Got Noisy Plumbing Lines? Here Are Some Solutions

Does your pipeline make unusual or bizarre noises? From banging pipes to whistling showerheads, and popping water heaters – these noises can be annoying and worrisome at the same time.

Annoying for obvious reasons, but worrisome because they indicate some serious plumbing problems that may be gradually worsening. Plumbing systems that run at peak efficiency never produce noises.

Here are some useful tips and solutions that will help alleviate the problem:

Problem # 1: Banging Pipes

Typically, all the water supply lines underground are metal. Thus, the noises and vibrations across your home. However, if you’re experiencing persistent and excessive banging, the reasons could be inadequately secured pipes or blocked pipelines. In case there is a blockage, you will have to get it removed to allow water to pass through seamlessly across the pipes without any noise. Instead of doing it on your own, it’s best to hire professional plumbers Germantown MD.

Problem # 2: Whistling Showerheads

A warbling sound coming from your showerheads is often a result of a blockage. The ultimate way to get rid of the sound and the blockage is removing the showerhead and eliminating the buildup that is producing noises. However, if the noise continues, it’s best to get a new showerhead.

Problem # 3: Popping Water Heater

A piercing, thumping noise from water heaters is a signal of residue buildup. When water heaters are not regularly maintained, limescale and other debris settle on the sides of the water tank and burner, creating a barrier when water is heated. Moreover, this buildup at the base of the water heater hampers the system’s efficiency. Consequently, it takes longer for water to heat, increasing energy bills.
