Hi All,
I have an issue that began after living in my house for 14 years... The pipes began banging in one area of the wall in the living room, only after the HOT water is turned OFF. Turning the cold water off anywhere does not cause any banging noise. The banging occurs only AS the hot water is turned off in the kitchen on the first floor from the sink/dishwater/powder room. It can be the hot water that is turned off in either of the second floor bathrooms. It is only the hot water that causes the banging. This began a few months ago after living in the house for 14 years, never had any plumbing noises at all.
So far, I have replaced the bathroom toilet valve and flap assembly in the toilet directly above where the noisy wall is located. I have just replaced the cartridges for four faucets free from MOEN. I have put an arrestor on the toilet, and the hot and cold water of the wash machine. I have a second toilet on the same level as the other one but have not replaced anything in that toilet as it doesn't appear to be leaking. I have not replaced the cartridges for the valves in each of the 2 showers as I can not, for the life of me, find the water shut-off valves for either of them. I have drained the water from the second floor twice to no avail, hoping to eliminate any air bubbles in the system.
Can any of you help with suggestions as to what the cause of this banging noise is caused by?
Thank You,
