Tapping noise from the waste pipe when the shower/ bath is run

Anonymous user 1 March 2024 - 2.33 PM

I get this pretty loud tapping/dripping noise from the down waste pipe through the kitchen wall everythime the bath is run/ shower is turned on. It sometimes happenes with the toilet and sink as well. Would it be contracting pipes due to the outside/ water temperature? Thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi Your pipes could not be secure (Clipped) or you need to look at the washers.
