My boss, the chief Engineer here, called in a plumber and the plumber suggested among other things to check the mixing valves on the showers, so my boss now has us checking the mixing valves in all 76 rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, the only 2 floors of 13 where the noise is heard. I'm not a plumber by any means, but I do have a general knowledge of plumbing, and I just cant fathom how turning off the supply to an idle mixing valve in one room is going to stop the hammering in all 76 rooms. Has anyone dealt with commercial plumbing? Does this sound reasonable to you? Do you have any idea what could be causing the noise? Is there any way to fix it without draining the entire building?
I have been working here for about 17 months now, and when I started the noise was nonexistent, after a couple of months I got one complaint of a loud noise, then another from a different room a few weeks later, and it has snowballed from there to include almost every room on the 1st and 2nd floor
