If you press the air valve on the expansion tank does water come out of it?

If the answer is yes than the bladder is broken and the tank requires replacing.

If not the expansion tank can be recharged with a bike pump. With the water off and faucet open to bleed off the pressure pump up the air bladder to the operating pressure of your system.
