Soon after flushing the toilet I hear a sort of rattle- rumble sound coming from the wall where I assume the pipe is located. The house is about 26 years old and Im not sure what kind of pipes I have. this wall is located opposite the toilet.} Could you give me some idea of what this might be ? Sean

Help!Any quick closing valve will cause a water hammer. You my want to install a machanical shock arrestor near your boiler suppy. This should solve your problem.
