    Banging / Knocking / Chattering Pipes?
    Hello, My situation is as follows. The pipes in my utility room will bounce and bang from time to time. I believe I have it narrowed down to taking place when a cold water source is open and a hot water source is open at the same time. For example, when filling my washing machine, if I choose the warm setting it will bang. While this is happening, I can switch the setting to either hot only or cold only and the problems goes away.
    Thank you for your time. Mike
