noise when tap turned off

Jan 11, 2012 7 Replies

When I turn the cold tap off it goes `clunk` one loud knocking noise, its recent as never used to do this.



Any thoughts on how to cure?


Airlock? Try turning on all the taps at once.

No, all the taps at once in the hope of letting the air out. That was what my plumber advised. Worth a try, I would suggest.

Water hammer? Is the tap fed from the rising main?

It will be the stopcock.

Exactly, hence the question about the rising main!

Okay, calm down and tell the OP how to fix it. New washer?
