Hello,
We recently but a new tank and associated piping plumbed along with new piped gas combi boiler etc.
The last couple of days there is a loud groaning, shuddering sound when running hot water, particularly in the morning. At a total uneducated hunch it feels like it might be pressure related. The sound comes from the hot water tank and pipes area.

I'm trying to get a hold of the plumbers. To be honest I dont have huge confidence in them due to a few issues we have had now. Any ideas what could be the cause of it?
It gets quite loud at times, loud enough to wake up others in the family.
Thanks!
