banging noise coming from water pipe/faucet replaced

[@DYIIdeas]

These kinds of tips are why I love your vids, Steve. I would have never thought a sound like that would be coming from the lavatory hose bibb when you flush the toilet, especially not the hot side. Thanks for posting, your vids are always informative.

[@johnjustin8944]

That's what I like about professional plumbers. They come in, do the job and leave. Then you go on with your life. Do I hate plumbing? Yes I do! Do I love Plumbers? Yes I do! Thank you for your service!

[@marielundberg7309]

You are a genius to be able to figure out where that sound was coming from

[@dcrickerson9775]

I have never seen this before. Wow what a noise! Great job Steve.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

DC Rickerson i see this alot .sometimes it soulds like a machine gun very loud

[@harrydickson4575]

Fantastic job Steve ! I never would of thought of a washer making all that noise ? Great job

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Harry Dickson i see this alot yes a loose washer can make a racket

[@harrydickson4575]

steven lavimoniere I just learned something new thanks Steve for sharing the video

[@TandNServices]

Nice Job Steven, I bet she wanted to hug you for getting rid of that noise

[@mikestevenson1819]

Thanks for the sheet metal videos. Made a nice transition for a furnace swapout. On the fly!

[@TandNServices]

Mike Stevenson thanks, I'm glad they helped you

[@stevenlavimoniere]

T&N Services LLC. this lady is a tennet for a good customer of mine i went right over there and fixed the problem for her ,she was happy ..

[@andrewdoyle88]

I hope she called as soon as this was happening. Sounded like a cruise ship coming to port, hilarious!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+andrewdoyle88 she said it was like that for a while .then finaly call the landlord to have it fixed

[@ursulasmith6402]

Oh, yes! I had to laugh about the faucet, no, not Steve!

[@richardchandler1922]

I always wear the gloves also, Smart. You seem to be like me a person who always does his best at doing the job right and complete. I admire your commitment, and tenacity to always doing the the job Right for the customer. After 20 years in the field I still look to you and others to learn more, and I thank you, and ALL for the VIDEOS. Thank you ALL

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Richard Chandler thanks for the great comment

[@Brad1237202]

Another quality repair Steven! Enjoy what's left of the weekend. It made my day by not seeing any "Thumbs down" for a change.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Brad1237202 don't worry about the thumbs down .i know were there coming from .they will not slow me down or stop me in anyway ..

[@soupflood]

That's a ship horn, not a faucet.

[@AntiqueAngel44]

Yeah really.

[@grettagrids]

it is FUGLY and not something I would buy.. I like to pick out my own and what works for me as I am handicapped. I can get nice faucets cheap..

[@ursulasmith6402]

That was funny, when i was a young girl, my parents had a similar issue, but that was air . We played with the faucet and let some water fun, just to hear the sound My dad a d a few neighbors changed the faucet and the pipe. The pipe had a crack. Thats all , i remember.

[@chickenpickle131]

Lol

[@OfficerLarryNMSE]

So that's what makes the humming noise in the kitchen. I appreciate the information...🤔👍🤔👍🤔

[@TheChipmunk2008]

You've just solved a plumbing issue for me! Our toilet's been doing that when filling. I shall now check for washers with wear!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

***** a banging noise is usually a loose washer in shut off

[@Sawashi32]

Never ran across this issue before. I learned something new today. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Sawashi32 thanks for watching

[@dwight.bennett]

You took all of the fun out of the bathroom for the kids! I had a good laugh though with the boat coming into port sounds. I knew the problem had to do with the condition of a valve, but was surprised at the culprit being the hot shutoff for the sink, when the toilet would also trigger it to happen.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Dwight Bennett the hot water faucet was leaking so when the toilet ran it trigured the washer in shutoff below faucet

[@702ringo1]

Great video Steven. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Steven West thanks for the comment

[@sandras940]

Excellent tutorial. I will try. Worst that can happen, call plumber. Thank you.

[@tylerskolded1232]

The fuck am I coming home from plumbing to watch more plumbing for? lol good fix though, I learned something today.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Tyler Skolded every day is a school day we all learn all the time when you stop learning you will be dead

[@alexhenderson8356]

Hey Steve, Your video looked exactly like my set up right down to the broken apart washer. Without this video, I would not have known what to do. You saved me a plumber expense. The only down side is dealing with the lack of help at Home Dopey to find the washer! LOL Thank you!

