Water hammer is that bang you hear when a valve slams shut and moving water has nowhere to go. It's not just noise — the shock loads joints and fittings and it will eventually find the weakest connection in your house.
We find out what's actually causing it. Usually it's excessive pressure, a fast-closing appliance valve, or pipe that isn't properly supported. The fix is matched to the cause: correcting pressure, adding arrestors, or securing the line.

Frequently asked questions
What causes water hammer — those banging pipes?
A fast-closing valve slamming moving water to a stop, usually made worse by high pressure or poorly supported pipe. We track down the cause and correct it, whether that's arrestors, pressure correction, or properly securing the line.
Is high water pressure actually a problem?
Yes. Pressure above roughly 80 psi shortens the life of every fixture, appliance, and connection in the house and can cause leaks outright. The fix is usually a properly set pressure-reducing valve.
What is a pressure regulator, and how do I know mine has failed?
It's a valve that reduces incoming city pressure to a safe level for your home. Signs of failure include pressure that's far too high or too low, large swings, banging pipes, and running toilets. We test it and replace it if it's out of spec.
Do you charge for estimates?
Estimates are free for most work. If your issue needs real diagnostic time, we'll tell you that cost up front.
