Why Are My Pipes So Noisy?

- Have you recently noticing sudden bumping noises
or clinking and clanking sounds coming from the
walls? After hearing the disruptive noises,
figuring how to get it to stop is your top
priority. With a little help from Plumbing 911,
youll be able to diagnose the specific reason
for your noisy pipes and how you can fix it.

- High Water Pressure
- Increased water pressure can cause your pipes to
be extra noisy and can even cause damage to your
household appliances. To resolve this issue,
simply have a pressure regulator installed to
ensure the water to your home is being delivered
at a rate between 40 and 80 pounds per square
inch (PSI).
4
- Water Hammer
- A thudding noise known as water hammer happens
when running water suddenly turns off, putting
pressure on the shut-off valve. Since this can
damage the connection in the pipes, its
important to resolve this issue right away. The
simplest way to resolve the problem is to install
water hammer arrestor. These are small devices
that connect to the water pipes containing a
string-loaded shock absorber that diver the water
force.
5
- Copper Pipes
- Cooper is a malleable and ductile metal, which
means the copper pipes in your home will easily
expand as hot water passes through. As the heat
passes through and the pipes expand and contract,
the pipes can rub against the structure of your
home and other pipes, causing a disruptive noise.
By lowering the temperature setting on your water
heater, the issue should resolve quickly. If it
persists, give Plumbing 911 a call to assess the
issue!
6
- Loose Pipes
- Over time, pipes become loose from regular use
but as water moves rapidly through them in large
volume, the pipes can rattle and wobble. To
minimize movement, install insulation clips or
hangers to secure and stabilize the pipes.
