The house is quiet, the moon is full, and you hear a loud banging, clanging, rumbling, or thud. Knock, knock… it’s your plumbing acting spooky!
The certified plumbers at Ready & Able want you to know that a few spooky noises in your Harrisburg, PA home may not be anything to fear. There are several plumbing noises that can occur, all with reasonable, non-ghostly explanations. Below are two of the most common plumbing noises that our Harrisburg, PA plumbing company comes across and what you can do about them.
Pop Goes the Water Heater
Over time, sediment can build up at the bottom of your water heater tank. When this sediment is heated up, the moisture within this buildup turns into steam and bursts into the surrounding water. This occurrence is what creates a rumbling or popping sound in your water heater. If the buildup of sediment isn’t removed, your water heater could corrode, and its lifespan will be decreased. The plumbing contractors at Ready & Able Plumbing can flush out your water heater and remove the buildup, which will not only get rid of the unwanted noises, but also improve your water heater’s efficiency and lengthen its lifespan.
The House-Haunting Water Hammer
When you run water in your home, whether it is from a sink, bathtub, or washing machine, high-pressured water is rushing through your plumbing pipes. When you turn the water off, this rush of water is brought to an abrupt stop, creating a shockwave and a hammering noise. A water hammer is a plumbing issue that must be taken care of. The pressure within your pipes could cause your pipe fittings to fail or a pipe to burst. The water hammer may be able to be repaired by simply turning off the water and draining the faucet that causes the water hammer noise, so that a cushion of air can be restored within the chamber, relieving the pressure. However, if this doesn’t help, you may want to have a certified plumber from Ready & Able Plumbing install a pressure-reducing valve or an air chamber to prevent the water hammer.
If you have spooky or just plain annoying plumbing noises in your Harrisburg, PA home or business, Ready & Able Plumbing is here to help.
