Hi - we had our whole townhouse re-piped with CPVC(?) pipes about a year ago. Now we are getting a vibration in the basement whenever any faucet is shut off. You turn off a faucet and then about 5-10 seconds later you can hear the low rumble from the basement for a few seconds.
I can see and put my hand around the vibrating pipe. It's near where the water line comes in from the outside. The pipe is attached to the drywall with some metal brackets.
My question is...
since I know exactly where the vibration is - how do I stop it? Or at least silence it? I'm guessing the drywall is acting like a "sounding board" for it and making it louder.
I've tried jamming some thick cloth between the pipe and the drywall, but that didn't help much.
Should I try taking off the brackets and letting the pipe more-or-less hang free of the wall?
Thanks,
Donk
