Water pipes going to explode?
wrote:
Hey all,
I've been in my house for 4 months, however it is 14 years old. I am
on municipal water, not a well.
After turning off the shower this morning, I noticed a rather loud
buzzing/moaning/vibrating noise coming from the pipes when I turned
off the shower and faucet. It made no noise when the water was
running, the water temp and pressure were fine, and I haven't noticed
this anywhere else in the house before. 10 minutes later I then
turned on the shower and then turned it off, and it made the noise
again. I then tried it again 5 minutes later, nothing.
Again, this has not happened before in the house. Could it just have
been air in the pipes, or something much more serious?
Thanks
John
It can be any of a number of issues, all of which are cheap. You can
smile now.
As noted water hammer, and valves going bad are the most common.
Sometimes the water pressure coming into the house is too high or a
regulator has failed allowing the interior pressure to be too high.
