Hey,
I've run out of places to search and things to try so I'm trying here
My house built in 2001 is having some pipe banging issues. As far as I can tell it's not water hammer (which happens with a sudden stop of water flow). The pipe bangs only when the flow rate is high. For example, if I just turn on one faucet nothing bangs, if I turn on two faucets..no banging. However, if I flush a toliet and turn on the bath, the pipes will bang as long as there is the flow demand.
I've tried draining the pipes from the lowest point several times but that has not fixed it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this myself?
