Plumbing Problems

Vibrating or banging pipes – caused by “air hammer” or “water ramming”.  This occurs when there are air bubbles bouncing around the water line, due to air being drawn into the line from a small leak.  Call a plumber to find the leak and fix it.

Air bubbles back-flowing in toilet and drains gurgling – main sewer line is plugged or near plugged.  You need to have a rooter service snake the main line.

Plumbing problems are less likely to occur in new homes for obvious reasons.  Here’s a checklist on how to maintain the value of your home.
