lol. i can't remember the last house i've been to that has an access panel.
Finally a homeowner on this show that's older than 45 and looks like a real person.
It doesn't hurt to write a date on them. Applies to furnace filter, anode rod too
Oh! How convenient... we have an access panel.
The arrestor is not only there to quiet the noise, the arrestor is really there to prevent damage to your piping. The shockwave caused by the rapid closing of the valves can damage your piping over time.
"I have a cutaway". Richard always does!
Excellent job
He said he heard the sound also with the dishwasher on the first floor and washing machine in the basement. Wonder if that took care of all the problems.
👍👍👍👍👍Thanks for sharing !
I would have preferred to see how it sounded when the play in the pipe was fixed before installing the hammer device because now we don't know what fixed the problem.
Can those be placed anywhere in the house or do they have to go close to where the sound is coming from?
"What do you hear?"
Just so happens theres an access panel lucky
Satisfying.
Wow. What a convenient place to have an access panel. Looks like I need to cut one of those
Good
Amazing
Easy job for Richard. He didn't even put on his little tiny glasses and didn't mention plumbers putty.
let's replace the access panel BEFORE we test out if it worked, LOL
