I have 15 year old house with city water. I just started to hear
pipes
bang "Water Hammer" I am not sure if this was coming before or just
came to my attention. I moved in this house about a year ago. I have
replaced every single fill valve in all the toilets. No matter which
faucet I turn on the noise is always there. It comes when any water
is
turned on including dishwasher, washer, toilet shower or any other
faucet in the house. I don't want to install water arrestor all over
my house. This happens on both hot and cold water. I have read
multiple articles on the website and tried variuos things including
flusing out the entire system by shuting main valve and then closing
all facuet starting from basement. By the way the basement is
finished
and looks like all pipes are nicely secured & anchored. Any help or
suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

The noise comes when we close the faucet and it loud ban

Thanks

All you need is a water hammer suppressor. I happen to have one. Fifty
bucks and it's yours. Money in small unmarked bills, please.

Or, your own water hammer supressors can be made by you. All it involves is
installing a vertical piece of water pipe/copper tubing/PVC/whatever into
your existing lines at one or more places in your house. The highest point
is a good starting place, and if it doesn't solve the problem, add them on
lower floors/points. They can be installed by simply cutting the lines and
installing compression fittings or glue in PVC. All they are is a vertical
of at least a foot with a cap on top. Air accumulates over the time, or the
process can be speeded up by turning off the house water, opening the lines
for a couple of minutes, closing the faucets, and turning on the water. The
air can never escape.

When a shock of water hits the vertical column of air, the air compresses,
taking the hammer noise out.

If you don't want the water hammer supressor that I am selling, could you
send me fifty bucks anyway for giving you the solution?

I think this will work for "watter", too.
