    Banging soil stack
    Hi,
    I recently had a bathroom updated and have noticed a banging in the waste lines after flushing the toilet. Its not related to the supply lines, it is in relation to the waste moving down the stack. The floor is closed up and access is not good to these lines. Is there anythign I can do to alleviate this?
    Thanks

    Not much if the pipes are PVC. We seem to get more noise from PVC stacks then we do if they are cast iron. Regards, Tom
