I would replace the leaky faucet.

" We're getting 'water hammer' (clanking of a pipe) when we turn off our hot water in the kitchen."

Is this a new thing - or has it always been that way?

Did you, by chance, remove the aerator on the faucet?

New thing. Didn’t remove an aerator, but we just had the section of the house underneath mostly repiped due to a pinhole leak, we also were away from the house for 6 weeks and did not turn off the water. I did try flushing the system (I’m new to doing that) but it didn’t seem to work.

Have you considering having a handyman look into it or have you only hired an inbred plumber to resolve it? The solution is replacing washer or simply tightening washer screw.

Inbred. Yikes. Handy man coming Saturday.

Washer screw in the faucet? Or water pressure at the valve? Any tips?

Install water hammer arrestors.

Washer screw in the faucet. The screw that is removed in order to replace washer.

@Mr Avocado what['s the story here? You shouldn't ask these 100 pound questions then go hop-scotching off like answers don't matter.

@klem1 Well I need someone to do the work then I’ll hop scotch back to this forum of inbreds to fill you in.

@Mr Avocada That's the sprit,inquiring minds need to know when and if advice helps. BTW I've never used such derogatory term for any profession other than plumbers and if you ever hire one I think you'll see why.
