Leaks, clogs, no hot water, and too much noise are some of the most common problems that people can experience in their home when it comes to plumbing. When it comes to noisy pipes or other sounds that may become annoying, there are a couple of things that you can do to help limit some of the noise. Using some adhesive backed felt that is cut into strips and then used on the hanger part of a hanging pipe can prevent the pipe from making a grinding noise when expanded and water is flowing though it. Another useful tip for eliminating unwanted noises coming from appliances and areas is some expanding foam. The foam will create a type of seal which will greatly cut down on vibration and sounds all together. The foam can then be trimmed down to fit the area more neatly without excess overflow. Both of these methods can be used in multiple ways anytime you are looking to eliminate unwanted sounds or vibrations in your home.
Nobody wants to step into the shower/bath and turn on the water to have a light sprinkle that’s not capable of doing the job how it should. On the other hand, its also very undesirable to have water pressure that is too strong. Excessively high water pressure can cause a lot of stress on pipes and fixtures which can eventually lead to damage. If the water pressure is too low then you may consider investigating a possible leak or the build up of debris. Either one could be the cause of low water pressure and is worth looking into. You can buy a water pressure testing kit to to confirm if the pressure is too high or low. Anything above or below a psi of 30 is cause for action and investigation. If you can not locate the cause, then you can always reach out to an expert for professional help. When in need of any plumbing service, you can find top notch care using a 4 fast plumber.
