A water hammer arrestor absorbs the shock that makes pipes bang. Here is how Conway homeowners can have one installed.
What it does
An arrestor contains a sealed air chamber or piston that compresses when water stops suddenly, absorbing the shock instead of letting it slam the pipes.
Where it goes
Arrestors install near the offending appliance — usually the washing machine or dishwasher — on the supply line, where they catch the surge at the source.
The install
A pro adds the arrestor to the supply line, sometimes in pairs for hot and cold. It is a quick job that ends the banging for good.
Pair it with a pressure check
