Why does the gas pipe vibrate and buzz in the apartment: causes of noise and solutions to the problem

Types of noise and its diagnosis

If water makes noise in the heating pipes during the operation of the heat supply, then there are certain reasons for the occurrence of this effect. First you need to identify them, and then proceed to reduce noise or completely eliminate it.

Why does water make noise in heating pipes and how to correct this deficiency? Let's deal with the main types of extraneous sounds. They indicate the objective factors for the occurrence of an undesired effect:

• Crack in pipes. Occurs when the heating system is turned on;
• Clicks that appear at regular intervals;
• Constant hum in highways;
• A barely audible knock.

All these extraneous effects - noise in the radiator or radiators significantly reduce the comfort of living in the house. In addition, they may indicate improper operation of the heat supply. If timely action is not taken to correct the situation, any heating element may fail.

If the heating pump or another component of the system is noisy, you should first try to localize the cause of extraneous sounds. To do this, it is recommended to use the following method:

• Track the frequency of occurrence of the effect.
• Try to identify the dependence - temperature increase in pipes, pressure surges, etc.
• Make sure that the noise in the heating boiler comes from it, and not from other objects in the boiler room.

If it was found that the source is a component of the heating system, certain actions should be taken to eliminate this phenomenon.

What to do to eliminate the hum?

Not all valves provoke a hum. The cause of noise can be mixers or faucets of outdated designs, with valves, as well as half-turn crane boxes.

Modern ball valves or joystick-type mixers do not have gaskets in their design. Therefore, they cannot enter into resonance with water pipes.

To get rid of the noise, sometimes there is no need to buy a new faucet. Often enough dismantle the crane boxremove the gasket and repair or replace it. Such elements often hang freely on the stem or have tapered edges.

Loose hanging gasket should be replaced.A deformed, irregular shape can be cut with scissors. Then the faucet box should be assembled and installed in the water supply. If the repair is done correctly, then there should be no more noise.

The simplest solution for an obsolete valve design is to replace it with a newer ball valve model. High-quality ball structures cause fewer problems during the operation of the water supply system.

The same advice can be given for obsolete faucets. Replacing the old faucet with a new model with one lever is the best solution to the problem.

Constant hum

Pipes with a constant and continuous buzz, especially at night, are more annoying and disturbing than others. Similar defects appear in old steel mixers, with errors in installation, repair or connection of the pipeline. Different pipe diameters also cause hum.

To get rid of the constant and incessant hum, it is necessary to apply air bleeding from radiators and heated towel rails. Excess air in the radiators forms an air lock, resulting in an air lock. It provokes the appearance of unpleasant noise and blockage inside. In addition, batteries may start to heat up worse.

To bleed air, you just need to open a special faucet. If the procedure did not bring the expected result, check the basement pipeline. To do this, you will have to contact the management company or housing and communal services.

In the basement, flanged valves may be installed incorrectly (against the flow direction, and not in the direction of the arrow on the body). In addition, the valves can simply become outdated, then the fasteners wear out and become loose. In case of poor-quality installation, equipment wear, you need to replace the latter or reinstall it.

Determine the pressure level

To understand the cause of the defect, since it could be high pressure, do a little test: turn on the tap and turn off the tap - that's all that needs to be done.

You may have heard a buzzing sound after closing a cold tap, which means that this is high pressure. What to do if the cold water tap is buzzing, you will learn below.

Solving the problem is not very difficult: you need to install a special air chamber on the pipe, in front of the tap. It will absorb sudden pressure surges in the pipe.

Chamber operation: the air inside the chamber is compressed and softens the blow during the closing of the faucet. There are two ways to install the camera:

• using a special additional pipe section;
• using a special muffler of a humming crane.

Checking radiators

As practice shows, the quality of the heating system largely depends on the integrity of its elements and the quality of their connection.

Before the start of the heating season, you need to check everything:

1. Firstly, how firmly the batteries are fixed and whether the brackets are loosened. This is especially true for cast-iron counterparts, since they can sag over time due to their weight.
2. Secondly, check the correct location for the radiators and their position in relation to the floor, wall and window sill, if they are traditionally installed under the windows.
3. Thirdly, the integrity of the plugs and their isolation.
4. Fourth, check the connecting nodes and clean them of rust, if any.
5. Fifthly, check the system for the formation of air jams, which can be done by unscrewing the Mayevsky tap.
6. Sixth, after connecting the batteries, you need to check them for leaks.If there are any, sealant can be applied as a temporary remedy and technicians can be called in to either fix the leak or replace the element.

