Guest hitoallusa Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 I have a problem called water hammering in my pipes at home and try to identify the source. Have you guys had experience with this? I have to find the sources of loose pipe leaks in my basement and crawl spaces so I'm afraid some bugs or rodents will attack me and ruin my shoes. They say seal the leak with plumber's tape but what happens if I can't reach the leak? If you guys don't hear from me for awhile consider something has happened to me. Where is my hubby for this kind of work!!! Quote
AdamSmith Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 hito, this is exactly why these exotic superheroes called plumbers get paid so much. Call one! Or accept the hard truth: Once your pipes get air in them and start hammering, the only real solution is to move. citylaw1 1 Quote

Members BigK Posted September 4, 2013 Members Posted September 4, 2013 Sometimes water pipes need strapping to keep them quiet. This is really a job for a professional. It's quite possible the offending pipes are inside finished walls. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks. I think I have located the leak and fixed the problem. Luckily the leak needed only a ladder to reach. Thank you for messaging me with pieces of advice too. Quote
