You’re not alone if your home has developed an orchestra of knocking, banging, or loud pipes. Noisy water pipes can be a nuisance, signaling potential plumbing issues that require professional attention. Ignoring these sounds can lead to more significant, costlier problems, making addressing them as soon as possible essential.

Our team of experienced professionals specializes in diagnosing and fixing all plumbing issues, including noisy pipes. Whether the problem stems from a water hammer, high water pressure, or loose pipe fittings, our plumbing services will restore peace to your home.
Noisy Water Pipes Driving You Crazy?
Water pipes should operate silently, efficiently transporting water throughout your home. However, it is often a sign of an underlying issue when they begin making loud or unusual noises. Some of the most common causes of noisy water pipes include:
Water Hammer
One of the most frequent causes of loud pipes is a water hammer, a sudden and forceful stopping of water flow that creates a loud banging noise. What typically happens when a faucet or valve shuts off quickly, sending shockwaves through the pipes. If left unaddressed, a water hammer can weaken pipes over time, increasing the risk of leaks and damage. Water hammers are especially common in older plumbing systems where air chambers that absorb the shock have become waterlogged.
How to Prevent Water Hammer
If you suspect a water hammer in your home, you can try shutting off your main water supply and draining your pipes to reset the air chambers. However, if this does not resolve the issue, we can install water hammer arrestors, which act as shock absorbers for your plumbing system.
High Water Pressure
Excessively high water pressure can make pipes vibrate and create a humming or whistling sound. While intense water pressure may seem beneficial, it can strain your plumbing system, leading to leaks, burst pipes, and premature wear and tear.
How to Control Water Pressure
You can check your home’s water pressure using a pressure gauge. If your pressure is above 60 psi, it may be too high. North Peachtree Plumbing can install a pressure regulator to ensure safe and consistent water flow throughout your plumbing system.
Loose or Unsecured Pipes
Pipes that aren’t adequately secured can move around when water flows through them, causing clanking or rattling noises. Over time, this movement can lead to leaks or damage to the pipe joints, requiring professional repair. This issue is common in homes with exposed plumbing, such as basements and crawl spaces.
How to Fix Loose Pipes
Securing loose pipes with brackets, straps, or cushioning materials can help reduce movement and noise. If the problem persists, our technicians can assess and reinforce your plumbing system to prevent long-term damage.
Clogged Pipes and Drains
Blockages in your pipes or clogged drains can create whistling or gurgling noises as water struggles to flow past the obstruction. A clogged drain can also cause pressure buildup, exacerbating the noise problem and potentially damaging water.
