Hi folks,
My current home has 2.5 bath. The shower and sink in the 2nd bathroom (master as the main) has a clung/thump sound a few seconds after I shut off the sink faucet / or shower. It does not do this in the main bathroom faucet nor shower and only at the second bathroom.
I have read about the water hammering and the technique of solving the possible air bubble that is inside the copper line. I shut off the main water valve and open all the faucets to let the water drain first then lowest point of faucet / closest to the main water valve coming in from the house, then opened up all of the 2nd floor faucets. That didn't solve the problem at all and the clung, or single thump sound came back after I open up the 2nd floor faucet and let it run for awhile.
The sound is sort of *THUMP* follows with a stretching sound somewhere in the attic (as the main bathroom is on the 2nd floor. <attic on a level above.) I went up to the attic to see and no pipes are broken. I can hear in the basement too and wonder if this could leak to possible serious damages in the future?
please help.
