That sudden knocking sound is known as water hammer, which happens when fast-closing electronic valves stop flowing water instantly, sending a shockwave bouncing through your pipe network. Left unaddressed, these shockwaves stress soldered copper joints and weaken appliance connections over time. Browse through options at https://pomplumbing.ca/plumber-on-demand/ to book an on-demand inspection. A qualified plumber can install commercial-grade water hammer arrestors and adjust your home's main pressure-reducing valve to permanently eliminate the noise.
