Of course, now the biggest problem is the home builder built the counter out over the top of the tank. This is most common when a drip irrigation. I trimmed the gasket ends with a utility knife and the tank stopped leaking. HiCustomerbr />The noise you describe is often caused by a back flow preventer on an out side faucet. What had happened there was the gummy gasket they put in had accordioned up a bit and was stopping the flapper from seating properly. Doesn't surprise me, the upstairs master bath toilet had the same problem shortly after we moved in (though with periodic normal tank refilling noise instead). It's been 8 hours or so since the last noise, I hope I've got it licked this time.Īfter a few hours, the toilet tank drained, so I'm guessing we do indeed have a flapper leak. The good news is I shut the water off to the toilet nearest the noise and I haven't had the noise again yet. But I'd guess that a PRV would be outside a wall and visible, or have an access panel, neither of which exists, so.no PRV? Well, obviously it goes to the rest of the piping in the house, but it goes into the wall and then I don't see it again till it pops out at the various fixtures. The main water comes in to the wall on the other side of the garage from the water heater, and where it goes from there is a mystery.
Well, I don't even know if there is a PRV. Try tightening the screw the washer in the faucet stem. This can cause it to flutter in the water stream causing the various sounds listed in the heading. I saw a suggestion that it could be the ballcock on a toilet, but it doesn't match any usage of the taps or toilets. If it only happens when using a certain faucet the faucet washer may be loose or damaged. I'm at a loss of ideas of what it could be and am getting a bit desparte for a fix.
Zuma, and Skye are trying out and listening to different truck horn sounds. In addition, we had someone out to look at the water heater and while he did replace the gas piping (and found more pipe dope) and fixed a minor noise issue with the baffle, he found no other problems.īut, as of ~8am this morning, the noise is back. 20 EpisodesLiberty Makes a New Friend Liberty mistakenly brings a bear into. So we fixed that and then we had no problems last night. I had PG&E out to look at the gas and they found a large piece of hardened pipe dope in the pipe and figured that was the cause. House is 2 story, about 4 years old, we've owned it for about 1.5 years and never heard the noise till now. On the other side of that wall is our downstairs bath (shower, toliet and sink). Due to the randomness and the short time span, it's been very difficult to localize, but it seems to be comming from an area near our water heater in the garage. It happens at random times and at random intervals, and doesn't seem to corrolate to usage of any apliances or faucets. A few nights ago, my wife and I awoke to a foghorn noise in the house (and no, we don't live next to a lighthouse).
