Hello,
I just joined but have been reading website on and off for a couple of years. Have been reading extensively now for over a week.
I have a moaning noise issue behind the bathroom wall when hot water is turned on (bath tub and sink at the same time). No noise with cold water.
When only one faucet is turned on hot. No noise. When either is turned on hot and the other cold, no noise.
At times, the sound will occur when kitchen sink faucet is on hot.
No noise when washing machine is run on hot.
Recent work, new gas water heater installed one year ago. One month ago it was serviced (drained etc..). About 2-3 weeks ago, the hot water pipe (from the wall to the heater) was replaced because that pipe was very old and corroded (wasn't recommended to be replaced on hot water heater install,
A couple of days later, when bathroom sink faucet was turned on (any temperature), pipes and faucet clanged. That went away. Now it is the moaning sound.
New sink faucet replaced this week in bathroom.
Plumber will be out next week again, he feels it could be the hot water flex tubes are too long and could be causing the sound. But is not for certain.
Does that sound like a possibility?
Does anyone have an idea what could be happening?
Thank you
