What is water hammer?
The term water hammer refers to the noises and pressure surges associated with the movement of water through the plumbing system. When flowing water comes to a sudden stop, this is referred to as water hammer.
When a valve or tap is shut off, the water come to an abrupt stop. The momentum in the water turns into a pressure increase within the pipe, because water cannot be compressed. This pressure wave results in the banging noise.
