Howdy folks! When the toilet shuts off, I hear a fairly loud water = hammer now. Never had that happen before until recently and have not = had any plumbing work done. I did a little net research and see that = this could cause damage or leaks in the piping, so I'll have to get on = this one quick. But before I jump into it head first, I've gotten a lot = of good advice here and thought the great mind might have some tips.
A couple of questions -- since it just started, I'm wondering where the = air could have come from? I've tried running the water in all the = faucets high and low to try and bleed it but don't see much difference.
I've read that it could be on the downstream or upstream side of the = valve - do you know any way to tell? Sounds like there are different = things to try and I'd just as soon start with the most likely and = easiest ones first.
Some more info (pull up a chair, boys, LOL!!)... the toilet, sink & tub = all tee into the same line within a couple of feet of each other, but = only the toilet hammers. Also, in the other end of the house - about =
30 feet downstream of the toilet, the kitchen sink faucet hammers.Welp, that's my story. Any help or good guess much appreciated.