[@ellaye3232]

[@emanueladavis1885]

Love your videos, learned a lot, bit envious we don't have plumbers where I am that are honest and do the job that is needed instead of trying to rip people off....lol have been with out hot water since Christmas of 2016. The plumbers could not find the leak and I have to keep turning the hot water off and on from out side when we want to shower or the meter on the outside keeps spinning and wasting water by the gallons as it spins even when the water is shut off from the gas hot water system. It's a pain going out side and turning it off and on. I have no hot water going to the kitchen all day long every day. They came in with some equipment to find where the pipes are leaking, and they wanted 300 to tell me they could not find it....they took 133 our of my credit card after telling me they did not know where the problem was. This is an old house and they think the pipes are running under the foundations (concrete) back in the 50 or 60 that is what they used to do in Australia I guess. To replace all with new pipes they said it would cost between 4 and 5 thousand dollars....Looks like I will be with out hot water in my kitchen till the day I die.....lol My water bill was 390 dollars before knowing that turning the tap off at the gas hot water system would at least stop the outside meter spinning like crazy wasting water, god only knows where it was going....my previous bills were between 95 to 133 a month....it took me 3 lots of arranged payments to pay the water authority off. I am so pissed off with plumbers, I have never had one come out that was honest. You sir are a credit to the industry. Wish we had someone like you where I live.

[@jhhvacplumbing1944]

Tug boat noise for sure , nice work Steve .

[@stevenlavimoniere]

justin henning thanks for commenting

[@murnise]

I had one just like that! I end up changing the faucet too. Nice video Steven.......

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Mike Urnise thanks for commenting mike

[@philportney1174]

I sure learn a lot from your videos, especially your plumbing videos. I've been in the HVAC industry since 1980. I regret never working for a company that did plumbing as well as AC. I'm looking into what it would take to supplement my Nevada HVAC Contractors License with a plumbing license. By The Way; You and Ralph are SUPER TECHS!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

PHIL PORTNEY thanks for watching i will be doing more plumbing videos in the future ..

[@stlbluesfan1992]

Great fix Steve ... see that a lot out here in the suburbs of Philadelphia ... I'm more amazed with that prehistoric trap!

[@denny3161]

Was gonna throw away my empty anti freeze container and thought wait a min. The handy dandy Lavimonier collector!

[@GarrettWorcester]

OMG! I'm listening to this through headphones and it sounds awesome/terrifying! Holy Cow - fix that doggone faucet!!!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Cliff Smith i changed the faucet out

[@GarrettWorcester]

I'm afraid that will be my next step. I just cannot seem to get the chattering to stop...boooo!

[@joedevitto6113]

My bathroom shut off valve is doing this must need a washer inside it .. making that big noise . amazing how just a rubber washer can make all that noise ... thanks for sharing

[@andrewfournaris8790]

I'm busting up laughing every time you opened the faucet!

[@JUANRodriguez-uv2ou]

Like this helped me out with this problem. Thanks Steve and I also started wearing gloves..

[@stevenlavimoniere]

[@midaaguilera1663]

if they knew a plumber was coming to fix their faucet.why didn't they move the stuff out of the way.....seriously people!

[@soupflood]

Because plumbers are professionals and they also move stuff out, clean and replace the husband in bed obviously

[@tbirdlew]

Thanks so much for posting, it really helped me out!

[@Yoyomanmanholla]

Wait so the horn sound was due to a loose washer rattling around in there?

[@codymon100]

Good job Steven.

[@janharmonddacion7778]

That rattling sound at 1:13 sounds like my Subaru idling.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Jan D lol

[@DeWittPotts]

I have faucets in both my bathrooms that use the ceramic cartridges. They work well and last for years but the drawback is that there is really no maintenance that you can do to them. Once they start leaking your only option is to replace the cartridge. Since the cartridge is specific to the faucet manufacturer there is no standardization to them. The old fashioned washer and seat is much easier to find parts for normally.

[@nickyp2820]

There should be a law against making so many different kinds of parts!