If all these works are carried out before turning on the heating battery in the apartment correctly, then with possible noises in it, it will be possible to exclude the question of its integrity and look for the true cause of the sounds.

thermal expansion

In the author's practice, there was a rather curious and exotic case: the source of annoying noise turned out to be ... elongation of the steel DHW riser during heating.

Cause

In a dead-end DHW system (or in a circulating system in the absence of continuous circulation in the risers due to an air bridge between them or an incorrect connection scheme), the temperature of the pipes is constantly changing. When parsing water, the riser heats up, and in the absence of water intake it cools down.

Dead-end DHW distribution: water heats up only when it is parsed

In full accordance with the laws of physics, pipes lengthen with each increase in temperature. If the riser touches the reinforcement in the floor panel, the friction of metal on metal will become a source of unpleasant and intermittent sounds.

Like any other material, steel expands when heated.

Solution

Noise is eliminated by removing the section of reinforcement that touches the riser. The hole in the ceiling is sealed with a cement-sand mortar.

To stop the noise, it is enough to remove the armature from the riser

Use of vibration compensators in heat supply systems

It is possible to provide sound insulation of pipes by installing vibration compensators. In the presence of vibration and water hammer, the installation of special flange elements will help solve the problem.They are designed to eliminate mechanical influences and protect the heating system from unwanted loads.

If the vibration compensator is installed in a private household, then this should be done near the pumping equipment. When a problem occurs in an apartment building, these devices are mounted near the central riser from which the coolant comes, or at wall partitions.

Installation is simple and many property owners do it themselves. This method of soundproofing eliminates the main noise irritants transmitted through the pipes.

If it was not possible to deal with the problem of the presence of noise in the system on your own, and the heating pipes in a private house are still clicking or there is a rumble and clicks in the radiator, you should dismantle the heat supply structure and install it again, but with the help of specialists.

In conclusion, it should be noted that it is impossible to foresee all problems with the heating system, and individual cases in general can be unique.

Pipe hum due to water hammer

The cause of clicks or knocks can also be a phenomenon such as water hammer. The reason for it is that water under the action of inertia forces cannot instantly stop in the pipe. If there is a temporary suspension of water circulation in the system (for a variety of reasons), then the water, sharply bumping into an obstacle, hits the inside of the pipe. This is called water hammer. You can control the flow of water depending on the temperature using special regulators.

Water hammer can occur anywhere in the system. Including even the underfloor heating system.Accordingly, in this case, the knock will be heard under the floor. The length of the pipeline can affect the strength of the water hammer. In the underfloor heating system, it is the most dangerous, since here the pipes are folded into a very large length. Water hammer is also dangerous if a thermostat is installed at the outlet of the heating system. Structurally, it can withstand pressure up to 4 atmospheres, in this case, knocking is not observed.

This figure shows the water pressure in the system and the cause of water hammer.

Noises in the heating pipe

There are also two reasons for noise in the heating pipe - this is a narrowing of the pipe, turning into an obstacle in the path of water flow, and a leak in the heating system. It is clear that it is not difficult to detect a leak. But the first reason will have to tinker. It is logical that the narrowing in the riser of the heating system will turn out for you a lower radiator temperature than that of your neighbors. An obstruction to the flow of hot water can be a screw valve with a faulty valve, a half-open valve, or a piece of scale or slag that has stuck somewhere across the pipe. It is easy to deal with a half-open valve with your own hands, but the rest of the points require the intervention of the management company.

Battery Cleaning Scheme

Noises in the heating system in the form of knocks can also occur in radiators. There are already three reasons for this - thermal expansion at a variable temperature of the radiator, a broken valve valve or small particles in the water stream.

I found the source of the noise in the heating pipes!

Let's start small, with the smallest particles of slag, which, by tapping on the pipe walls, create extraneous noise. You can try to remove them by flushing the heating system. If there is a flush tap, you can do it yourself, if not, then it is better to call a plumber.

