OK so here it goes... I flushed the toilet the other day and it sounded like it was going to explode! gasping, banging, sputtering, LOUD whirling noises. After that, every toilet faucet, appliance in the house is doing it! Pipes are banging & I think that it is alive! It seems to be just the cold water. It scares the out of me. We checked the basement and nothing is leaking or broken inside the house. We figure it is air in the pipes. So we replaced the air tank in the basement because it was really old and we thought had a bad bladder. Then bled the pipes. That did not work everything is still banging & sputtering.
Please help! We are on well water & have a newly replaced septic system. We have a 18 yr old furnace that makes its own hot water (no seperate water tank.) Our outside faucets are shut off due to winter here in the northeast.
Could this be an outside leak between the well & the house?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
