Banging pipes whenever a tap is turned on

Posted by Kavitha Prakash, on Wed 13 Sep 2017 12:04pm

The pipes make a very loud and continuous whirring noise every time there is a water flow. This includes turning on the taps, flushing the toilet, in the shower, using the washing machine and dishwasher. It even continues to whirr for a while, after the flow is switched off. I have had several plumbers come to the house and been told different root causes - water hammer, combination piping material (PVC vs copper?), pressure balancing. It is getting louder and I need someone to give me a complete solution, as I'm very worried that these pipes are going to explode.

There is no complete solution you have to start possibly with the cheapest option like checking any dripping taps or cisterns and then go along with loose pipes under floor boards etc etc etc Regards Jay Ub services Ltd Unique buying solutions
