1. Gurgling

Sounds imitating a gurgling noise usually come from multiple sources. For instance, you can hear them from the vents, pipes, and even the sewer line. Gurgling sounds are an indication that your pipes are either blocked with sediments like small minerals and food wastes or that there's a lot of air in the system. If this sound is coming from the sewer line, it's possible that roots may have penetrated the pipes and are blocking water from moving along.

2. Rattling

Pipes are in constant vibration. Over time, this can cause them to detach from their attachments to ceilings and walls. This is what causes rattling plumbing sounds. When pipes have been displaced from being fastened and mounted on walls and ceilings, they will start making noises each time water runs through them. If you start hearing such sounds, you should find a plumber to come to investigate further. In most instances, these issues can be resolved by mounting the pipes back up.

3. Banging

This is another abnormal plumbing sound that indicates something is wrong with your plumbing system. Usually, banging can be heard from your plumbing system when there's a foreign object stuck in the pipes. The sound is produced by the object hitting the metal or plastic pipes, as pipes usually vibrate when you hit them with something. If an object is stuck on your pipes, it'll keep making this sound until it becomes large enough to cause a blockage. Banging sounds can also result from too much air and water pressure entering the pipes.

These are the common plumbing noises you may encounter and what causes them. The moment you start detecting unusual sounds from your plumbing, you should contact Dean Plumbing Co Inc as soon as you can.
