MasterPlumbers
Ever since we had some (unrelated) plumbing work done in another part of the house, which required turning off the mains water supply, one of our faucets has been making a loud “machine-gun” noise whenever it is turned on. Do I just have a bad washer in the faucet (coincidence), or could this be related to the other work (maybe an airlock)? If so, how do I clear it?

Forget about an “airlock”. Air is removed from pipes the first time a faucet is used. It is either a worn stem, or a bad washer. It is also most likely a coincidence or something that was going to happen and turning the water off just speeded up the process.
