Pride Plumbing was called out for to investigate the cause of a water stain on a ceiling. Our inspection found that the leak was coming from a water heater's TW Series thermal expansion tank. After gaining access into the ceiling, we cut out the old thermal expansion tank and installed a new HydraPro HPTET2 model; tying the expansion tank into the existing water supply line with new copper piping and fittings. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the water heater with a new 40-gallon electric model. This would include removing and disposing of the old water heater; installing water heater pads, the new water heater, new ball water shut-off valves, new PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater's water connections, a new brass drain valve, connecting the unit’s electrical connections, bleeding the air out of the water lines, ensuring that the unit was properly vented, and setting it to its appropriate operating temperature.
