I inspected a house today, when the hot water is opened there is a terrible banging in the pipes, I guess air? What are recommendations to give for this?

Thank you

I wanted to say it's water hammer, but it's not when the valve is bbeing opened or closed. It happens while the water is running. The water would be queitly flowing, then the banging starts till the water is shut off

Is the water supply coming from a well? Could be getting air in the holding tank. When I lived in Stamford, CT, we had the same issue. Every couple of months I had to bleed the air from the tank, and then it would go away for awhile.
