Faucet Installs and Expansion Tanks: Keeping Your Home’s Water Working Smoothly

At Raptor Plumbing, we help neighbors in Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and Lake Clarke Shores enjoy reliable, efficient plumbing every day. Whether you need a fresh faucet install or an expansion tank install for your water heater, our licensed team delivers clean, code-compliant work throughout both Palm Beach and Broward counties.

A new faucet can update your kitchen or bath, save water, and stop small leaks from turning into big headaches. If your current faucet drips, has corroded handles, low flow even after cleaning the aerator, or wobbles on the sink deck, it’s time to consider replacement.

• Professional faucet install benefits:
  • Secure mounting with proper sealing to prevent leaks under the sink
  • New supply lines and shutoff valves as needed for reliability
  • Correct alignment, smooth handle action, and full flow rate
  • Clean, tidy finish with escutcheons and caulk where appropriate

What to expect from a Raptor Plumbing faucet installation:

• We protect your workspace, shut off water, and remove the old fixture
• We inspect valves and replace worn parts to avoid future leaks
• We install manufacturer-approved hoses and gaskets for a perfect fit
• We test for drips, adjust temperature limits, and verify smooth operation

Why an Expansion Tank Install Matters

Modern homes often have backflow prevention or check valves that trap pressure when your water heater warms up. As water heats, it expands and can push pressure above safe limits. An expansion tank gives that expanding water a safe place to go, protecting fixtures, extending water heater life, and helping maintain stable water pressure.

• Signs you could benefit from an expansion tank:
  • Intermittent dripping from the water heater’s relief valve
  • Banging or knocking pipes when hot water is used
  • Frequent faucet or toilet fill-valve wear
  • Noticeable pressure swings throughout the day

How Raptor Plumbing installs your expansion tank:

• We measure your home’s water pressure and water heater capacity to size the tank correctly
• We pre-charge the tank’s air bladder to match your home’s PSI for proper function
• We mount and support the tank securely, then connect it on the cold-water line near the heater
• We place and secure any exposed piping neatly along the framing within the wall or adjacent mechanical area—never on the exterior of finished walls
• We test and document performance so you have peace of mind

Prep tips before we arrive:

• Clear space under sinks or around the water heater
• Know where your main water shutoff is located
• Share any warranty or prior install paperwork if available
