    Roaring Plumbing Pipes Update
    I finally called a plumber. He asked where the roaring was most prevalent and I showed I indicated it was in the basement bathroom. He said there was probably a washer in the toilet that was weak and vibrating. He changed the insides of the toilet tank and we had no roaring last night! Sweet, peaceful sleep.

Roaring pipes? [ 1 Answers ]

This is a home that was built back in the late 60's/early 70's. Initially the first thing I noticed is with the basement toilet. It sounded like it was flushin' or refillin' on it's own.
