Are Plumbing Noises Not Letting You Sleep at Night?

When you wake up in the middle of the night due to unusual sounds coming from the ceiling and or walls around you, chances are you have pipe issues in your second-floor bathroom, the next-door kitchen, or even the laundry room. These weird sounds ruin your peace at night because you don’t know what’s causing the annoyance.

Some of these noises are just bothersome but you can easily fix them while others may be symptoms of a bigger problem. What’s the Culprit of These Plumbing Noises?

There are some typical reasons that can cause these unusual sounds. Here’s a shortlist for some of the sounds you’re hearing:

The “water hammer” effect may be the cause for bangs, clunks, or clangs. This happens when the water flow is interrupted abruptly causing a shock wave that runs through the water pipes.

The solution can be as simple as shutting off the water faucet quickly. When you have these symptoms, you may need to replace or unclog the arrester as it absorbs the shock wave created by a sudden water flow stoppage.

Installin
g a water arrester on each water line supplying your fixture in question solves the problem most of the time.

Banging and clanging noises are caused due to unsecured pipes when water makes its way through the system. Adding metal clamps nailed to the wood structure securing the pipes will fix the problem.

When hot water starts making its way through cold copper pipes, they expand and whatever they come in contact with, either metal or wood causes the ticking or creaking noise. Once you stop the hot water flow, the copper pipes cool down and the expansions-contractions stop.

A rattling and popping sound may be the cause of mineral buildup inside the copper pipes. The metal coating inside the pipes creates air bubbles that create a reaction to hot water.

Another culprit may be high water pressure that needs adjusting. When the water pressure is too high, it can result in damaging toilet or faucet values connected to the waterline.

Professional plumbers with our Orangeville residential plumbing service will uncover any underlying problems with water pipes or fixtures and will recommend any additional services. You are just a service call away, to let your local plumbers come in and check your plumbing system for repairs it may need before they turn into a bigger mess and more costly situation.

  • Gurgling Wall or Ceiling Paint

    The first barometer you have a plumbing issue is a gurgling wall or ceiling paint. If you have noticed this issue, it is a clear indicator you have an excess amount of moisture. Water leaks in the water pipes or the attic are the typical cause of this plumbing problem.


    Although you may easily ignore any blistering or gurgling in your surface paint, or when you start to see brown spots appearing on your ceiling or wall, don’t let it pass. Early detection of water leaks is paramount for you to explore the problem further to make sure you do not end up with a plumbing headache on your hands. A reputable plumber like Plumbs Up will investigate the issue for you and ensure your issues are rectified quickly.

  • Interior Leaks

    Have you ever been home alone, watching a scary movie and then in a moment of silence you suddenly hear some water dripping from your kitchen? You go and try to follow the sound of the drip and it does lead to the kitchen but there is no leak or drip. You return to your sofa and resume the movie and here it is again! The dripping sound! Sounds paranormal but to us it sounds like a classic example of an interior leak before it seeps into your home’s structure and weakens the foundation to a point of extensive bills or worse! Let professionals conduct a test right away to rule out the leak.

  • Watermarks

    Wet bruises on your walls or ceilings. Now let me explain what these are, these wet bruises are commonly known as watermarks and these mysterious marks or stains can be pretty alarming. It can tell you where there is a potential leak or where there is a tear in a pipe. In some cases it could also mean that a pipe has burst and now that is causing the water to flow out of the pipes and onto the wooden structure causing them to weaken over time. To avoid any long bills it’s always a great idea to call in your local Orangeville residential plumbing service experts from Plumbs Up and have it checked immediately.

  • Over the Counter Chemicals

    Sometimes quick fixes can be slow deaths, at least for the environment it is. Trying to fix a clogged drain with any over the counter chemical can cause many environmental problems and only harm us at the end. It is always a safe bet to call in professionals who can perform the job in an eco-friendly manner. It also rules out any other faults that would have gone unnoticed otherwise and would have led to an expensive repair in the future.

  • Faucet Drip

    Sometimes we can avoid something as small as a faucet drip before causing many annoying problems, for one an absurdly high-water bill. It literally takes five minutes (depending on the complexity). Do not wait it up, give us a call. Every minute and every dollar is important.

  • Clogged Toilets

    Having anything clogged is the worst but especially if it’s your toilet! We also understand that sometimes people can take matters into their own hands and fix surface/minor clogs themselves. A good drainage system is an essential requirement throughout the house. You may find clogs in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the basement for some laundry or even in the backyard. It is such a significant part of the whole plumbing system that if anything were to happen to restrict its functionality, the whole place would turn into havoc.


    A very common problem that many people face is having a clogged-up kitchen sink because its usage is daily and sometimes extensively. Chances are you may get weekly blockages due to the constant use you give your kitchen.


    Now, some extra drainage cleaning acid here and there might compel you into believing that everything is all good inside but sometimes the left-over oil starts to pile up and starts to collect the left-over food or other particles that go inside the sink’s drainage pipes. One by one, little by little it clogs to a point of no excess. This is why we take it seriously and go deeper into the source of the problem to fix it for you, so you would not have to face any such issues again. Our experts are knowledgeable plumbers who know the insides of the drainage systems so well that they perform on it efficiently and effortlessly.

  • Annual Inspections

    Now reread all the problem scenarios and think of the best possible solutions to prevent your lovely home and yourself from these messy situations. You guessed right, annual or semi-annual inspections. Its just like going to the doctors every few months to rule out any chance of getting linked to any disease. The inspection would similarly rule out any chances of leaks, clogged sinks, clogged toilets or clogged bathtubs. Inefficient water pressure, gas leaks, irrigation pipe leaks, burst angel leaks. Water heaters and in-house wall heaters. In case we find something of urgent fixing, our professionals can get right on to the matter at hand to proficiently and smoothly fix the problem for you. 

  • Angel Burst Stops

    Our services also include the prevention of burst angel stops, as they are the leading cause of flooding in homes and here’s how we intend on stopping them from taking over your house. There should be an inspection of these pipes and ideally, replaced after every 5-7 years. The reason behind the frequent change Is to avoid any corrosion caused by the water, or if roots have started to grow into the pinholes. That causes the water to slowly start leaking and that can cause the weakening of your home’s structure. In some extreme cases, you can have internal home flooding. We have not even covered the part of the roots sprouting from the insides of the pipes. When tree roots start to grow a lot, they can cause heavy pressure clogging that can in extreme cases cause any bursting of water pipes.

  • Water Pressure Regulator

    Homeowners should also avail of the services of getting a water pressure regulating device installed that regulates the frequency of the water pressure and to control the pressure in case it is high or low so that you and your family do not compromise on your standard of living.


    Water pressure regulators are valves that reduce water pressure coming from the local utility supply line into your home’s main water line.


    The regulator is designed to reduce the water pressure for plumbing fixtures in a home to operate at a safe level. Excess pressure may cause major issues to most household plumbing fixtures reducing their lifecycle.


    The City of Toronto is classified into six operating levels or zones that result in 12 separate pressure districts. The City of Toronto has selected each zone ground level elevations so that the water system pressure in any given zone, under normal pumping conditions, ranges from a minimum of 275 kiloPascals (kPa) to a maximum level of 793 kPa.


    Before submitting a service request with 311 Toronto to investigate low water pressure, please visit the City of Toronto website.
