What makes pipes shudder




















While many causes exist, there are a few that crop up again and again in noisy pipes and plumbing systems that are worth being aware of. A water hammer happens whenever your faucet or valve is promptly closed off. All that water that had been moving down to the exit point contains a lot of energy and momentum, so when it hits the closed-off valve point, it makes an incredibly loud banging sound. Many times, a plumber will simply install a water hammer arrestor with a spring-loaded shock absorber in the appropriate pipe position.

A different source of banging noises is trapped oxygen in the air chamber. Air can actually get stopped up in pipes as a result of water line problems. If the banging in your pipes happens because of trapped air, then these sounds usually start immediately as a faucet is turned on, though you might hear a bubbling noise, too, as the air moves up and out. The work was excellent and I am very satisfied.

When your water pressure is too high for the system's capacity, it can leave your pipes vibrating.

This vibration may result in a humming noise, especially when the water is running. Overly high water pressure can occur in any home, but is particularly common in homes that rely on well water. If you have a well, check the pressure at the tank. Generally, this setting should be no higher than 55 pounds per square inch. If you do not have access to a reading of your water pressure, have a professional test the pressure and make adjustments to eliminate any humming noises.

When your pipes have difficulty draining, they may protest with a distinct glugging or gurgling sound.

Usually this noise indicates the presence of an obstruction in the pipes. This obstruction may consist of an item that accidentally washed down the drain, built-up soap scum or other debris, or mineral and hard water deposits on the sides of the pipes. A professional drain cleaning takes care of pipe obstructions and, by extension, most gurgling or sucking noises. Your pipes travel mostly behind walls, ceilings, and floors. Pipes that hang suspended must be securely fastened.

It only lasted a few seconds. Over the next few weeks it got worse and would go on for seconds. Then it seemed to ease up no more vibrations, shorter duration and not occur every time I turn the faucet on, but it never did go away. Should I be worried about this? Is there any way to fix it?
