Pipe noises range from loud hammering sounds to high-pitched squeaks. The causes may be loose pipes, water logged air chambers, or water pressure that's too high. Anchoring exposed pipes is a simple solution but may only solve the problem temporarily. Let one of our trained professionals give you a free no obligation estimate to ensure a permanent remedy to this situation.  

Banging

Pipes are usually anchored with pipe straps every 6 to 8 feet for horizontal runs, 8 to 10 feet for vertical.

If your pipes bang when you turn on the water, you may need to add straps, cushion the pipes with a rubber blanket, or both. Contact us for a free estimate and determine once and for all if that banging sound can be eliminated buy our professionals for an extremely affordable price.

Squeaking

Only hot water pipes squeak. As the pipe expands, it moves in its strap, and friction causes the squeak. One of our trained professionals can come to your home and give you a free consultation ensuring that you know the best and most affordable solution for your plumbing problem.

Water Hammer

This noise occurs when you turn off the water at a faucet or an appliance quickly. The water flowing through the pipes slams to a stop, causing a hammering noise. This too can be dealt with by our staff.

Thawing Frozen Pipes

If a pipe freezes:Shut off the water at the main shutoff valve and open the faucet nearest to the frozen pipe so it can drain as it thaws.

Waterproof the area with containers and plastic drop clothes in case leaks occur.

Use one of the following methods to gradually warm the frozen pipe. Be sure to work from the faucet toward the iced-up area.

Propane Torch With a flame-spreading-nozzle, the torch will quickly thaw a frozen pipe.

Safety Tip Shield flammable areas with a fireproof sheet, don't let the pipe get too hot to touch.

Hair Dryer Used like the torch, a dryer will gently defrost the pipe.

Heating Pad Wrap a length of pipe with a heating pad.

Heat Lamp For pipes behind walls, floors, or ceilings, beam a heat lamp 8 or more inches from the surface.

Hot Water If no other method is available, wrap the pipe (except plastic) in rags and pour boiling water on it.
