Reasons for Noisy Pipes

Noisy pipes could be the result of several different issues. Thankfully, different uses mean there is more than one option to solve the problem. The noises you are experiencing could be the result of loose pipes, water pressure problems, or fast-closing valves.

• Loose pipes – Rattling noises are often indicative of loose pipes. Loose pipes often are a quick-fix: they simply need to be re-secured into their framing with pipe clips. This can be done by accessing the pipes via an access area or an area where pipes are exposed ( ex: the garage or basement). Otherwise, a small hole through a wall or ceiling might have to be made.
• Water pressure problems – If water pressure is too high, it can cause pipes to vibrate. It also causes permanent damage to your pipes and appliances over time. Refer to our article on water pressure for solutions to this problem.
• Fast-closing valves – This is a common phenomenon also known as a “water hammer” (because of the banging noise it makes). A common solution to this problem is replace your fill valves with slow-shutting fill valves, which also will encourage less water use, thereby saving you money on your monthly water bill.
