Water Hammer Explained: Why Your Pipes Keep Banging

 

Water hammer is a pressure surge that travels through the pipework when water stops suddenly. The longer it continues, the more stress it places on valves, fittings, and pipe supports.

Check for:

✓ Banging or knocking inside the walls
✓ Pipes moving or vibrating
✓ Noise when appliances stop filling
✓ Drips forming around fittings or valves

The pressure behind it can loosen fittings and wear out components over time. If the banging is becoming more frequent, it is worth having the system inspected.
