In plumbing systems, air can get trapped in the top part of the pipes. Water moves past these air pockets, creating small bubbles. This action can cause loud vibrating or ticking noises. In worse cases, the air pressure can cause water to shoot from the faucets. This trapped air can even cause loud thumping sounds when the water is turned on. To remove the air as well as get rid of any noises, you should know how to bleed plumbing pipes. In some cases this process can be completed without opening a pipe. However, in others you will need to open a plumbing pipe to release the trapped air.
