Loud Thud On Roof

I keep hearing a thud from one corner of my house from the inside.

Loud thud on roof.

First check your basement or crawl space below the spot where you hear the water sound. It comes from all around the room. It literally sounds like someone punching sheetrock. Its not all in one area.

What you re hearing however is the effect of low temperatures on the building materials. The noise could be coming from your roof during the hottest days of the summer when the rays of the sun beat down on the shingles. There are loud banging noises coming from our attic roof. It is unrelated to plumbing usage or to start and stop of hot water heating system.

It happens commonly but i have not timed how often. Very loud mysterious thump in the ceiling above the first floor of 3 story house. It is very loud on the first floor coming from different places on the ceiling not so loud on the second floor. Most of the noises seem to be coming from the top of the walls.

Awakening in the middle of a cold night by repeated loud banging from your home s roof can be quite alarming giving rise to visions of falling tree limbs or intruders on the roof. If it s coming from the radiators you may have condensed steam. Right now it is 8 degrees f outside. It could be that the forces being applied aren t equal on the roof beams supporting the roof in that part of your house so your roof will make noises because the forces aren t being distributed.

The thump occurs several times a day usually in the evening. Or something like those huge booming noises glaciers make when. It sounds as if something is hitting the outside of the house but looking around the outside does not reveal anything like loose siding that might be flapping in the wind or something. A water leak inside a wall can destroy wallboard and insulation and lead to mold or mildew problems.
