Water hammer

‘Water hammer’ refers to the banging noises which sometimes come from plumbing pipework, it's normally one or a series of banging noises coming from the pipework usually when a tap or valve is turned off.

 

It is usually caused in high pressure (i.e. mains pressure) water systems either when a tap is turned off quickly, or by fast-acting valves on appliances, which suddenly stop the water moving through the pipes and sets up a shock wave through the water which causes the pipes to vibrate and ‘shudder’.

 

‘Water hammer’ will be made worse by having worn valves and pipework inadequately supported.

 

Not only is the noise annoying, but it can lead to damage to joints (broken joints), so ‘water hammer’ must be cured rather than tolerated. Failure to stop water hammer will eventually cause a joint to loosen or break which could cause hundreds if not thousands of pounds worth of damage.

 

Give us a call ASAP...

 


Warning - find your water mains stop tap ASAP. Frozen pipes often burst when thawing which Axa says the damage costs an avg £25,000.00. Don't wait for an emergency, check now you know how to turn it off. If you go away, drain the water system or leave heating on a little each day.


Had a burst pipe/water leak and no insurance?

 

Give us a call; we can do all the necessary work for you in affordable stages.

 

Stage One:

Repair pipe/leak and get your water supply back on.

 

Stage two:

When you can afford it, we will return and make good any damage, again in affordable stages.

 

We will not rip you off. We will estimate how long each stage will take to put right. We will charge you £15.00 an hour (labour only) so you will know exactly how much each stage will cost you.

 

You can either supply the materials yourself, or we will supply them at cost (the price on the receipt) + £15.00 for time and transportation.
