[Help] Plumbing Oddity

[pearl]

Not sure if anyone can help ... it's pretty weird tbh:

I live in a ground floor flat with a basement flat below. They've got a dishwasher under their kitchen sink.
My kitchen is directly above. When they run the dishwasher it causes a stop/start/stop/start banging in MY kitchen pipes??
They haven't heard this (so far). Fortunately we get on well and are trying to resolve this together.
Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks

Water hammer of some sort.
Is the plumbing connected or 2 separate supplies?

Early guess, fit a non return valve on the dishwasher supply.

I'd be surprised if it took more than 5 minutes...

Now, I'm no plumber, but I would suggest an accumulator / expansion tank may be the solution?
This is really a cheap and easy solution. Possibly.

One mains supply (to three flats), but pipework separate, we all have individual stopcocks

Thank you!

I've been reading about hydraulic pressure in water pipes and stuff .... never knew plumbers were so brainy

I'm not qualified, but would suggest water pressure is not the problem there.

We could do with a supply of stopcocks for certain NSC posters.

I also am no plumber; I haven't a clue. But I would have turned off the water supply and then run the pipes empty before embarking on any "under the sink" work.

I think that might have helped here.

No damage done, the lady owned a domestic aqua vac.
