2 Spooky Sounds Coming From Your Attic and What They Mean

Have you ever laid awake at night wondering about the creaks, drips, and bangs coming from over your bedroom? Or some mysterious location over the hallway ceiling?

Assuming your house isn’t haunted, several different things could be going on up there.

Shivering Your Timbers

With nightfall, cooler air descends upon your roof. The cooling will cause some contraction in materials, and a few noises typically come with that.

Even natural sounds, over time, can signal a weakening of your roof. Snow and ice can pry gutters from the roof.

Look for bends, bulges, and tiles or other rooftop material that might appear a little loose. If nothing’s visible, yet the sounds make you wonder, a professional roof inspection can reveal whether you have cause for concern.
