do you live in a rural area. often the utility zone pump is switched off at night and comes back on when demand is expected this leads to a spike in pressure and MAYBE your bang. leaving a tap trickling was suggested to short term stop the noise and indicate that if it works its solvabubble (new word) by a aav at that pipe leading to the tap you left running Rob Foster aka centralheatkingThanks for that. So a worn washer can also cause banging in the pipes? Where is the ball valve? I had a new hot water tank fitted last Oct.The boiler was also new last year. It still seems odd why I'm hearing hammering at virtually the same time every morning, 5.40am,especially as I'm detached and I turn everything off overnight except the surestop switch. I will turn that off tonight just to see.
Sounds good. Would this solve things other than hammer. I've yet to find out if I'm on shared mains, or if there's a loose unclipped pipe somewhere. Thanks.If the pipes are difficult to access then maybe fitting a mini shock arrestor close to the incoming point of your water supply pipe would stop the water hammer.
