Plumbing Question 176

Question:

How do you stop a loud horn-like noise that occurs after you flush the
toilet?

Answer:

Make sure the shut-off valve under the toilet is open all the way. You are experiencing “air hammer” which is usually caused by a leak drawing in air when you use a fixture. You could also have your plumber install an air chamber on the shut off under the toilet to prevent this problem.