A broken valve is a common problem with all helical valves. Moreover, a damaged valve can completely block the flow of hot water, leaving some apartments without heat. And in the best case, with a slight misalignment, it can randomly change its position, causing chatter, and from time to time block the pipe clearance, thereby causing water hammer. In these cases, the management company must immediately repair the heating system by replacing the damaged valve.

screw valve

The neighbor doesn't know...

And finally, the third reason why the pipes in the heating system are buzzing is from a knock in the radiator, which is fixed on steel supports and is usually located under the window, which we often open to ventilate the room. Opened - the temperature of the radiator has decreased. Closed - increased again.

So, at the slightest movement of the device, as a result of slow expansion-compression of the metal, creaks will occur, similar to rare tapping. To eliminate them, it will be enough to lay a fluoroplastic plate between the steel support and the contact surfaces of the heating radiator.

I want to remind you that the noise in water supply and heating systems is only a part of the tones in the polyphonic sound palette of the pipe “symphony”, but we have considered the main ones.

It's good if you don't have to call a plumber for buzzing pipes

On this hopefully optimistic note, I want to end this article on the repair of heating and plumbing systems. I think that after that everyone can figure out why the pipes are buzzing and fix the problem with their golden hands, or with the hands of management companies. Finally, I have a question for you: “Do the neighbors from above bother you with their noise?”.Why did I ask? Just in the next article, we will look at how to protect yourself from noise from the top.

How to determine the cause of the noise?

If you notice that even a slight noise systematically appears in the area of ​​​​the gas pipe, then before calling the emergency service, we recommend that you independently understand the reasons for its occurrence.

A normal soap solution can be used to test the pipeline for leaks, and never be tested with a lit match.

Uncharacteristic sounds in the gas pipeline may indicate a serious malfunction that requires urgent attention from specialists.

In this case, you will need to carry out a thorough, simplest diagnosis of the gas pipeline:

Check the pipeline for gas leaks. Moisten with soapy water the places of flange and threaded connections, in the area where bubbles should form in case of gas leakage.

If the gas comes out in a strong stream, then in any case a distinct buzz will be heard, reminiscent of the sound of a descending ball, and a bright smell of gas will also be felt.
Pay attention to the tightness of the fasteners. Touch the gas pipe and try to stir it. If the pipe loosens from side to side, and the vibration or noise disappears immediately after it is manually fixed to the wall, then the problem lies in the “walking” fastening.
Watch the frequency of the noise

If the vibration, accompanied by a weak hum, occurs on a regular basis, while the same gap is observed between each “audio accompaniment”, then most likely it is your neighbors.Perhaps they installed a hood or refrigerator close to the gas pipe, which is why every turn on of the device is accompanied by a noticeable vibration throughout the pipeline.
Look closely at the flames of the burners. When burned, the gas has a clear blue color, while the presence of an orange flame indicates the intentional mixing of gas with air. If you hear a noticeable rumble or vibration in your kitchen in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe gas pipe, then first you should set fire to the burner and take a closer look at the flame. The reason for the noise may lie precisely in the large volume of air entering along with the gas.
Check if the nozzles are dirty. The burner is a nozzle responsible for the gas supply. If it is dirty, there may be problems with the flow of gas, because of which you can hear the gas pipe buzzing in your apartment. If you notice that the intensity of the flame has noticeably decreased, then most likely the cause of the noise lies precisely in the contamination of the nozzle of the nozzles.

The very first thing to do, as soon as you notice an unusual sound inside the gas pipe, is to check the equipment for gas leaks.

The orange color of the flame with a characteristic crackle indicates that the gas was mixed with air during transportation

A minor leak may be accompanied by a faint smell of gas, often invisible to many people, so the only way to detect a malfunction is with a soapy solution. In the event of a leak, immediately close the gas valve and call the emergency service.

Knocking in water pipes

Sometimes tapping can be heard in the pipes in the bathroom. Such a defect is typical for metal products. Tapping is observed in certain areas that are in contact with the floor or walls. The problem may lie in the valve that has broken.

Knocking at the points where the hot and cold water lines are attached to the walls indicates a vibration problem. Air lock in the pipes also causes extraneous sounds.In this case, we also bleed excess air.

