Hey there, first time posting something like this. Thanks in advance for any advice!
This new to us house (built in 1976) has a problem with the hot water. It always happens with the dishwasher and kitchen sink, often happens in the main bath, but rarely happens in the second floor shower. When the hot water turns on, the pipes bang loudly and the water pressure fluctuates. The banging sound corresponds to the pressure fluctuation.
What would be the cause? Here is a video, I hope it’s clear. The sound wasn’t picking up the banging because the water was loud, so I walked around the corner. But yes, the bang is loud! I am sitting in bed listening to it now as the dishwasher runs.
