Expansion Tank Installation in Cherokee County, GA

Your home needs an expansion tank if it has a closed plumbing system, such as one with a backflow prevention device or a pressure-reducing valve. Many Cherokee County homes with updated water meters or newer plumbing already qualify.

Without an expansion tank, excess pressure can damage your water heater, burst pipe fittings, and wear out appliances faster. It can also put your home out of compliance with Georgia Plumbing Code.

Yes, we install expansion tanks as part of water heater replacements and as standalone installations for existing systems in Cherokee County.

The tank mounts on the cold water supply line near your water heater. It must be bracketed or braced to meet Georgia Plumbing Code, not supported by the pipe alone.

Signs of a failed expansion tank include fluctuating water pressure, a T&P relief valve that drips or discharges repeatedly, and knocking sounds in your pipes. Contact MHR Water Heaters and Plumbing for an inspection.

No, they are two different components. Georgia Plumbing Code is clear that a T&P relief valve cannot be used to control thermal expansion in Cherokee County homes with closed systems.
