BIG IDEA
Whenever you hear your pipes banging or clanging in your house, that's a sign to investigate it, see what's going on, get the pipe secured, make sure there's not water hammer going on.
DESCRIPTION
In this episode, hosts Melissa and Joe tackle two persistent household plumbing frustrations: toilets that run endlessly due to warped flappers from poor water quality or chlorine damage, and the startling banging noises in pipes triggered by sudden water stops known as water hammer. They explain practical causes like faulty fill valves, unsecured pipes, missing arrestors, and even sump pump check valves, while sharing why these issues deserve attention before they weaken joints or cause leaks. Listeners gain straightforward steps to diagnose and resolve them, drawn from years of real-world experience in a plumber's own home.
