Intermittently, although more and more frequently we hear a loud sound coming from the pipes after flushing. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know why it happens? Is it a signal of a potential problem?
Howeve,r I don't think it is a good thing for the pipes to be doing that. I am not positive but I think it has something to do with air pockets in the pipes.
Might even be a pressure problem, maybe. You could try emptying them first. Shut the water off to everything, run all the facets till they slow to a trickle, turn them off, and turn the water back on - then turn the facets on again. I can't be certain that would get rid of all the air in the pipes, but it wouldn't harm anything to try.
But yeah, it does seem to be trapped air in the pipes, we had that a couple of years ago and we had the plumber called out...had new taps fitted whilst he visited us too.
