    Delayed Single Knock When Shower Is Turned-Off

    Noise is still there. mliu, number 4 should read the “plumber” thought he figure out the reason for the sound, corrected and resealed wall. He was wrong and sound remains. He’s the guy the contractor who redid the bathroom uses, so not sure of his qualifications. Might call a real plumber...
