There is a creepy sound coming from the attic. It is 2:00 a.m. and all the children are accounted for. What is making that spooky noise!
We receive many calls about noises in the attic and from just about any other possible area you can imagine. Noises can be from animals or they could be man made. Electric motors, fans and trees rubbing against a roof are just a few of the noises that may be heard. Time of day and weather sometimes affect the noise. Homes expand and contract with rising and falling temperatures and these movements in the structure can cause noises such as popping and cracking.
One of the most memorable calls we received was a strange high pitched chirping in a home. The homeowner was absolutely certain that there was a Prairie Dog in their duct system. We inspected all the duct work and found nothing. Then we waited for the noise that it made periodically. Sure enough, the high pitched chirp came! It came from the smoke detector that had a low battery! Needless to say, that was one embarrassed homeowner!
If you suspect something in your attic or any other area of your home, be sure to check out a possible mechanical source or a natural one such as a tree. This may save you a call to a service company. But use caution when you are searching for the source of the noise.
Heck, someone even found a stranger living in their attic! You never know what you might find!
