Can anyone tell me how to tell if an expansion
tank is in working order and what are the symptoms if it is NOT working
properly?
Thank You

I assume the HWT ? You often find water on the floor from
a TPV. If no water and the TPV is stuck you can blow up the
house especially if you have a one way street valve.

That's what the Tank does, it takes the expanded water so
there is no more pressure than allowed on the line.

Check that TPV ! Its no joke.