Knocking occurs when the installation is incorrect, when the connected pipes are too close to each other or even touch each other. To eliminate unpleasant noise, place a gasket or part of a rubber band between the contact points and secure with reliable tape.

If the problem is not excess air and the lines are not close, you need to tighten the threaded connections of the external fasteners. If the pipes are buzzing at the location of the mixer when you open the tap, you need to replace the locking box or gaskets of this box.

Whistle in the gas column

Geysers are characterized by the sounds of a burning flame and flowing water, but sometimes they are mixed with a monotonous high-frequency whistle. Sometimes it is so loud that it is extremely difficult to endure it even for a short time. Both the gas path and the water path can whistle, so first you need to figure out exactly where the sound comes from.

To do this, turn off the gas valve from which the column is powered, and turn on the hot water. By the absence or resumption of the whistle, it will be possible to determine where to look for its cause. If everything is quiet, then the gas path should be recognized as responsible for the infernal serenade, and in the event of a repetition of an unpleasant sound, the water path.

Most often, the cause of such a trill is a structural defect in the valve, which is responsible for modulating the flame.

Whistling in this case is observed only in one specific power range, when an ideal combination of valve clearance width and gas flow velocity occurs for it. To get rid of the problem, just change the position of the regulator up or down.With a decrease in power, the gas flow rate will become insufficient for the appearance of sound, and with an increase in the working clearance of the valve, the working clearance of the valve will be too wide.

Another possible reason is a blockage in the gas path.

Usually this happens due to the ingress of a foreign object, for example, scale or a piece of winding. In this case, the whistle is usually observed in a wide power range. To determine in which particular section or node a blockage occurred, the gas path will have to be disassembled, examined and cleaned. For such work, appropriate qualifications are needed, so it is better to entrust it to the masters of Kievgaz or a private company that has a license for this. It happens that an unpleasant sound comes from the water path.

The reason, most likely, is again in the blockage. In this case, a decrease in heater performance should be observed. In addition to a foreign object, this can also cause scale on the inner walls of the radiator. It begins to appear if the water temperature in the column regularly exceeds 60 °.

It is often possible to get rid of a foreign object using a reverse flow. To do this, you must first turn off the water and gas supply to the heater. Then unscrew the liner at the inlet and let the water flow in the opposite direction. The easiest way to do this is with a bathroom faucet, setting the shower switch to neutral and opening both taps slightly. To remove lime deposits from the column radiator, you will need a decalcifier.

You can also use a solution of citric or acetic acid. Before starting work, it is better to remove the radiator, so it will be more convenient. The agent must be poured gradually, adding as the reaction subsides.After filling the radiator, the liquid is drained, and the procedure is repeated 3-4 more times.

Residents of apartment buildings often encounter such an unpleasant phenomenon as the hum of water pipes. Moreover, residents of apartments feel this acoustic noise throughout the riser, and sometimes the entire house.

Where does it come from, for what reasons does it appear, and are there methods to combat it? According to theory, there are many explanations why the pipes in the apartment are buzzing. In practice, four main reasons have been identified that cause it to occur. And they can be eliminated.

We will talk about this below. The most common causes of annoying rattling pipes are: Poor repair. The occurrence of hum in pipes may be due to their loose connection or unprofessional installation. Excessive pressure in the water supply network. This reason is likely when the water pressure is too high in the tap when it is blocked, the noise increases. Such a problem is associated, as a rule, with complex repair work on the water supply route and the managing organization should deal with it. Reducing the internal diameter of the water supply (the so-called "infarction" of pipes). This occurs in houses where major repairs of engineering systems have not been carried out for a long time. Pipes overgrow with salt and rust from the inside over time, which reduces their diameter.

The water pressure remains at the same level, which is the reason for the rattling of the pipes. In this case, it is recommended to replace the metal pipes with plastic ones.Moreover, unpleasant sounds are emitted in all apartments, and not only in the one where there are problems. And in order to identify the problem, you need to turn off the inlet taps in each apartment in turn. And now we suggest that you dwell on each item in more detail.

