Could the pipes burst if there is a groan when the toilet is flushed?

Yes they can. In general, however, the "groan" is not as bad as the "hammer." When water is suddenly forced through pipes containing a sharp bend, the water can hit the side of the pipe as if it's a wall. The force of the water can burst the pipes. Most modern plumbing fixtures account for this "hammering." But there are lots of old pipes out there too!


Why do the water pipes groan when a faucet is turned on?

Water pipes may groan when a faucet is turned on due to a phenomenon known as water hammer, which occurs when there is a sudden change in water flow. This can create pressure waves that cause the pipes to vibrate and produce noise. Additionally, loose pipes or inadequate supports may exacerbate the sound as they move against surrounding materials. Air trapped in the pipes can also contribute to the groaning noise.
