Ardmore Remodeling Inc. - South Houston General Contractor Spotlight in 77058
General Contractor tip: Many of the homes we see in South Houston and the 77058 area can use some quieting of noisy pipes. Pipe can make a loud banging noise when faucets are turned off or when valves on clothes washing machines shut abruptly. The sudden stope of flowing water creates a shock wav, called a water hammer, that slams through the water supply system. Some pipes may knock against wall studs of joists, creating additional noise. This can be a nuisance and we are happy to help.
If you are in a DIY mood, you can stop water hammer by installing an air chamber. An air chamber is simply a vertical length of pipe installed in the supply line. An air chamber provides a cushion of air to absorb the shock wave of water hammer. More than one air chamber may be needed to stop water hammer completely. No matter what your remodeling needs our, we are here to help, anywhere in Houston!