2 Typical malfunctions of circulation pumps

Compliance with all the rules for operating the device does not guarantee uninterrupted operation of the unit. Breakdowns can occur that do not depend on human actions: a filter is clogged, voltage drops, etc.

If the engine does not turn on, but the pump does not create a buzz and other strange sounds, it is worth checking the fuse. It reacts sharply to power surges and, if the engine is threatened, melts, thereby opening the electrical circuit. In this case, the fuse must be replaced, after which the device will return to normal operation.

If the failure was not in the fuse, you should check the mains wire, the circuit breaker in the junction box and the electrical wiring. Perhaps a section of wire or switch needs to be replaced.

After checking the wiring, it is worth going to the winding of the electric motor. Its serviceability is checked by measuring the resistance. The multimeter should read 10-15 ohms. Some units are equipped with a starting winding, the resistance of which is 35-40 ohms.

If “infinity” is displayed on the multimeter, then the winding is out of order. And with readings closer to zero, an interturn short circuit occurred. In this case, turning on the device is accompanied by the operation of the fuses in the panel.

Circulation pump testing

Modern devices have a low noise level, so often the owner of such a unit cannot understand whether it works or not? To diagnose the device, they use an indicator tester for the rotation of the shaft of the circulation pump, which, without the mains, will show whether the device is working properly. To do this, you need to bring your indicator to the motor shaft and the scale will show whether the shaft rotates or does not work at all.

When the circulation pump buzzes, but the shaft with the impeller does not rotate, you should immediately turn off the unit, because the motor winding may burn out. There are several reasons for this failure:

1. The shaft is not working due to downtime in the summer. For the same reason, the impeller sticks to the body. In this case, it is necessary to disassemble the device and manually turn the shaft. Manufacturers took into account such a moment, so a notch for a screwdriver was made on the shaft.
2. The impeller is not spinning due to a foreign object in the chamber. After removing it, the system will resume operation.

2.1 Why does the circulation unit heat up?

The temperature of the device must match the temperature of the heating medium pipes. If it rose higher, then errors were made during installation, or improper operation takes place. The circulation unit may heat up for the following reasons:

New generation circulation pump device

• initially incorrect installation. It is not difficult to determine the problem: the pump heats up at the initial stage immediately after installation.
• blockage in the system. During prolonged operation, deposits and rust accumulate in the pipes, which leads to a decrease in the passage for water.The device is overloaded to ensure normal circulation of the coolant. In this case, the engine overheats, but unscheduled maintenance can cope with the breakdown.
• foreign body. With slagged communications, pieces of rust or plaque break off from pipes and radiators, which, when they enter the device, jam the electric motor. If the device is not disassembled and cleaned in time, the motor coils may well fail and the device will simply stop turning on.
• lack of lubrication for bearings. With an insufficient amount of lubricant, the bearings are poorly lubricated and wear out quickly, which leads to a reduction in the life of the unit as a whole. If the engine is stuck as a result, the pump is dismantled and handed over to a service center.
• low mains voltage. At voltages below 220 V, the motor overheats and quickly fails. In the first minutes of overheating, it is worth checking the voltage in the network with a voltmeter, because the problem may not be in the pump.

2.2 The device works, but does not pump coolant

One of the problems that happens with heating units is the operation of the pump without pumping water. There are four reasons for this condition:

• air ingress or water leakage, which is eliminated by repairing holes and cracks in pipes;
• improper adjustment of the heating system. The malfunction is solved by checking the correct position of the valves (primarily to the pump);
• no water. It is worth repairing such a malfunction by supplying water to the device.
• Blocked or stuck valve. To fix, repair or replace the valve.

Why do water pipes buzz when the faucet is closed?

If, regardless of whether the taps in your house are closed or open, the hum of the plumbing is heard in the apartment, you need to start fixing the problem from the basement.

In the basement, find the riser from which your water supply is powered. This is easy to do if you compare the location of the risers with the layout of your entrance. You can also navigate the stairs.

If you find a water leak in the basement, then you can hardly do without calling a plumber. Contact the organization servicing your home and call a specialist. He will have all the necessary tools with him, and he will probably be familiar with the plumbing connections in your basement.

In addition, this way you will not leave the residents of the entrance without water by twisting something wrong or accidentally damaging any valve

It is also important to remember that in the winter season, hot water in the mains can be very high in temperature.

