What Does a Well Expansion Tank Do?
A well expansion tank stores pressurized water and prevents your well pump from turning on every time you open a tap.
Without a properly working expansion tank, your pump will short-cycle, electrical components will fail,
and water pressure will fluctuate throughout the home.
A properly installed expansion tank:
- Protects your well pump
- Maintains steady water pressure
- Reduces energy consumption
- Extends the lifespan of your well system
Signs You Need Expansion Tank Service
- Well pump turning on and off rapidly
- Water pressure jumping high then dropping
- Banging or water hammer noises
- Waterlogged or rusted tank
- Pump running when no water is being used
- Repeated pressure switch or pump failures
Ignoring these warning signs often leads to complete pump burnout and expensive emergency repairs.
Proper Expansion Tank Sizing Matters
Installing the wrong size expansion tank is one of the most common causes of short cycling.
Proper sizing depends on:
- Pump horsepower
- Gallons per minute (GPM)
- Household water demand
- Pressure switch settings
We calculate and install the correct tank size — not what’s convenient or cheapest.
Expansion Tank Repair vs Replacement
Some issues can be corrected by adjusting air charge. Others require full replacement.
We test:
- Air pressure
- Bladder integrity
- Corrosion and fittings
- Pump cycling behavior
If replacement is needed, we explain why and show you the data — no upselling.

Posted on Greg WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our sump pump & battery backup system failed last night at 1000pm After bailing water to prevent water damage to our basement for a 1/2 hour my spouse was able to find a 24/7 service company that will send an after hours technician to our residence I was surprised that companies that advertise 24/7 service when called will only schedule the service call for the next day PHD Plumbing took our after hours call and sent a technician within the hour Brandon arrived on site & replaced our sump pump I can not thank him enough for his excellent service & professional installation Not to mention the fact that if Brandon didn't show up last night our basement would have been flooded leaving us with a much bigger issue and associated cost Lastly, I would say that I was pleasantly surprised with the fair pricing for the work completed I would highly recommend PHD Plumbing for anyone needing future plumbing service or installationPosted on Caroline DownesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
