    Chugging noise after water used
    AS soon as I flush the toilet, take a shower, or run water of any kind in the house, I hear a "chugging" noise coming from basement area where the heat/air conditioning and water heater are located. I can't seem to locate the actual place the noise is coming from but it's my guess that it has something to do with water being brought into the house.

    Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks.

    That type of noise is usually associated with air in the water line. Try opening all of the faucets and hose bibbs in your hose for a minute and then closing them.

    It seems to have come back. Is there any way to stop this from happening?
