Everytime I turn on my shower a loud, screaming noise happens. What is Going on?

Answer 1

When you turn the taps fully on the noise probably goes right? At least it diminishes...

if that's so ... you probably need to change the valve, one in each tapset. The nylon valves deteriate in time and "jump"... that is they oscillate. I think this phenominon can be exacerbated by the build up of contaminates in the water... rust flakes, dirt etc..... anyway.. the solution is often a simple one.

BTW.. "water hammer" is a different problem.. often caused by inadequately clipped plumbing pipes.. it makes a rattle and clunk sound when you turn a tap off quickly.. washing machines are the scourge of a plumber's peaceful day... as they will often be the instigator of water hammer. From what you have described, your problem doesn't sound like it is a water hammer problem. A hammer valve will not solve your problem. Sorry guys... it probably simpler problem than that.. a tap valve should cost about 50 cents.

Answer 2

I use to get that too...but sometimes I think I hear the pipes rattle a little after the screaming noise. My guess is there's some sort of built up pressure in the pipes. At the time, my pipes were pretty old. But I had my house remodeled and during that time construction crew cleared my bathroom pipes and replaced some of them. But even before that I use to have my dad clear the pipes too. He had some long tube device that I think he rented from like home depot or something and It helped a little.

Answer 3

In my house it meant that I had air in my pipes.
That meant a couple of leaks that let air in even though little water got out.
Usually I have found that LOW Water pressure, for what ever reason produces that noise.
Get a plumber or a friend that is multi talented to help with the investigation!

Answer 4

Water pressure. A lot of water is trying to get through a small pipe. Nothing to worry about.
It could also be: when you pull the up tap to switch from the faucet to the shower fixture, the pressure has to switch from one pipe to another, and that sometimes causes that screaming sound- again nothing to worry about.

Answer 5

I had this problem and it was the part that diverted the water from the spigot to the shower head not sealing well.I replaced my spigot stopper and the noise went away.

Answer 6

pipes have a lot of rust in them mostly galvanized you can go to pluming store or Lowe's and buy a (hammer valve) install in cold water line they will explain how to do it cost about $10.00 and makes the air go in to small chamber in the valve .

Answer 7

specific, maximum in all probability low on playstation fluid, in case you park your truck interior the driveway and turn the wheel without shifting (on an identical time as the truck is on) and it nonetheless makes the noise then it somewhat is defiantly low on fluid, purely upload greater...

Answer 8
