Water Hammer

The most common cause of noisy pipes is due to a phenomenon called water hammer.

Water flows at high speed and force through the pipes and comes out from the faucets, but when you shut off the faucet, the flow stops abruptly.

The sudden stoppage generates some energy that remains trapped within the pipeline, which causes the rattling or banging noise known as a water hammer.

However, there is a 10 inches long vertical pipe soldered at the back of the faucet, which creates an air chamber that neutralizes the sound produced by the sudden closure of faucets.

But when the ait chamber starts malfunctioning, it creates a water hammer and the noise.

Loose Pipes

Pipelines running across homes, whether overground or underground, remain firmly in place with the help of brackets, hooks, and other fastening arrangements.

Secure fixing of pipes is necessary to ensure that it stays securely in place when water flows through it at some pressure.

However, over time the fixtures might loosen, and the pipes start swaying when water flows through it and cause some noise or peculiar sound.

Main Shut off Valve

If you hear a squealing sound resonating across the house, it may be due to malfunctioning in the main shut-off valve or some problem with the water pressure regulator.

To repair or replace the main shut-off valve, the plumber will first isolate it by shutting off the street valve and then repairing or replacing it.

Sometimes a pressure reducing valve placed in the incoming line can malfunction and produce a squealing noise.

Worn Out Washer

If you hear a whistling sound when operating the faucets, there are high chances that the washer inside the faucet is worn off and causing the noise.

The problem could also happen from the valves that connect the washing machine. Replacing the worn-out washer in the faucet is an easy and cheap way to fix the problem.

Check the washers in the hose by shutting off the valve. The valve seat could also pose a problem, and when checking the washer, checking the valve seat will help to detect the real cause of the problem.

Noise from Toilet Flushing

If you hear a loud banging sound after flushing the toilet, then the ball cock inside the cistern that controls the flow of water is malfunctioning and needs repair or replacement.

Only a plumber can tell accurately detect the cause of the problem and fix it.
