Determine pressure level

To understand the cause of the flaw, since it can be high pressure, do a small test: open the tap and close the tap - that's all you need to do.

You may have heard a buzz after the cold tap is closed, then it's high pressure. What to do if the tap of cold water buzzes, you will find out below.

Important! Here are a few more points to consider: the faster the sound, the higher the pressure in the pipe, and the volume indicates that the limit is exceeded.

Solving the problem is not very difficult: you need to install a special air chamber on the pipe, in front of the crane. It will absorb sudden pressure jumps in the pipe.

Camera operation: the air inside the chamber is compressed and softens the impact during the crane closing. There are two ways to install the camera:

• with the help of a special additional pipe section;
• with the help of a special silencer droning tap.

Important! To compact the elements of the system, do it by means of tools or invite experts of this field. As a result, various vortices in the flowing water will be lost and the mixer will stop buzzing.

Crane Repair

A very common reason for tapping a crane is a crane-axle gasket that can be improperly installed, defective or worn out. As already mentioned, this is one of the most frequent reasons why a tap in a bathroom is buzzing.

Let's see what to do in this case:

1. Determine from which tap the unwanted sounds come in, alternately including cold and hot.
2. Overlap the flow of water with your own hands.
3. Disassemble the crane-axle, it contains the same gaskets that we so need.
4. Replace the gasket - you can not afford to buy good quality gaskets, they are not so expensive.

Important! A crane is a device necessary to regulate the water supply. Usually located under the valve.

It is said that the ceramic crane is a life buoy against unwanted sounds, but that's not the case, even ceramic tap-changers, if not properly handled, sufficiently worn and improperly installed, will produce bad sounds.

Important! The most possible cause of leaks and "buzzing" of a crane with an installed faucet made of ceramics is a sifted silicone washer, which is necessary for pressing ceramic elements of the element against each other.

To resolve the problem, proceed as follows:

1. Disassemble the crane axle.
2. The silicone ring is covered with plastic.

That's it, the problems have not happened!

Toilet bowl

The toilet bowl is another reason for unnecessary noise in the apartment, let's take time for it. Usually, when assembling a drainage structure, an intake pipe is placed on the intake valve, which, at one end, drops almost to the bottom of the tank. When the water in the tank starts to fill and the tube closes, the noise disappears.

The reasons are as follows:

• the tube has flown;
• did not put it in the assembly for some reason.

How to fix the situation:

1. Simply put the handset back if it flies.
2. For the second reason, it is necessary to select a suitable piece of plastic or rubber tube and install it in the drain tank.

In this article we have considered the main causes of the emergence of extraneous noise plumbing. All repairs can be safely performed by yourself, and you can call specialists in the plumbing field, they should do everything perfectly. Since the pipeline is not the very last reason for the floods, do not forget about it, because from time to time its parts wear out and they are worth changing. Do not skimp on such things, because if it happens irreparable, it will be too late to think. You'll have to spend much more money for major repairs, perhaps not just a bath, not just yours.
