Water Pipes

May 07, 2007 3 Replies

We've lived in this house 16 years and lately a loud noise has started coming from the water pipes. It doesn't happen every time the water is turned on - just sometimes. The worst and loudest groan comes when the outdoor faucet on one end of the house is turned on. Next is when the dishwasher is running, that's opposite side of the house. What would cause this?



lose pipe or bad washer.

do you have a basement, no matter try to narrow down where the noise is coming from

contact a plumber and have them place some buffers in line with the suspected sections of pipes.

I had a similar problem. I found that all the the pipe supports had pulled out in the basement drop ceiling.

Your problem might be different.