[@phabi0]

cool fixing. You're the man!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

TheFabio thanks for watching

[@bettier]

great video! we could use good plumbers like you out here in vegas

[@bihlover80s33]

When I'm using my shower faucet I hear very desturbing banging noise, like somebody forcefully knocking on my door before water running. Can you please tell me what could be a problem. Thanks in advance. BTW, I wear the gloves all the time if I have them handy if not, I will continue to work, no matter what. Thanks

[@FixthisCD]

I would never change that haha, like a tug boat horn :)

[@johntheplumber5958]

that's the funniest thing I've heard sounds like there's a train in there 😂

[@phillipraneri1757]

Question if the faucet was good. Would the washer replacement stop the loud noise

[@asdfasdf-rb3oq]

sick tradesman! this dude is on point

[@rob95053]

good job I learned a few tricks from watching

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Robert Rickerson good deal

[@rob95053]

+steven lavimoniere I'm a 2nd year apprentice plumber and I enjoy your videos

[@emanueladavis1885]

why are you a brain cell?

[@nicholasceea4109]

That's similar to the noise my pipes were making when they added the vacuum breaks to my outdoor faucets. Like an elephant trumpeting.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Nicholas CeeA sounds like you need a new outside sill faucet . sometimes .its the shutoff in basement to outside sill faucet with a loose washer ,check that first . remove bonnet and see if screw or washer is loose

[@nicholasceea4109]

It seemed to be the screw-on vacuum breakers causing it, especially when flowing the hoses at low volumes. One in the front, one in the back, different pipes and shutoffs. I drilled the set screws out and removed them. No more elephants.

[@bobbywanger8123]

That was very interesting 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@colsomemiah6095]

thank you....now I know its plumbing and not heating

leave it to the home depot special to fail in that hilarious way LOL

[@pepperdog3761]

great vid,,,,, learned a few tricks, thanks

[@matthewmartinez7263]

I think you videos are great. Maybe you can answer a quick question. Can I put a garbage disposal on my sink if it's not on the main septic? It's on a separate smaller grease trap.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Matthew Martinez i would not put a garbage disposal into a grease trap .. not sure you saving it right .a grease trap catches grease and has to be clean from time to time .. usally found in a commerial job on a 3 bay sink in a kitchen .

[@clockbuilderhg]

Musical plumbing! I saw something like this on this old house once.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Josiah Hanna i see this alot

[@MARKSLOCKSMITHLLCDBALOCKMARK]

I had the same problem. I too replaced the valves it still made the noise. I took the Aerator off and it stopped making the noise. I soaked the aerator in C.L.R. Over night and problem solved. $35.00 for valves $5.00 for CLR at Lowe’s hardware store. Removing the aerator I used a large pair of pliers I wrapped tape around the teeth to not scratch the finish and turned it from right to left remember it is upside down. Either way would have fixed the problem checking the aerator first to see if that verified the problem at least you know.

[@RealityRenovations]

what would you say would cause loud wooshing noise from pipes when the water runs? I haven't put a guage on it but my water pressure seems pretty high. any suggestions on things to check?

[@gunfisher4661]

If you have high pressure than so does your neighbors ,ask them. then call the water company as there are regulator valves every so often down the street. For the wooshing noise I think I replaced a certain faucet ,I can`t remember it was a long time ago.

[@sebastian993]

Customer : I have a noisy tap Plumber : you're gonna need a new faucet, drain pipes , tap valve & seals

[@steveofadown]

how would i know where to look first? we have this noise problem when using the cold tap on the kitchen sink,it's a mixer tap

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Steve Hammond start with the shut offs under the sink ..thats the most likely place of the problem

[@steveofadown]

Stop taps?

[@luvmybeemer]

steven lavimoniere where do you pick up a box of washers like you had? I have 11 angle stops ( and they aren’t all from one maker) in my house and I’m lucky if 3-4 of them work to shut off water completely at their fixture.

[@scaleop4]

Yep this is the sound we had coming from our tap upstairs .very very annoying. when it was fixed the plumber told us it was the tap spindle that was worn.

[@dchristopher]

This was really helpful, thanks for sharing!

