Knocking Sound
Tags:
Plumbing
When I run water hot or cold anywhere in the house, when I turn off the faucet I hear a knocking sound coming from pipes. I'm not sure where yet but this happens at any faucet. Any ideas?

hydraulic shock waves WATTER HAMMER normally caused by solenoid or other quick closing valves...
You may need an air chamber installed or a water hammer arrestor, sometimes called a shock absorber
