Thank you - I will check the pressure on it and let you know. Worst case, I can just swap the tank if needed.

Hi Paul/ Everyone. Hope everyone is doing good. Paul - I did check the tank and I believe its almost to the end of its life. The top portion make a sound indicating water is in there. Midway of the tank makes the same sound. Past the rings, and a little further down after half, I get a...

Yes most of the problem is resolved. Thanks to all of you on here. I did install 3 access panels. one 16x18 for the toilet just in case I have to get to the pump in the back of it. Once for the hot water and the other one is for the shower valves. The cold water can be access through the...

I checked the tank, and it seems to be in working condition. The valve under it is clear and white. According to the instructions written on the tank, the valve under it will turn black or will be full of water. Also, the tank was installed 3 years ago.

Thank you Ekrig and Paul. I will check that tank and follow the directions you've posted. If everything goes well, then I can higher the water pressure without worrying about the pipes banging. but if not, I'll just leave it as it is. Thanks again

Thank you Everyone for taking the time to help me with this. I added two water arrestors on the line under the sink and another two between the lines in the wall. I also added two water pressure reducer valves where the lines are connected from the existing lines of the house. I dropped the...

I took the pressure this morning and it was reading 70 psi on the cold side. I dropped the whole house to 45 psi, but the pipes behave the same. at this point, I'm just going to redo the plumbing and remove the pipes from the back of the wall.

Hi, I just re-checked this. And yes, the pipes still bang as loud as they were originally. The first time, I probably slowly closed the faucet which was probably why I did not notice the bang. but I just rechecked it, and they do still bang.

Thank you Snoonyb. I'll reach out to the city now to see if they can help answer that question.

Hi, I did the test this morning but it doesn't syphon. While the water is on upstairs, the noise in the wall was hardly noticeable once the faucet was opened and closed. I ordered a pressure gauge from Amazon and should have it today. As Havasu stated to checked the pressure, I'm going to...

Thank you, I will try to adjust the pressure all together to see if that resolves my issue before I go and change the piping and open walls. It sucks that I just finished and painted those walls and I had to open one already. I installed two shut off valves where I tapped into the 3/4 pipes...

Hi, Thank you for your quick response. I installed brackets to hold the pipes firmly and there aren't any movement in the back of the wall. I also drained all of the pipes and let air back in the system which seemed to work, but only lasted a few hours.

Hi, Thank you for your quick response. I'm in New Jersey. The low water pressure is attached to the main line coming in. since I have not had this issue before the new plumbing was installed, I did not mess with the pressure. also, its a 3 story house. If I touch the pressure, that might drop...

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me before I have to call a plumber. I just installed a new full bath in my basement and every time I run the water in the laundry area (which is also downstairs) the pipes of the new plumbing bang in the wall. It happens every time a faucet opens /...
