That startling, loud banging noise echoing through your home? It’s water hammer, a common yet disruptive plumbing problem. Often caused by incorrect plumbing installations and inadequate pipe expansion, water hammer isn’t just annoying—it can damage your pipes and fixtures over time.

Water Hammer Repair Melbourne - Your Choice Plumbers

We know that every home's plumbing system is unique, reflecting the individual plumber's installation and the variety of fixtures used (taps, toilets, dishwashers, washing machines, etc.). However, our experience has shown that most water hammer issues can be resolved with a targeted, proven solution.

The primary culprits behind water hammer are quick-shutting water devices, including:

We examine your entire plumbing system to identify the source of the noise.

Pipe Securing:

We ensure pipes are securely fastened to prevent excessive movement.

5
Valve and Fixture Check:

We inspect and repair or replace faulty valves and fixtures.

6
Pressure Regulator Installation:

If high water pressure is the cause, we install a pressure regulator.

Use Slow-Closing Valves:

Opt for valves that close gradually.

Regularly Inspect Fixtures:

Check for leaks and replace worn-out parts.
