Pipe Making Noise
Author: RJM1971 (IL) When I flush the toilet, then go to wash my hands at the sink. When I turn the water off at the sink (toilet still running/filling), I hear a loud banging in the water pipes. This is a second floor, master bath. I don't hear the banging in the pipes if I wait for the toilet to finish filling and then use the sink. Any suggestions? Explainations? Help! Thank you.