[@dailleztj]

Why wouldnt u replace the angle stop especially one of that age instead of trying to match up the washers and taking the risk of it seizing up in a year or so like most angle stops

[@hanky97007]

That is too funny. I guess it would drive a person crazy though.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

hanky97007 its really i see this alot

[@Marmit42424]

Hey Steven! Thank you very much for making this video! If you would be so kind I have a question. What keywords should I search to try to solve a problem where my sink's water pipe creates a continuous high pitched running water sound even though no water is running? I've searched for several hours with no success.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Steven Buri change the shutoff ,supply and faucet and your noise will go away it one of them 3 things causing the problem i would start with the faucet.shut the water off and take the shutoff apart check to see if the washer is loose .or not open all the way sometimes the water supply gets filled with crust sediment like hard barnicles .just replace the water supply .tube .

[@Marmit42424]

steven lavimoniere Thank you so much! That is incredibly kind and helpful of you! What is your companies name and what state do you operate in?

[@Reefdevil]

@ 1:10 Ever seen Goonies when they are underground, banging on the pipes right before it blows?

[@gerrymcadams7517]

Great video, Do you install the pop up stopper so it can be removed or non-removable? I like my at my house where you can take it out to clean. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

gerry mcadams i locked it in place like it should be ... if there is a problem in future the landlord will call me to fix it ..

[@kellymoran8128]

All I Can Say Is That Is Hilarious!! I Couldn't Stop laughing!!

No more water hammer, but ..."why do you wear gloves?" 😂😂😂

[@briantassano1966]

it also sometimes sounds like a sneezing sound...made me wanna say gesundheit lol

[@darrent6814]

Sounds like a cruise ship horn I heard before I go there!

[@ohbummer7256]

i knew it wasnt my downstairs neighbors having sex rocking the bed against the wall! its the damn water pipes

[@TheTruthSeeker756]

Why would you wear gloves LOL! Mr. Lavimoniere is the BEST!

[@goldman3293]

I had same problem in my house,I change water tank fill valve of the toilet, my problem is fixed.so it is due to slight leakage of water through faucet/tap.

I thought the Titanic sunk? How did it end up in Mass?

[@BabyBoiAaron]

take a shot everytime he says why do you wear gloves

[@SuperAceuno1]

I was wondering how the washer could fall off but see they don't use a screw anymore, I had the same problem with my faucet where the replacement valve cost more than a new faucet, I tried to cut my drain out with a vibrating multi tool and the vibration caused it to shake loose before I could cut halfway thru it

[@stevenlavimoniere]

SuperAceuno1 thanks for watching

[@joeysuarez1922]

Shoots and he scores!!! Go kings!!!

[@borys444]

Good job and just so u know I would not have wore gloves.

[@tyik]

I have banging noise from the pipe when I turn on the taps. I thought water hammer noise is coming from when the tap is turned off.

Could watch this shiet all day.... Moving pictures better than words.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Roger Diotte thanks for the comment roger

[@nickyp2820]

The old faucet was perfectly fine. Why didn't you just replace the o-rings or the stems in it to stop the leak.

what is that blue goo that you putting in??

[@tomlee7174]

do i have to replace everything or only the washer

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Michael Dhindsa usally just the washer it its loose

[@tomlee7174]

okay thx cause it sounds like its banging other pipes.

[@danjoe22]

That faucet could not be fixed? You replace that beautiful classic faucet with that cheap looking one? Your videos are great and I love the comments and conversations you have with the customers, but this one kind of disappointed me. I guess I am more of a fixer than an replacer.

[@ChrisMFlorida]

I thought a damn ship was coming in..

[@justinnicolas2347]

but why would the hot water have anything to do with the toilet? Thats odd since it uses cold water.

[@johnathanjoy2143]

It sounds like a truck horn 😂😂😂

[@sherkhan808]

Thank you very kind sir :D

[@davidhigginbotham5451]

I solved same noise at bathroom sink by applying faucet grease to the faucet valve. MOEN

[@shaadyraaparson7754]

sir I've been looking for similar videos to figure out a crazy noise from my bathroom. it's not too much quite like your but randomly through out the day and night I get a "drilling or jackhammer" noise in my walls. in the bathroom. and I feel te vibrations on the wall. it's random all day and last from 5 seconds to 3 minutes. it doesn't matter if I'm running water or not. I live in an apartment complex and stayed up from 5am to 5am just to test to see if it was something to do with others running water and it's not. have you ever experienced such a thing?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

yes its probley someone elses unit hard to say over a email call the landlord to have it fixed

[@1sola]
