Horn sound when hot tap is turned on
We keep getting a horn like sound from the pipe when we turn on the hot taps in both upstairs bathroom (mostly from here on shower and sink) and in the kitchen sink. It happens when we first turn it on, and we have to turn the pressure down for it to stop and slowly turn it up and then it's fine we had the boiler serviced recently
Can a main service pipe to a property be partially installed above ground
I have an iron main water pipe serving our property but flats have been built over the pipe so the pipe is situated under our neighbours drive way. Bristol water have said we can cap the iron pipe off and divert it up into our property and connect it to an internal stop tap. The pipe would come out of the ground and would need a white external box connected to it to then run through our home. It’s the first time I’ve ever have come across this issue within thesny years of living in my property the work to replace a pipe under a concrete slab foundation doesn’t sound cheap. What are my options was Bristol water safe to say this obviously they know their stuff more than me. I’m neurodivergent and I am highly anxious about the repairs and cost I can’t sleep at night the noise is triggering I keep thinking the worse can someone please reply
