Noisy Pipes Could Be the Answer To Those Scary Sounds!
It seems like things get a little spookier this time of year. Any small and unexplained sounds in a house might get brushed off any other time of year, but in October, they can be enough to cause a fright! Luckily, plumbers aren’t afraid of a few unexplained plumbing sounds. They have the knowledge and experience to know what causes such sounds and how to fix them before homeowners see really scary problems occur in the home. Sometimes water line services are the answer to all of the homeowners’ problems. Below is more information on what causes those scary sounds in the walls and possible solutions to the problem. Continue reading to learn all about them.
Humming That Taunts Homeowners in the Night
Humming in the walls might not be that noticeable throughout the day because many households tend to be louder when everyone is moving around. That is why many homeowners will first notice the humming at night when they are trying to fall asleep. This can be very scary for something that isn’t sure what the noise is, especially around Halloween when things tend to be scarier in general.
Typically, the humming in the walls is because the home’s water pressure is too high. When this happens, the pipes will vibrate and produce a humming sound. The sound might seem harmless because it doesn’t tend to be very loud but can lead to an emergency in no time. When homeowners experience noisy pipes, and the problem isn’t fixed right away, it can lead to burst pipes.
It’s always best to call a professional as soon as the noises are noticed.
Whistling: Is It the Wind or the Pipes?
Some of the things that cause pipe whistling are:
- Plumbing components that are worn out
- Mineral build-up within the pipes
- Dirty, clogged, or worn-out piping system
Essentially, the whistling occurs when there isn’t a wide enough opening within the pipes for the water to get through.
Depending on how bad the pipes are, the homeowners might have to consider repiping the home. If professional pipe cleaning doesn’t get the job done and adjust the water pressure, it could be time to invest in new pipes.
Water Hammer Is Enough To Scare Anyone!
Water hammer is a very serious plumbing problem that homeowners should tailor to right away. It often results from a pump shutting down or a valve not being opened all the way. As a result, the water pressure within the plumbing system rises and falls rapidly.
The constant and drastic change in the water pressure leads to the hammering noise the homeowner hears. It can also lead to several dangerous other situations. When the plumbing system starts banging around, it’s time to call a professional plumbing service to potentially have repiping done. At the very least, they will clean out the system and repair a few pipes.
