“Air locks” (or bubbles) in your water pipes can occur after a temporary interruption in water pressure from a municipal water supply or replacement of a burned-out water well pump. Air may also get trapped in the plumbing after a new pipe section or joint is installed. When air enters your plumbing, you may feel it coming from the faucet, accompanied by a loud banging sound that can be heard throughout the house (this is called the “Water Hammer Effect”). You don’t need to call a plumber to get air out of your home’s water pipes.
