Title: Plumbing noises
Post by: Nick on November 22, 2017, 09:01:19 AM
Usually alone in this house, I am aware of plumbing problems which cause all the pipes to moan and rattle alarmingly when any water related device is activated. Having the washer (new one not any longer gay) on whilst flushing a toilet produces nearly apocalyptic sounds  scared2:

Listening to cat Mum and Dad use the bathroom this morning involved a symphony of gurgling and pipe banging. noooo:
I suggested that the late Delia Derbyshire could have made a fantastic horror film soundtrack out of their morning ablutions  angel1

I further suggested that if steam train journeys were involved their fantastically complex coffee machine could be wheeled on angel1

Tis a mystery wot science struggles to explain

We occasionally get the most horrendous noise as the hot tap is turned off.  The cats run away in panic

You too could pay £75 for a bloke to come round, stick his thumb on the mixer tap outlet and turn on hot and cold for 2 minutes to cure the airlock.  evil:

And today's 'Clever Wheeze' prize goes to . . .


But sadly it's not an airlock that side of the header tank, it's an issue on the supply side of that and Mr Plumber has looked at that
