I Hear a Banging Noise in My Pipes. What Does it Mean?
A banging noise in your pipes, often referred to as “water hammer,” is a common plumbing issue that can be quite alarming. It’s usually caused by a sudden change in water pressure, such as when a valve is closed quickly. The rapid change in pressure creates a shock wave that travels through the pipes, causing them to vibrate and bang against the surrounding walls or framing.
While occasional and minor water hammer might not be a cause for immediate concern, persistent or loud banging can indicate a more serious problem, such as a faulty pressure regulator or loose pipes. In some cases, water hammer can damage pipes, fittings, and appliances. If you’re experiencing frequent or loud banging noises in your pipes, it’s best to consult a plumber to diagnose and fix the issue.
What is the Best Way to Deal With a Toilet Clog?
A clogged toilet is a common and unpleasant plumbing problem. The first and often most effective method is to use a plunger. However, it’s important to use the right type of plunger. A flange plunger, which has a flap that creates a better seal, is more effective for toilets than a cup plunger. Make sure you have a good seal around the toilet drain opening and plunge vigorously for several minutes.
If the plunger doesn’t clear the clog, you can try using a toilet auger, also known as a snake. A toilet auger is a flexible tool that you insert into the toilet drain to break up or retrieve the clog. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners in toilets as they can damage the wax seal at the base of the toilet and other components. If these methods fail, it’s best to call a plumber.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sump Pump and When Do I Need One?
A sump pump is a device installed in a sump pit (a waterproofed hole in the basement floor) to remove groundwater that has accumulated.
You may need a sump pump if:
- Your basement experiences frequent flooding or dampness.
- You live in an area with a high water table.
- Your home is located in a low-lying area.
- You’ve experienced past flooding issues.
How Can I Reduce Water Waste in My Home?
Here are some simple yet effective ways to conserve water:
- Install low-flow fixtures: Upgrade to low-flow showerheads, faucets, and toilets to significantly reduce water consumption.
- Fix leaks promptly: A dripping faucet or running toilet can waste a surprising amount of water over time.
- Take shorter showers: Every minute saved in the shower can make a difference.
- Run full loads of laundry and dishes: Avoid running small loads in your washing machine and dishwasher.
- Water your lawn efficiently: Water your lawn during the cooler parts of the day to minimize evaporation.
- Collect rainwater: Use rainwater to water your garden or plants.
What are the Signs of a Failing Water Heater?
Besides those mentioned earlier, here are additional signs:
- Lukewarm water: If your water isn’t getting hot enough, it could indicate a problem with the heating element or thermostat.
- Rust or sediment in the water: This can be a sign of corrosion or sediment buildup inside the tank.
- Loud noises: Unusual noises like rumbling, banging, or popping sounds can indicate a problem with the heating element or internal components.
- Leaks around the base of the tank: This is a serious issue that requires immediate attention to prevent further damage.
What is the Best Time of Year to Schedule Plumbing Maintenance?
While plumbing maintenance can be beneficial year-round, it’s particularly important during the following times:
- Before winter: Inspect and insulate pipes to prevent freezing during cold weather.
- Before summer: Check for leaks in your irrigation system and ensure your sump pump is functioning properly.
- Fall: Schedule a professional inspection to identify and address any potential issues before the colder months.
