Water Pipe Making Noise And Vibrate Slightly

[Zio 1]

Hi all,

Recently the stainless steel water pipes in my house has this problem. Whenever two sides is using the water, the water pipes vibrate slightly and makes a noise continously.

Eg,

I just flush the toilet bowl, thus it is refilling the tank, I on the tap water to brush my teeth, the noise will sound, and after the toilet bowl tank stops filling up water, the noise stops....

What is the problem ? How may I solve this ?

I had similar problem.

After a few weeks , i could not tolerate further and tried to do something.

At first nothing worked , then i adjusted my toilet bowl pump after some fiddling and then no more noise!

BUt exactly how i am not too sure, i think i adjusted somepart upwards.

hope it helps.

or you can find out which part of the pipe is vibrating and add some pipe support around there.

this is usually what we do in industrial plant i guess it can work for home piping as well

I am thinking it has to do with my kitchen bathroom toilet bowl too....when I flush the toilet bowl, the vibration and noise is loudest compared to other water points in my hse....tonight i shall try fiddle with the pump like you say, se if it works, pray it works

Could be air lock in the pipe cause by some sediments acumulated and trap.

Due to this blockage, water cannot flow smoothly thus some air is trap.

Need to resolve this ASAP, otherwise in the long run, your pipe at the joint will leak

due to constant vibration. Worse of all if it is conceal

Yes....I know this problem must be solved if not i scared the pipes will cause major leakage...

Yesterday night, I think i found the main source of the problem, is the kitchen basin tap, the knob is loose, I press hard to keep it stable and the noise and vibration stops....have already tighten the knob, seems like this problem is sloved......

;) ;)

thanks everyone for the advise
