Hearing strange plumbing noises around your home? Generally speaking, plumbing systems should work silently. When pipes begin to get noisy, it’s because they require attention. Think about it as if your pipes where crying for help, banging, hissing, and hammering away with that annoying racket. Sometimes, the noises are minor and don’t indicate a serious issue.
However, reaching out for professional plumbing advice is ALWAYS recommended when it comes to noisy plumbing systems. There are many possible causes behind the noise which will most likely require professional attention.

At Butler, there is no sound we haven’t heard! We are experts at installing air chambers and figuring out just where that odd sound is coming from. Air chambers ensure that water is not forced to change direction, which is why those noises are produced. Technically speaking, the air chamber serves as extra space for water to flow through. This means that your water-consuming appliances can then be safely used.

Wobbly pipes that are not securely strapped will move around and create friction that cause the pipes to bang against the surrounding wall. Trying to fix this on your own can be detrimental for your piping system overall. Using the wrong materials and methods can result in wearing away of the pipe, leading to sever leaks.

Typically, whistling and hissing is an indicator of valve issues. Sometimes water is forced to go through a narrower or obstructed pipe. This can be caused by dirt or corroded metal that has loosened within the water system which then flows into your homes’ plumbing system. In other words, minerals and sediments build up inside the pipes, narrowing the space for water flow down. When this obstruction becomes too big, the pipes need replacing. However, if the problem is new and not much sediments have built up, you can easily get your pipes cleaned.
