OT: Pipes that goes EErrrrrrrrr

Check the water pressure within the house. Should max out at 60psi. You may need to take multiple readings. The street water pressure will sometimes change during the night as local reservoirs(tanks on the hills) are recharged. Getting a new pressure regulator may not help if the regulator is not set correctly.

So what am I looking for? Over-pressures? Under-pressure? Bouncing pressure? I agree with the filling tanks… and we do live close to the pumping station so it makes sense and I kind of suspected it but the question is what to do about it.

And no I am not here for VMWorld. I am working on a project for my carrier in Las Vegas and have been commuting back and forth for sometime… All I can say is that everytime I get off the plane I truly feel blessed to live in San Diego.

Thanks,

When we moved in, we had pipes that would clank / whine / sputter loudly in a downstairs wall in the morning.

It has went away, but I’ve lost track of what change did it. We’ve changed out the faucets, the toilets, the hot water heater, we’ve bled the air out of the lines a couple of times for various reasons. Probably one of those things fixed it, but I have no idea which one.

We haven’t switched out the water pressure valve though, so that wasn’t it in our case.

Seriously, at 2 AM, when there is no water running through your pipes, it’s really unlikely that it’s the water pipes making the sound. All of the responses so far seem to have followed your lead, and tried to explain why the pipes are creaking. In Vegas? During a summer night? If it’s not the toilets running, it probably has nothing to do with water unless there’s a leak. Water hammer is a result of moving water, as is the clicking that some older meters can cause. Thermal creaking is the result of rapidly changing temperature. All highly unlikely at 2 AM.

On the other hand, in the middle of the night?

Dude, it’s ghosts.
