Knowing when it\u2019s the right time to call upon the expertise of a plumber can be difficult.\u00a0 While some sounds in homes are normal, it can be unnerving to hear noises that might be related to plumbing problems<\/a>.\u00a0 If you are unsure whether or not to its time to call a plumber, here is a list of common plumbing sounds you might hear and what they could mean.<\/p>\n

Gurgling Noises<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gurgling noises coming from sink or tub drains could be a sign of needing plumbing repairs.\u00a0 The gurgling noise happens because of a blockage in the drains that isn\u2019t allowing water to drain properly.\u00a0 This means the drain vents aren\u2019t working properly.\u00a0 Without proper venting, air bubbles get into the drain, block the water from draining correctly, and cause a gurgling sounds.\u00a0 Call an experienced plumber to come out and vent your drains to remove air bubbles and allow water to drain quickly without being slowed down by blockage from an air bubble.\u00a0 If necessary, a plumber can also replace drains when needed.<\/p>\n

Shaking Sounds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running water often causes pipes to shake, so this isn\u2019t always an indicator of a major problem.\u00a0 However, if the sound is so loud that you can hear it throughout the house, it could mean your pipes aren\u2019t fastened securely.\u00a0 Loose pipes can cause extensive damage if they were to break or require repairs.\u00a0 Check the mounting straps and tighten them if necessary.\u00a0 Replace any old or worn part pipes to ensure everything is in proper working order.\u00a0 If you are uncomfortable performing plumbing repairs on your own, call on the experts at Peaden to tighten straps or replace parts.<\/p>\n

Whining Sounds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turning on a faucet only to hear a whining sound when the water comes out is never a good sign.\u00a0 This sounds usually means that a part within the faucet is broken.\u00a0 The best solution is to install a new faucet. If this is not your area of expertise, contact an expert to remove the broken faucet and install a new one to get rid of the whining noise that happens when the faucet is turned on.<\/p>\n

Banging Sounds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loud banging sounds are probably one of the most common sounds you might hear when turning on running water.\u00a0 This noise is caused by the water hammer.\u00a0 Water hammers open and close, stopping water from flowing.\u00a0 The water hammer opening and closing often can cause damage to pipes and loosen parts which might lead to needing repairs.\u00a0 If you hear a continual banging sound, it could be the water hammer banging against the pipes as it opens and closes.\u00a0 To avoid more costly repairs in the future, contact a professional plumber to come and inspect the source of the banging noise and make any necessary plumbing repairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
