Noisy Pipe

Noisy pipes can make living around a plumbing system very annoying. Sometimes the pipes bang, sometimes pipes squeak, and some-times pipes chatter. This condition can be so severe that living with the pipes noise is almost unbearable. What causes noisy pipes? Water hammer is one reason pipes play their unfavorable tunes, but it is not the only reason.
Not all pipe noises are the same. The type of pipe noise you hear gives a strong indication to the type of action that will be required to repair the pipe problem. You must listen closely to the pipe sounds being made in order to diagnose the problems properly.
What will you be listening for? The tone and type of pipes noise being made will be all that you may have to go on in repairing the problem of a water hammer. Let's look at the various pipes noises individually and see what they mean and how you can repair the pipe problem.
Water hammer
Water hammer is the most common cause of noisy pipes in a water distribution system. Banging pipes are a sure sign of water hammer. Can water hammer be stopped? Yes; there are ways to eliminate the and effects of water hammer, but implementing the pipe repair not always easy.
What causes water hammer? Water hammer occurs most often with quick-closing valves, like ball clocks and washing-machine valves, but it can be a problem with other fixtures. The condition can be worsened when the water distribution pipes are installed with long, straight runs. When the water is shut off quickly, it bangs into the pipe fittings at the end of the pipe run or at the fixture and produce the hammering and banging pipe noise. The shock wave can produce some loud pipe noises.
Banging
If a plumbing system is under higher than average pressure, it can be more likely to suffer from water hammer. There are several ways to approach the pipe problem to eliminate the banging. To illustrate these options, I would like to put the problems into the form of real-world situations. I plan to share my past experiences with you in an entertaining and informative way.
Unsecured pipes
Unsecured pipes are prime targets when you are having a noise problem. If the pipes that make up the water distribution system are not secured properly, pipes are likely to vibrate and make all sorts of pipes noise. Not only is this annoying to the ears, it can be damaging to the pipes. Pipes that are not secure in their hangers can vibrate to the point that they wear holes in themselves. If enough stress is present, the connection joints may even be broken.
Local plumbing codes dictate how far apart the hangers for pipe may be. If the pipes hangers fall within the guidelines of the local code and secure the pipes tightly, no pipe problems should exist. However, when the hangers are farther apart than they should be, is the wrong pipe size or are not attached firmly, pipes trouble can develop.
Pipes that are not secured in the manner described by the plumbing code may create loud banging sounds. This pipes noise imitates the noise made by a system that is experiencing a water hammer. Pipes squeaking and chattering noises may also be present when pipes are not secured properly.
The problem of poorly secured pipes is easy to fix, if you have access the pipes. Unfortunately, the pipes and their hangers are often concealed by finished walls. Sometimes the problem pipes can be accessed in basements or crawlspaces, but as often as not, they are Inaccessible, unless walls and ceilings are destroyed.
Once you have access to the pipes that are not secured in the proper fashion, all you have to do is add hangers or tighten the existing hangers. This is fine if you can get to the pipes easily, but it is a hard-sell to a homeowner who doesn't want the walls and ceilings of a home cut open. There is, however, no other way to eradicate the pipe problem.
