pressure buildup: An expansion tank absorbs expanding water, preventing pressure from spike inside your plumbing system.
- Reduced stress on pipes and fixtures: Stable pressure minimizes the risk of burst pipes and leaking connections.
- Improved system longevity: Consistent pressure reduces long-term strain on your plumbing components and prevents leaks and premature wear in your water heater tank.
- Maintaining consistent water pressure: Expansion tanks can limit fluctuations that affect water flow at your taps.

Signs You Need an Expansion Tank
Many homes can benefit from a water heater expansion tank, especially if you’ve noticed pressure-related issues. Watch for these warning signs:
- Fluctuating water pressure: Water flow at faucets or showers changes unexpectedly as system pressure rises and falls.
- High water pressure: A consistently high reading on a pressure gauge can signal excessive thermal expansion.
- Water heater leaks: Leaks around the tank or relief valve may result from pressure-related stress.
- Frequent dripping from the relief valve: This valve often opens to release pressure if no expansion tank is installed.
- Banging pipes: Sudden pressure changes can cause loud noises in your plumbing.
Types of Expansion Tanks We Install
Haller Enterprises installs a range of expansion tanks to suit different plumbing systems and water heaters, including:
- Standard thermal expansion tanks: These units are designed to handle expanding water from tank-style water heaters.
- Potable water expansion tanks: These models are safe for drinking water systems and are certified to meet health standards.
- Inline expansion tanks: Featuring compact designs, these units can be installed directly along the supply line in tight spaces.
- Hydronic system expansion tanks: Used in homes with closed-loop hydronic heating systems, these tanks manage expansion in the boiler loop.
Our Installation Process
Every installation starts with a detailed evaluation of your plumbing system and water heater, during which our certified technicians determine the correct tank size and placement. During installation, we safely connect the expansion tank to your water heater’s cold water supply line, pressurize the tank to match your system, and check all connections. We’ll then walk you through the setup, explain how it works, and answer any questions. You can expect courteous service and clear communication from start to finish.
Expansion Tank Maintenance & Inspection Services
Over time, the air bladder inside the expansion tank can lose pressure or wear out. Haller offers affordable home maintenance plans to keep all your essential home systems running smoothly.
Our certified technicians will check your expansion tank’s pressure, inspect for leaks or corrosion, and ensure your system is working as intended. If you ever suspect an issue, our Central PA plumbing experts are available 24/7 to assist you.
