We've lived in our home for several years, no hammering. Within the week, hammering is occurring without any household valve or solenoid being activated. I confirmed this at the water meter ( a new digital/wireless unit for the city). I've watched the meter to see if there is a slow leak or other and my wife yelled "it's hammering!".
There is no rhyme or reason to start the hammering (leaking toilet lets say and when tank is refilled, hammering starts, or washing machine).
Pressure at the service to the home is 65-70 psi. When the hammering occurs, that gauge varies by +/- 10 psi - easily.
I've had this create failures and repairs at the water heater already.
Any ideas or thoughts as to the cause and a solution ?
