That's a common issue known as 'water hammer,' often caused by high pressure or loose pipes. It's important to address it to prevent stress on your plumbing. Ethes Mechanical can perform a thorough plumbing inspection to diagnose the exact cause, secure any loose pipes, and install or adjust pressure-reducing valves to eliminate the noise and protect your system from damage.

Absolutely. A professional plumbing inspection from Ethes Mechanical is a proactive step to winterize your home. We identify pipes in vulnerable, uninsulated areas like crawl spaces or exterior walls. Based on our findings, we can recommend and perform targeted repairs, install pipe insulation, or even re-route plumbing during an installation to significantly reduce the risk of freezing and the extensive water damage it can cause.

Yes, it could be. In winter, ground freezing can shift soil and put pressure on sewer lines, leading to cracks, blockages, or even collapsed pipes. Slow drains might be the first sign. Ethes Mechanical offers expert sewer inspection using camera technology to pinpoint the problem. We then provide precise sewer repair or, if necessary, full sewer installation to restore proper flow and prevent backups into your home.