Repair of such a line requires special care, because it is fraught with burns.

If no water was found in the basement as a result of the inspection, then it is necessary to ask the neighbors if something is leaking from them.

Finding a bad gasket in a kitchen faucet is easy. Gasket damage causes hot water to enter the cold water faucet because the pressure in the hot liquid riser is almost always higher.

If a survey of neighbors did not bring results, then you can walk along the highway and try to determine by ear the blockage in the bottlenecks of the pipe. Most often, pebbles fall into valve bodies or at the junctions of two pipes. To check the valve, you can also try to see if anything is preventing it from fully opening and closing.

Air locks

Cold batteries are usually caused by air preventing water from flowing freely.

Air lock is formed for several reasons.:

Oxygen bubbles accumulate in one of the batteries or at the top of the heating system. Because of this, the lower part of the radiators will be hot, and the second half cold. And also during the operation of the equipment there are gurgling sounds. In multi-storey buildings in the uppermost apartments, the boilers completely stop working.

In old apartment buildings, many pipes have long since expired. Therefore they can cause accidents and reduce the level of heat. Microelements contained in the coolant are deposited inside the pipelines. They impede the normal circulation of water. The correct solution would be to replace the products, but this is not always possible.

Scale layers form on the inner surface of the boiler, which reduces the pressure in the system. This problem leads to the use of hard water, saturated with minerals and salts. Special reagents must be added to the equipment, which soften the qualities of the coolant.

Corroded or improperly connected pipes cause leakage. If it is located in a prominent area, then it is easy to seal the hole with sealants. It is more difficult to deal with a problem hidden in a wall or floor. In this case, you will have to cut off the entire branch, fix the problem and mount a new section. In addition to sealants, you can use special parts to clamp the pipeline, corresponding to its diameter. If it is not possible to purchase such devices, then it is enough to make a clamp. The place of leakage is covered with a piece of soft rubber and tightly fixed with wire.

If a leak is detected on the radiator or its junction with the pipe, the hole is wrapped with a strip of cloth, after soaking it in construction moisture-resistant glue.Sometimes cold welding is used. To avoid such problems, before the start of the heating season, the entire system is inspected for damage. Be sure to start the boiler and check the quality and reliability of its work.

How to get rid of extraneous sounds in water pipes

Let's start our raid from the basement, if you constantly hear a buzz in the pipeline. Find your risers if for some reason you didn't know where they were. Hint - navigate the stairs, starting from the entrance and ending with the first floor.

Did you notice a leak? Then you have two options:

1. arm yourself with the necessary tools and go to fix the problem. But, if you are not 100% sure what you have to work with, it’s better to deviate from your plan. And use the second way.
2. Submit an application to the Housing Office.

Assume that there are no leaks and the basement is completely dry. The task becomes more complicated in time - you need to walk through each apartment from your riser. Ask the owners if their taps are leaking.

By again? Then there is a long and tedious way - to look for a place where a piece of scale prevents water from passing freely. You can find the problem on pipe connections or in the ventilation housing.

Now we need to figure out what to do when the noises sound only intermittently. Moreover, it is easier to describe the problem than to fix it. Most often this happens with neighbors who for some reason are in no hurry to correct the situation. In an apartment building, this can take more than one day, since you will not find every one of them in your apartment.

As mentioned earlier, knocks also occur in pipes. So, it is necessary to find the source of such sounds.Look and listen carefully, as there is no recommendation where in your case you need to hit with a hammer in order to stop the annoying noise

In order not to inadvertently break something important, contact the locksmiths

What to do when there is high pressure in the plumbing system and you are able to reduce it yourself? The following equipment must be installed on the pipes:

• air chamber. She takes on all the excess pressure. You can use the factory blank or do it yourself. When you install a muffler, the pipes will last much longer.
• Hydraulic accumulator. Looks like an empty tank. Excess water on impact is dumped into it.
• shock absorber. An elastic tube made of rubber or plastic is installed on a specific section of the pipe. At high pressures, it is able to stretch and extinguish the water hammer.

But there is one catch - this equipment will be useless if liquid is supplied to the plumbing system with a colossal admixture of air.
