    Sporadic Rumble in Pipes

    The sound appears to be connected to the upstairs toilet after all. So we're having it changed. It's over 20 years old and we've got our money's worth from it. In the meantime, we've gotten rid of the humming in the pipes by turning off the main downstairs and opening up all the taps in the...
