What You Need to Know About Water Hammer
✔ Water hammer causes loud banging or knocking sounds in your pipes when water flow suddenly stops. If ignored, it can lead to damaged pipes, loose fittings, leaking joints, and expensive repairs.
​
✔ It can happen in any home — old or new — and is often triggered by high water pressure, quick-closing valves on washing machines and dishwashers, or unsecured pipes.
​
✔ Even mild water hammer can cause serious long-term damage. The repeated shockwaves loosen connections, wear out valves, and may eventually lead to burst pipes or major leaks.
​
✔ The longer you leave it, the worse it gets. Early fixing with proper water hammer arrestors prevents costly damage and restores quiet plumbing fast.
Pipes are designed to allow water to flow smoothly and quietly. When the flow is steady, you usually hear only a gentle rushing sound. Unfortunately, when that flow is suddenly interrupted — such as when you turn off a tap quickly, flush the toilet, or the washing machine cycle ends — it creates a powerful pressure shockwave. This results in loud banging, thumping, or even strong vibrations that can shake your entire house. This issue is known as water hammer.
​
Don’t let the banging continue. Left untreated, water hammer can loosen joints, damage valves, and lead to costly leaks or burst pipes.
