- Ever since we moved into this new house we have been dealing with banging water pipes. Each time the dishwasher runs it sounds like someone is taking a hammer to the walls and ceiling downstairs. Time to deal with this plumbing under the kitchen sink!

A few years ago I bought a ten year old house. Everytime I flushed a toilet, I would get water hammer. I asked a plumber friend to check it out and he discovered the previous owner replaced a shower cartridge with a generic brand. He replaced it with the proper Moen part and the water hammer went away. Another problem I had was each time I used a sink, there would be a sewer smell. Someone had installed vents under the sinks which is illegal. We ended up tearing out the plumbing under each sink and redoing it.
I totally agree with you about copper pipes. They are the best PERIOD !!!!
Great job ,some old houses 🏘 need a little T.L.C fixer upper upgrade 👍 GOD BLESS
How you have lived with that noice this long is beyond me. Almost as bad as a ticking clock! Great fix. It's much nicer under there now.
Sounds to me, they moved into this place and discovered the issue then corrected said issue.
@5:50, totally agree. Copper is anti-microbial and fungal. Also, your choice of valves is excellent too. This is what all the plumbers use who do not want to return to a job::) LOOKS GREAT!
I agree with the valves, I replaced every valve with ball type over the years. Every time I had to do a sink or tap or toilet I also did the valves. Gate valves rust up and won't close all the time or worse close then when to turn them back on they leak out the old rusty stem. Hate them.
I put hammer arrestors on each of my water connections at the washing machine, whether I have hammer or not. Has always worked well for me.
Nice video, my son is a plumber so I get tutorials whenever I watch him in action.
Be careful with ball valves in freezing conditions where you drain and winterize your plumbing, if you leave water inside the void in the ball they will break when it freezes and expands.
Great tip! I have never thought of that
As usual, beautious job, brother! When the bang starts to come back, just drain the system well enough that those tubes you added get drained. You'll be back to no-knock just like that.
this was so satisfying, thanks for sharing!
I have found that using melamine clad board to be more attractive, brighter and certainly more waterproof using silicone at joints & 1/4 round molding on the periphery.
Curious if that S trap should be a P trap with an air admittance valve at the top of the vertical pipe? Wonder if the previous missing marvel fitting allowed it to vent acting as a stand pipe like on a washer. Something to consider if your drain doesn't flow well.
When you soldier a coupling you should soldier both sides at the same time to prevent reheating and weakening the joint.
Saved a couple hundred bucks for sure. Good job.
Great job as always ❤☆☆☆very interesting n neatly done☆☆☆
enjoy tagging along
GREAT video!!!!!
A great job..you are an expert
Totally agree with you 👍
painting w white color it will be more nice..//excellent work w the pipes.
Great Video brother. There’s a like and subscriber coming your way.
I’m with you on soldering when possible but for those who can’t solder and let’s be honest, those who shouldn’t even try, Sharkbite is a decent fix. It’ll hold up fine until you can get someone in to fix it permanent. Sometimes I get crazy and use Silfos 15, hard braze it. Especially on water heaters or anything close to a heat source.
Thanks for the sub!
I understand why water hammer happens when the valve is closed. But what about when the valve is opened and *then* the noise and thumping starts?
Great
Looks like you built a full s trap their you might have problems with siphoning and sewer gas, you can install an oaty vent inside the cabinet to fix that. PEX is for inside the walls only even if you are going to use it. Last thing you want is a floppy plastic pipe when trying to turn off a gushing sink. PEX should always be subbed out of the wall with traditional copper. It's the most professional way to do it.
I hate gate valves as well. One more thing. The flow through a gate valve is only a fraction of the flow through a ball valve.
Thank you. Can the water hammer device be added anywhere in system to eliminate the problem.
You want to add it close to the appliance that has the issue
That looks like an S-trap. Pretty sure it's banned in almost every jurisdiction. They create siphoning which then leads to sewer gas entering the living space.
Just wondering why you did all that work but did not fix the S trap. Maybe it is code where you live but against code in every jurisdiction in the U.S.
Would you have any advice? We have banging pipes every hour or two long after water has been run.. it happens throughout the day and night. Thanks
Are you on a well? Assuming you are it is probably each time your well cycles and comes up to pressure. Or some other appliance using water? Softener maybe?
@@SSLFamilyDad thanx
👍
11:25 S traps are a code violation aren't they?
I'm not sure what you could have changed, but you still have an S trap there, which isn't ideal. Everything looks way better overall, nice job.
The noise is not the worst part of the problem. That vibration will lead to early failure of your plumbing.
For sure!
What an annoying noise to finally get rid of.
Great
