Great video. As a first time homeowner that's currently experiencing this, I want to say thank you. I can rest easy tonight!
Three years I’ve been trying to figure this out! We had a new roof put in and the banging started the following winter. The vents! 🤦🏻♀️ Never would have thought of that. Thank you and thanks for that awesome demonstration. It makes sense!
OH MY!!!! I’ve had EVERY pest control company in my city come out because I thought I had rats or mice… the sounds in this video is the exact sounds I hear. I always wondered why I only hear the sounds coming from one wall/ one area and only at night after we’ve showered and brushed our teeth!!!! This video has been given me so much comfort!!!
Thank you so much for this! I was thinking it was the sound of water dripping on the floor.
Dude, awesome video, perfectly edited, no fluff. Appreciate your experimental approach, too!
Wow dude. 7 years later on new years! Thats crazy. Thank you so much. I thought I had a knocking issue. You explaimed the problem perfectly
Man you are Awesome, you solved a big mystery for me, I am going crazy to find the root cause of those noises in my home, I am a first time home owner and was really worried that something might be wrong with the plumbing. Thanks a lot.
Great video! I've always wondered what that noise in my walls were. I thought it was the house settling but, it sound exactly like the video. Good demo also!
Thanks! For the best explanation on youtube, getting straight to the point and backing up your wisdom with an example.
Thank you, you have given me peace of mind x
Good explanation and demo, finally makes sense to me why I only hear it in the winter. I'm thinking about opening my wall up and dealing with it b/c it is driving me nuts.
This is great. No need to fix anything. I'll just ignore the sound
You're video really helped. Thanks!
Thank you. I live in a condo and I always hear knocking. My neighbor above me uses the shower consistently, and there’s always knocking whenever they drain the tub. I assume the drain pipe within the wall is PVC so I’m no longer worried. The guest bathroom is near the front door, which makes more sense since it’s cold.
Oh my God, i thought our drain pipe was loose and it knocked due to it, such a great find. Thank you for the video
Saaaaame. It’s been like the telltale heart. I can shower in peace now. Thank you!!
my condo has done this for the last 14 years. its annoying as hell really. happens when i do dishes in the dishwasher mostly. some knocks are pretty agrresive. my neighbors can hear it down into there apartment. maybe because im on top floor my pipes are always colder
I Saw somewhere, that you can spray foam insulation into the wall cavity where you hear the clicking and it will insulate the pvc pipe and prevent it from clicking like this in the winter :)
So my tub does this noise when the air conditioning comes on (nothing is draining) Any ideas ??
Does this sound go away in the summer when it's warm? This is my first winter in my apartment and this noise is driving me up the wall. It happens when I use water in the bathroom, but it will also happen intermittently on its own: one loud click/snap every half hour or so. The landlord says the pipes are copper. He'd likely have to cut open the wall to fix the issue, and I'm unsure when that will happen.
I think it’s normal in the winter in the summer I never really heard only now that it’s really cold even with regular cold water I hear it
My house is 10 years old the weather is warm, 48° and I have the same sound coming from my tub. The adjacent shower is quite as are the other drains. The house is on a slab and North Texas suffers from subsidence. Could the sound be the result of subsidence?
I hear this from the drain in the bathroom all the time. Now it’s almost 10 degrees and still the same. Let’s wait for the summer.
Do you have find out how to fix this Problem?
I live in a mobile home and have pex pipes. After I run the water at my kitchen sink (mainly the hot water) there's knocking/thumping sounds coming from under my dining room floor. I've had the pressure valve changed and lowered water pressure from 100 to 63 but it did not help. It also happens sometimes even when l'm not running the water. This may not be related, but coincidentally around the same time the thumping sound started my floor boards in dining room started to make creaking/snapping sound. Do vou have any idea of what could be causing the knocking/thumping sound under my floor?
😂 I was watching the Vikings and eating hot dish… you knew it
This noise is driving me nuts. Is there really no way to solve this?
I have seen where people put dryer sheets between the pipe and the hanger. I don't know if that helps, but I suppose it acts like a slip-sheet, or slip-joint if you will.
I had a 3 plumbers round to fix the knocking/hammering and all they did was scratch their head then fcuked-off!!
I Hurd knocking on my ceiling wall
I am a supervisor at a property loaded with wealthy ass hats and trying to tell any of them this lol all I am going to get are people crying and complaining about how they pay to much to hear this noise and mind you this is Texas you will probably hear this at most 1 to 2 months with with maybe 2 to 3 days actually cold enough.
What a waste of my time
How rude!!
