Hello - Every time I run my washing machine or dish washer, the pipes bang when the water is shut off during their cycles. I've also noticed the toilets in the house also give a light bang when shutting off. I've had a water arrestor installed on the washing machine line but that hasn't helped. I have also had the whole townhouse water pressure adjusted to a safe, required level as well but the knocking continues. My questions are...
1. Is there anything I can do to stop the knocking of pipes? Would the walls need cut into in order to inspect and fix the knocking?
2. What's the liklihood one or more of the pipes could burst within the walls if this isn't repaired?
Thank you for all advice and help!
