When To Install – Water Hammer Arrestor & How Air Chambers Work?
A water hammer arrestor might be an effective and quick solution. 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 the pressure wave found in your systems.

Great work by Oliver Jake and Phil. Everything works perfectly
Matthew was swift to respond and diagnose the issue with our lack of water pressure. Initial estimates indicated the need to temporarily bypass a section of piping until we could locate the blockage before performing a more permanent solution. During testing for pipe location it was determined a faulty isolation valve was the culprit negating the need for the temporary solution and significantly reducing the cost of the solution. Matthew was courteous and professional throughout and once diagnosed correctly was a swift fix, would highly recommend.
Over two days of working outside to unblock a private stormwater easement affecting four properties on the same easement, Phil and Matthew brought us success. Happy to have them anytime. Great workers. Network you certainly have the right people for the job.
Network Plumbing is excellent! Another emergency blocked loo! So close to Christmas I didn’t think the issue would be resolved and I would have cancel planned celebrations . One phone call and Tim arrived within 3 hours resolving the problem. Tim is absolute gentleman! Every person I deal with at company is so professional.

Lovely professional and friendly guys - highly recommend!
I really appreciated Jordan’s upfront approach. He was communicative, clear about the potential cost of the project, offered helpful suggestions and turned up bang on time. He was honest about the work that would be involved, to the point of recommending a completely different approach, which was very refreshing. I’ll definitely be asking for him for future plumbing work!

I want to thank Oliver, the plumber who came in for a complimentary check. He was very professional , courteous and did a thorough check. Thank you Oliver.
I could not recommend Network Plumbing, Electrical and Air Conditioning more highly! These people were incredible in their service, workmanship and remarkable turnaround time and everyone I dealt with was wonderful! After the first company I called to replace our broken water heater charged me to send someone to check it and then couldn’t even give me an estimate of when they could install a new one, I called Network at 2pm and had a new water heater in by 8pm. Could not be more impressed with Will, Bill and Ryan for their amazing work and professionalism! It was a great experience dealing with this company and I will definitely use them again.
Andrew , Liam and Phil were fantastic , really hard workers and did a excellent job. Highly recommended!
Good communication and response to problem
I had Jake and Sandro do two seperate jobs in quick succession and they were both excellent, speedy, clear communication, good workmanship. Would recommend
I have 4 kids and our air conditioning broke down on a really hot day — total chaos! I called Network Plumbing Services and Sally was so lovely taking my booking, super understanding and helpful. Sarkis arrived within the hour and had everything up and running so quickly. He was friendly, professional, and explained everything clearly. Couldn’t be more grateful for such fast and reliable service — highly recommend!
After a very satisfactory resolution by Network Plumbing, I wish to upgrade the rating I gave them earlier about their somewhat excessive charge. Network Plumbing acknowledged their over-estimation and met all my demands promptly, generously and with integrity. Impressive 5-star performance in this case. Thank you!
Sandro came this morning to replace a toilet. He was extremely professional and efficient. He was punctual and very courteous.
Peter responded promptly to our emergency call out and in addition to fixing the issue was very friendly and offered good advice
Fasts and reliable. Jake magic hands did a great job.
Matt, Joey & Levi did an excellent job replacing our damaged sewer pipe & leaving the dug up area in great condition. Thanks guys. Today Cameron installed our .new laundry cabinet. Looks great thanks.
I had Scott and the boys out to do a re-line. Very helpful and explained what was happening. They were all very polite and left my place clean and tidy. I would recommend them to anyone.
Team Tom and Cameron is absolutely amazing! Quickly identified the cause of blockage and cleared it up thoroughly. I really appreciated them for explaining the problem and their solution in plain words as I had no idea how the plumbings work; my 6 yo son was all ears as Tom described how they tackle the problem and now he is totally fascinated. 100% recommend Network Plumbing.
Great service. I really appreciated the thorough job and explanation of problem.
Tristan was punctual and absolutely helpful resolving the issue. Initially thought the issue is a damp motor failure. However, Tristan thoroughly tested other scenarios may be causing the issue, and diagnosed the underlying problem without having to replace any parts. Thank you Tristan for the great work and honesty. Highly recommend this business and will use them again for sure!
Excellent service and attitude. Very patient and understanding working around my 97 year old mother. On time, polite and courteous. Thank you Sandro, Reece and Rob for your work , both plumbing and electrical.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have more burning questions about leaking taps, a blocked toilet or your plumbing system? Here are some plumbing solutions.
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.
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 opened 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
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 4 areas you may need to assess.
- Replace any faulty jumper valves
- Reconnect any loose clip attachments holding the water pipe
- Install arrestors with an air chamber where necessary
- Installing a pressure-limiting valve
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
New taps unfortunately, are not a water hammer fix. The hammering noise is happening in the water pipe. Whether it’s an old house or a new house, that loud banging can happen at any time.
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 joint,s 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.
Our plumbers at Network Plumbing have the equipment and skills to solve any plumbing dilemmas for you!
