Introduction
Do your house pipes make loud noises at night or every time you turn on the tap? That’s a sign of a plumbing issue.
Many homeowners don’t realise that strange pipe noises can be early signs of more serious damage. This article explains the main causes of noisy pipes, the types of sounds to look out for, and how to fix them easily and safely.
Common Causes of Noisy Pipes
The most common causes include:
High water pressure – Causes pipes to vibrate or “scream”
Air trapped in the pipes
Loose clips or brackets – Pipes not properly supported
Old or rusty pipes – Causes poor water flow
Faulty or clogged valve – Makes clicking or knocking sound when opening/closing taps
Types of Pipe Noises & What They Mean
Hissing sound: Usually due to high water pressure or small leaks
Banging (water hammer): Sudden stop of water flow
Ticking: Pipes expanding or contracting due to temperature change
Rattling: Pipes are loose and not secured properly
By identifying the sound type, plumbers can fix the problem more accurately and quickly.
How to Fix Noisy Pipes
Basic steps and when to call a pro:
Turn off the main water supply and check the water pressure
Release trapped air by turning on all taps for a few minutes
Add extra brackets to stabilize loose pipes
Replace old or faulty valves
If the problem repeats or you're unsure of the cause, call a professional plumber for a full inspection.
