Do a search here for "Expansion tank" and you will find much discussion on this problem.

Evidently the valves pop out because of high water pressure in the system. This is caused by a faulty expansion tank which is located usually above the water heater. (look for the small upside down tank)

This is a plumbers job to fix.
