You have to ask yourself why is it popping? To stop it from popping by forcing it closed you did not solve the problem or the reason it popped? Forcing it shut did not solve the problem why did it pop?
If you’re in a house with a electric or gas water heater and stuff like this happens I could almost guarantee you you have a bad expansion tank! If your tank is anywhere between three and five years old and you do not know how to check it replace it before a huge problem can occur. If one of your water valves pops underneath your sink and it blows you have a disaster on your hands.
