Has anyone experienced pipe hammer, apparently caused from outside the house where the hammer is heard?
There's no water appliances in use inside, the heating is off, but every so often there's a hammer noise running through the whole house (2-storey detached property). My theory is that it's happening when others in the street shut off their water, and the resulting 'stop' and momentary variance in pressure causes the hammer in our property.
As to a cure...would the water company be interested? Could I cut down the effects from elsewhere by reducing the inlet pressure at the main water cock?
Any thoughts or comments.....
