Why Are My Pipes Banging

There are few things more annoying, or scarier, than noisy, banging pipes. If your pipes are noisy, we recommend addressing the problem immediately. Ignoring it could turn a minor issue into a major problem requiring an expensive repair or even a new boiler. The good news is,in most cases, noisy pipes, if dealt with early, can be easily fixed.
Often, problems with noisy pipes come from the hot or cold water pipes either leading to or coming from the radiator. There are a couple of common causes of banging pipes. Either your pipes could be loose or you may have a problem with a valve. Also, in some cases, your pipes may be too close to a surface and banging against it, causing the noise.
If your pipes are loose, they will likely have to be more tightly anchored with additional straps. If the problem is a faulty valve, you may have to re-adjust or replace it. If your pipes are too close to a surface, cushioning it may help.
These are some of the most common causes of banging pipes, but it is important to keep in mind that noisy pipes can also be a sign of a more serious problem with either the plumbing components or the entire installation. It can be difficult to diagnose the problem. For that reason, we advise that, unless you have a thorough understanding of plumbing, it is best to contact a professional plumber.
