Hi
I would really appreciate if anyone could offer any advice on this.
I'm in a 3 bed semi-d, 1 bathroom upstairs, toilet downstairs, re-plumbed 6 years ago, pumped system.
For several weeks now, everytime either toilet is flushed, a few seconds later a loud humming noise begins and continues for about a minute. If it's the upstairs toilet, the noise will stop temporarily when the tap is turned on.
My husband tried restricting the flow into the cistern of the downstairs toilet (with a clothes peg on the plastic pipe in the cistern) - this seemed to reduce the noise from the downstairs loo alright but not completely.
Then on the advice of our plumber, we replaced the ballcock in the tank in the attic - this had little or no impact.
Is there anything else we can try before having to get a plumber in?
TIA
Dannad
