Good morning all.
I have lived for 2yrs in a 4yr old new build flat.
As I am on my own I have used the mostly the ensuite toilet. About 6 months ago the toilet, that has a built in cistern, started to make reverberating noises on flushing and filling up. This built up until the noise stayed all the time!! The toilets are fed with plastic pipe off the mains.
I then had a leak in the bathroom from the cistern. This caused water damage that has recently been repaired. The cistern during this time was isolated and so the noise stopped. During the repairs I then used the 2nd bathroom.
The plumber ,who fixed the water damage, adjusted the float valve and changed the high pressure inlet fitting to a low pressure one. He also reduced the flow to the cistern on the isolation valve. This appeared to work initially, now the noise is back, worse it is now happening in the other toilet!!
Whats more I can also hear it throughout the block when other people flush there toilets!
Any solutions come to mind? Is it a common problem in new builds, mains fed cisterns etc.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for any help or advice.
All the best Si
