A professional plumber installed these long copper "detours"—shock absorbers that trap air to silence the problem.

The cost to a home-handyman-plumber? ...about $2. To me, this file-photo shows very generous lengths but it will depend on the length of your "run" to the washer.



Elsewhere, I've done the same installation with PVC without any issues: especially in a cottage with seasonal use, either type should work just fine.
