    Water Hammer - Flats

    I've been keeping a mental track at the moment, rather than detailed records and have identified what I think are a couple of properties which seem to match the pattern as to when it is and isn't caused. There was a period in the summer when the noise stopped for a period but the management...

    Water Hammer - Flats

    Hmm, that would be tricky, at least for myself to do. At the moment the management company is giving me grief which isn't helping. Thank you for your suggestion though. I'd considered asking a plumber to fit one but I had read they usually aren't effective unless placed next to the source, plus...

    It hasn't been reported as an issue prior to moving in (not to say that it doesn't mean it wasn't the case) however, I didn't have this issue for the first 6 months here. In terms of the amount it happens, it's not constantly throughout these time periods. For example in the morning it can be a...

    Water Hammer - Flats

    I live in a block of flats (it consists of a row of ground floor 2 storey properties, and a row of 1 storey maisonettes on top), I live in one of the maisonettes. There's a water mains which runs along the ground floor, and it splits off at various points to feed a number of flats. I moved...
