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.

Network Plumbing did a great job at our place, installing a very efficient and effective drainage system that will help alleviate our previous drainage problems. From the time the quote was provided to completing the finished job, all the team members were professional, courteous and did an excellent job. Everything was taken care of including liaising with Council for approval requirements through to remediating the lawn afterwards. Each day, the team thoroughly cleaned up the driveway and other public spaces to ensure we and the public were not negatively impacted by the ongoing work. Thank you!
I can't thank Jordan, Oliver and George enough for installing new taps in kitchen, and taps, shower rose and toilet cistern in my bathroom. The boys were very polite, respectful, friendly and very professional. Thank you very much for doing such a wonderful job! Highly recommend using Network Plumbing. Loretta
We had to make an emergency call out and although the plumber that came out on the day was only to make a temporary solve, they let us know that they would send someone out the next day. We figured we would have to chase it up but we received a call first thing in the morning to let us know that they would be sending out a senior plumber within the hour. Spencer showed up, he was very knowledgeable, very friendly, and had us right in no time. Would highly recommend this team and their services!
Matt was incredibly helpful and caring. He assessed and completed our plumbing jobs to a high standard.
Great work Mat and Joey. Thanks to Brendan who always looks after us.
Line took my call promptly and politely and got things underway at Lightning speed . Shaun, Micah and team were professional and real gentleman. I use Network plumbing every time for peace of mind
Billy and Danny were simply sensational on the roof today, saftey was the number one priority and then they took every measure to make sure everything was weather proof
Chase attended today. He was efficient and capable. He sorted our problems quickly and I couldn’t be happier.
Andrew and Will where fantastic. They worked all day to fix a massive leak and reconnect the whole water line to the laundry. They did this during the worst weather conditions.. raining most of the day. They had to travel through the house and removed their shoes every time.. and didn't leave until everything was as they found it. LIfe savers
Fast & professional! Thanks to the young champ Will!
Chase was very helpful and efficient and also gave amazing advice for unrelated problems
Thanks will s and Andrew. Great job b

An excellent job done!
The plumbing team from Network did an amazing job fixing the leaking exterior water line and the broken sewage line in the rear garden. The communications were excellent and team exhibited a very high level of professionalism. The clean up and restoration after completion was also exceptional, you would not know there was a 1.5m excavation until the shrubs in the attached photo
Roland and Matt went above and beyond in getting our dishwasher installed. We had two unexpected issues with the dishwasher pipes/hoses, they were very patient and made sure everything was working as expected.
Ethan and Aidan were prompt and fixed issues in our unit without much hassle. Would recommend network.
I highly recommend network plumbing! They were responsive, professional, and got the job done efficiently. I had an emergency with a burst pipe in my kitchen, and they sent Ethan over within a couple of hours and he did a wonderful job
Ryan Banner really sorted out my rap issues, would recommend 😊
Network Home Services Wollongong area. Thanks to Kate for arranging Brad to come out and fix my washing machine taps before my new washing machine turned up. Brad phoned to let me know he was on his way and turned up exactly when he said he would, looked and diagnosed problem straight away. He and his off-sider (sorry I missed his name) were pleasant friendly and efficient. Quoted and did the job there and then and also checked our pressure. Also gave us some advice as to what to look out for in case we have other problems. Thanks so much Brad, it was nice to meet you both. Cheers!
I had a great experience with Network Plumbing! A family member recommended them, and I’m so glad I called. They sent out a plumber named Chase, and he was fantastic. He quickly identified the issue with my leaking toilet and had it fixed in no time. Chase was professional, friendly, and really knew his stuff. I highly recommend Network Plumbing for any plumbing needs – they’re reliable, efficient, and top-notch!
Chase came out to my place for a leak in the bathroom and was very clean,tidy and professional would 100% recommend network plumbing
Tristan and his team of Aiden, Connor, Lachlan and Declan did a great job installing our new air conditioning system on budget, quickly and efficiently. In particular, Tristan's leadership was excellent.
Sandro and Will were prompt and courteous, and removed their shoes to come inside because of the wet weather. Sandro explained what he was going to do and explained what he had done after he finished. All round, I found Network an efficient operation, including the admin side.

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!
