Well, that's a relief! Glad it's not serious. We're putting in a new water softener too. DH will take care of ours.Ok. Plumber called. The kids had taken video of what was happening with the toilets after the horrible sound. The plumber says, it's a terrifying sound. It's just air. It's happened in his in house. Says people explain it in different ways. Sounded like an earthquake! Or, sounded like a Train running through the house. YEP.
Yesterday the fence guys came and used the outside faucet for what was probably the first time in close to a year. I heard pipes rattle when they turned it on and thought just that, it's been a while since that's been turned on.
The plumber said since the water was off for a while..remember I was upset when we did our walk through that the water was off, well the heat was on and that's good. Anyway, air settles in the pipes after a a while.
Soooo, Blue was right! Our house had a big burb!
He's going to come by and check things out anyway. He isn't worried because our water pressure is still good. Plus we'll have the old water softener taken out. Need a new upper upper canister for the water heater too.
