Hi,
Left the house yesterday morning, all was well, daughter at home said no issues. I returned about 10 pm, flushed the main floor toilet and pipes started banging like I've never heard before. I think, but not sure yet, main floor toilet is most of the issue (Toto Drake).
Contractors are outside are installing new fiber optic cable in neighborhood, hard to see how this is related, but wanted to mention.
No changes to plumbing system other than new hot water heater ~3 months back.
Checked pressure at basement sink, have the 60 psi, assuming pressure regulator is good. Also, have an expansion tank at hot water heater (not new) but I think if it failed my pressure relief valve at hot water tank might seep.
Should I turn the water off and let system drain after opening all valves, flushing toilets? Never had an issue in 18 years at this house, house is entirely plumbed with copper pipe, etc.
Thanks for any input.
Mike
