I recently bought a house and have a problem with the hot water in my upstairs guest bathroom. When I turn on the hot water, it will flow normally for a second or two, then the flow will drastically reduce and a knocking sound occurs. When I turn off the water, the noise stops. I can then turn the hot water back on and the same think will occurr again. I was told it could be air in the pipes, but I'm not sure this is the case. Either way, I'm not sure how to remedy the problem. My main concern is that there is a leak and that there is no hot water for my guests in the sink. I also thought it was strange that it was only this sink and only the hot water. Any suggestions?
