Ever been startled by mysterious pipes that go bump in the night? As your trusted local plumbers at Wicker Plumbing, we're here to decode those peculiar plumbing sounds and share some entertaining (and useful!) insights about what's really happening in your pipes.
1. The Infamous 'Ghost Knock' 👻
You're alone at home, and suddenly... KNOCK KNOCK! Coming from your pipes. No, it's not a friendly ghost – it's actually a common phenomenon called water hammer. When water flow suddenly stops, the rushing water creates a hammering noise. While it might sound spooky, it's usually fixable with a simple water hammer arrestor.
2. The Gurgling Sink Monster 🌪️
Does your sink sound like it's having a conversation when draining? That chatty drain is actually crying out for help! Gurgling usually means your vent stack is clogged, causing air to bubble up through your drain. Think of it as your plumbing's way of gasping for air.
3. The Whistling Water Heater 🎵
If your water heater's performing a solo concert, it might be time for a tune-up. This high-pitched whistling often indicates mineral buildup or a problematic valve. As your local experts with over 40 years of experience, we can help your water heater get back to its quiet self.
4. The Basement Band 🎸
Hearing what sounds like a band practice in your basement? Those vibrating pipes might be improperly secured. Don't worry – our licensed professionals can help silence this unwanted concert with proper pipe strapping.
5. The Running Toilet Symphony 🚽
A running toilet isn't just wasting water – it's performing an endless symphony that's costing you money! This common issue typically has a simple fix, and as your neighborhood plumbing experts, we're here to help restore peace and quiet to your bathroom.
