Why do my pipes bang when I turn off a tap?

That's called water hammer, often caused by high mains pressure or loose pipe clips. Fitting a pressure-limiting valve & securing pipes usually fixes it.

What is a pressure-limiting valve & do I need one?

A PLV reduces incoming mains pressure to a safe level for your home. It protects tapware, hot water systems & appliances. If your pressure tests high, we recommend one.

Can you install a new toilet suite I've bought?

Yes. We'll remove the old suite & install yours, or we can supply one for you.

We're about 5 km away in Rockingham, so most jobs are attended the same or next working day.

Banging Pipes, Leaky Taps & Water Pressure in Waikiki

If your pipes bang when a tap shuts off, your taps & cisterns keep wearing out, or your hot water relief valve drips constantly, high mains pressure could be the cause. Many 1980s & 90s homes were built without a pressure-limiting valve (PLV), or the original valve has failed.

We test your water pressure & fit or replace a PLV at the meter, which protects your tapware, hot water system & appliances & often stops the noise. The opposite problem - weak pressure - is usually corroded pipes, a partly closed valve or a hidden leak, and we'll track that down too.

Bathroom & Toilet Upgrades for Waikiki Homes

Lots of Waikiki homes still have their original toilet suites, shower mixers & basin taps. Upgrading to modern dual-flush toilets & water-efficient tapware saves water, looks better & reduces repairs. We supply & install, or fit fixtures you've chosen yourself.

A yearly preventative plumbing maintenance visit keeps everything else in check, and landlords can use our property management plumbing service. See also water filtration for better drinking water.
