AboutCarolyn Expertise I have worked in Electrical Engineering for 27 years in power distribution, but I am a handy homeowner more than anything else and have a lot of skills when it comes to home repairs. Bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting, reconditioning old wood items, plumbing, car repairs and troubleshooting most problems. I think of myself more of a teacher than someone that is going to tell you exactly what you have to do, but I will share as much info as I have to help get your problem fixed, so if you are not interested in learning then don't ask me a question or rate me if you don't like my answers. To me, it is all about the journey so lets share the trail for a short ride and see where it takes us!
I also want to give thanks to both my Mom, who has passed and my Dad, who raised us with the "Can Do" attitude and instowed such confidence in not only my life but everyone that ever came in contact with them.
You can do anything that you set our minds too if only you can break it down into pieces and just tackle one piece at a time, for the rest will fall into place.
Experience My greatest accomplishment was finishing my first bathroom upgrades in my first home which helped me to sell my home is less than 3 days by myself with a For Sale By Owner sign and no more. Plus I got $10,000 more for it in just 4 years of owning it, now that is great equity.

Question -
I have water knock any time of the day or night.
It happens in the wee hours of the morning when the water has been off for several hours. It doesn't do it when you turn off a faucet like other water knocks I have had.
Answer -
Hey Bud,
It sounds to me like you need a loop put in at the end your line to stop this darn noise. This is not my speciality but this is what I have been told works, OK! Hope it helps and good luck!

Answer Hey Bud,
A loop is a circle at the very end of the pipe line under your house opposite the incoming line. It prevents the jack hammer by giving a place for the water to backup to is my guess by allowing the pressure a place to cirle, at least from what I have been told. I had one under my home and it did work until I paid someone to replace all my copper to PVC piping and he didn't put one back in, I may have to do that myself, and now i have a little of it every now and then, darn it! I hope this clears that up and good luck!
