If you're after a plumber to go the extra mile and give you good service, then call us on 9023 3232 and we will send a plumber out to check your water supply, water flow, and air pressure and offer plumbing tips and water hammer solutions for you.

One solution to dealing with it, when it's known you have a water pressure supply that is high, is to install a pressure limiting valve to your house. This valve can be described as a pressure regulator. This reduced flow of a water supply line will be much kinder to your valves and pipes.

When you have water hammer issues you do not need to stop the flow of water. As irritating as the noise is, it's highly recommended to call a plumber to investigate and resolve the issue - especially if it's been happening for quite some time.

New taps unfortunately are not a water hammer fix. The hammering noise is happening in the water pipe. Whether it's an old house or a new house, that loud banging can happen at any time.

Water pressure plays a major role in the longevity of your pipeline, valves and drains. If you can control the pressure, you're reducing water hammer and all the effects it can have on your piping. Sometimes the hammering may be occurring... silently.

Water hammer occurs due to a hydraulic shock wave reverberating throughout the piping system. When a substance like water or gas travels through your pipes, it builds pressure. If the sound is coming from your washing machine, dishwasher, or even your taps and other appliances when in use... this will need to be assessed and addressed by a professional plumber to ensure you reduce your risk of damage to your plumbing.

Like everything, your plumbing needs regular and efficient service to ensure everything is operating correctly in your home.

Having noisy pipes is the result of a pressure build-up when there is an interruption to the flow of either water or gas within your pipe and plumbing system. When a valve is actioned and shut off, this can create a shock effect.

A water hammer arrestor might be an effective and quick solution. What is a water hammer arrestor? A water hammer arrestor essentially creates air chambers. This space allows the pressure that's built up to release within the air chambers instead of the water coming to a sudden stop, resulting in shocks and bangs. These nifty air pockets work wonders.

Do you often hear banging in your walls? Does this occur when you either turn your plumbing on or off? Whether you're using hot water or cold. If you're familiar with the loud sound of noisy pipes, keep on reading.

This is the same thing as a pressure limiting valve. When applied to your pipes it ensures that there isn't a sudden pressure surge meaning less pressure will be on your expansion joints limiting the likelihood of water hammer in your home or workplace.

The increased water pressure that may flow, will have a larger shock wave when a valve is used in the house. Water valves are not indestructible. When you're hearing a noise from your piping systems, it's time to seek solutions and be proactive.
