Best Answer

Water lines hammering in the walls and or attic, is a easy fix, by installing a water hammer on your main water line to the house coming from the street. Normally you hear this when your automatic sprinklers come on.

If it's a isolated area, say the Laundry you can also install water hammers here as we'll, before jumping the gun, go up into the attic about where you hear it, and check for broken straps.

What are plumbing Rough-in stops?

Roughed-in plumbing refers to plumbing (water and waste lines) installed for future fixtures, for example, a bathroom in a basement. Stops refer to shut-off valves on water supply lines, required to shut-off the water to repair the fixture that they service. So "Rough-in stops" are shut-off valves on supply lines that are roughed-in. If they were not roughed-in, you would need to break concrete floor (to install waste lines) if/when you decided to add a bathroom to your basement family room.
