    Water hammer  occurs due to a hydraulic shock wave reverberating throughout the piping system. When a substance like water or gas travels through your pipes, it builds pressure. If the sound is coming from your washing machine, dishwasher, or even your taps and other appliances when in use, this will need to be assessed and addressed by a professional plumber—perhaps even a Water Hammer Plumber near me—to ensure you reduce your risk of damage to your plumbing.


    Yes, it might seem like an annoyance, but it is more than that. It's your pipes letting you know there is a fault in the system and that fault needs to be rectified. An issue like this will not resolve itself. The tension will continue, until the pressure spikes and now you're dealing with a Sydney emergency plumbing situation that can not be left unattended. A water hammer problem requires immediate attention, solutions are needed in order to fix water hammer. Learn more on how to stop water hammer.

WHAT IS WATER HAMMER?

Water hammer is the intense build-up of pressure created inside your pipeline when a valve closes shut and the flow of water has nowhere to go. The reverberating force of the water suddenly stopping is the hammering you hear. 


The hydraulic shock may continue after the valve has been activated, with the water traveling back and forth in the pipework until the pressure has reduced. An efficient water system should not sound like a hammer might suddenly appear, bursting out of your walls. The flow should be smooth and without banging. If you’re dealing with this issue, consulting a Water Hammer Plumber Sydney could help restore the peace in your plumbing system.

When To Install -

Water Hammer Arrestor &

How Air Chambers Work?

A water hammer arrestor might be an effective and quick solution. What is a water hammer arrestor? A water hammer arrestor essentially creates air chambers. This space allows the pressure that's built up to release within the air chambers instead of the water coming to a sudden stop, resulting in shocks and bangs. These nifty air pockets work wonders.


When valves suddenly shut off the flow of water, the hydraulic shock needs to go somewhere. The air chamber in the water hammer arrestor provides a safe air space. It is simple to install water hammer arrestors with an air chamber, and that might just fix that pressure wave found in your systems.


Air chambers installed correctly by a licensed Water Hammer Plumber might assist in fixing water hammer and eliminating that all-too-familiar noise of bang, bang, bang when a valve is actioned.

Water Pressure and Water Hammer: Advice from a Water Hammer Plumber Near You

Homes that have a water supply in excess of 500kpa are at greater risk of hammering than homes that do not. High pressure on your plumbing systems stress the line. Working it harder, not smarter... just harder.


Water pressure plays a major role in the longevity of your pipeline, valves and drains. If you can control the pressure, you're reducing water hammer and all the effects it can have on your piping. Sometimes the hammering may be occurring... silently.


The increased water pressure that may flow, will have a larger shock wave when a valve is used in the house. Water valves are not indestructible. When you're hearing a noise from your piping systems, it's time to seek solutions and be proactive.


Our Water Hammer plumbers can test the pressure of your water supply line to determine the level of water pressure you're dealing with and if that might be the cause of your water hammer. Having a plumbing company that understands water hammer and all the possible solutions will save you and your hearing.


One solution to dealing with it, when it's known you have a water pressure supply that is high, is to install a pressure limiting valve to your house. This valve can be described as a pressure regulator. This reduced flow of a water supply line will be much kinder to your valves and pipes.

FAQs from Sydney's Water Hammer Plumbers Near You

  • WHAT CAUSES WATER HAMMER?

    Having noisy pipes is the result of a pressure build-up when there is an interruption to the flow of either water or gas within your pipe and plumbing system. When a valve is actioned and shut off, this can create a shock effect.  


    3 main areas you may need to assess are the following,


    • Faulty jumper valves
    • Pipes that have become unclipped or have loose clips 
    • High water pressure

  • HOW TO STOP WATER HAMMER?

    To stop the water hammer, Contact a Water Hammer Plumber at Network Plumbing. We can assess, investigate, and fix the plumbing problems in no time at all. 


    However, in the meantime, here are some plumbing tips. We've compiled our top 3 areas you may need to assess.


    1. Replace any faulty jumper valves
    2. Reconnect any loose clip attachments holding the water pipe
    3. Install arrestors with an air chamber where necessary 
    4. Installing a pressure limiting valve

  • CAN PIPES BURST FROM WATER HAMMER?

    Yes, pipes can burst from excessive exposure to water hammer. The force is real and will take a toll on the pipe in question. Water hammer is an indication that there is a fault in your system that needs to be attended to. If it's a faulty jumper valve, loose connection, or a water system that delivers excessive water flow... these all need to be assessed by a professional company that has the skill set to fix the hammering and control the situation before a pipe burst occurs. Read more to learn how to fix burst pipes. 

  • WHAT IS THE BANGING OF PIPES WHEN MY WATER IS TURNED ON?

    Do you have noisy pipes? Whether it's hot water or cold water, if a pipe is not secure and has loose mounting clips, the pipe will move around from the pressure travelling through the system. This may be the reason you experience the water hammer effect when you turn on your system.

  • IS WATER HAMMER DANGEROUS?

    Yes, leaving a water hammer issue is dangerous. You may end up with a burst pipe and then water damage as a result. Water damage and health concerns go hand in hand. Don't leave it until you're handling an emergency. Act now. Contact our plumbing service today for a hassle-free assessment.

  • WHY DO I SUDDENLY HAVE WATER HAMMER?

    You may have had water hammer for a while, it's just been silent up till now. The louder the hammer becomes the quicker you need an assessment by a professional plumber. It's an indication that your system is under even more pressure, a valve has loosened or the mounting clips have dismounted. Contact our plumbing service today and don't put up with noisy pipes any longer.

  • IS WATER HAMMER BAD?

    Yes, it's not good. But it is completely fixable with the correct intervention and maintenance. Fill in our contact form to discuss how Network can help solve your pipe concerns. 

  • WILL INSTALLING MODERN MIXER TAPS REDUCE WATER HAMMER?

  • DO I NEED TO SHUT OFF THE WATER WHEN I HAVE A HAMMERING NOISE?

    When you have water hammer issues you do not need to stop the flow of water. As irritating as the noise is, it's highly recommended to call a plumber to investigate and resolve the issue - especially if it's been happening for quite some time.


    Our technicians deal with water hammers all the time. we highly recommend calling us to book an inspection today!

  • WHAT IS A WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR?

    This is the same thing as a pressure limiting valve. When applied to your pipes it ensures that there isn't a sudden pressure surge meaning less pressure will be on your expansion joints limiting the likelihood of water hammer in your home or workplace. 


    Like everything, your plumbing needs regular and efficient service to ensure everything is operating correctly in your home.
