MasterPlumbers
When the water shuts off on the dishwasher or shower the pipes
make a loud rumble for several seconds. What causes it
and how do I fix it?thanks

Mack,
the problem that you have is not uncommon and can usually be fixed by the installation of a water hammer arrestor. The sudden shut off of the water
supply to the dish washer causes the pipes to hammer or shuder as you have described.
There are a number of model and types available and
they should be fitted by a licenced plumber.
I do not know where you live but if it is in Australia then use the
good quality plumbers that are availble with the system.colin Dunn

I have the same problem in my home. When the
washing maching kicks on it seems to set off a toilet
stool at the end of the hall (other end of house)
and then the copper pipes rattle like a fright
train for anywhere from a few seconds to a few
minutes. At the same time the stool valve seems
to kick on and let more water into the tank. Some
times this is everytime the valve opens in the
automatic washer and other times it goes away for
days and then starts again. What have you found
out from others? Would you mind sharing? Have
you found the solution?
REGARDS!
