Hey Homeone community, I
’m looking for some expert insights regarding a constant popping noise in my roof. It’s not just related to weather changes. A building inspector has checked it and mentioned some bad workmanship—not all joints are flush—but nothing "significant" was flagged.
I’ve spoken to the builder, who insists there’s nothing to worry about. However, the noise is persistent day and night, mimicking the sound of wood joints slowly detaching. Initially, it was only on the right side of the house, but now it’s happening all around randomly. The house is about 3.5 years old.
I’m trying to figure out:
- Could this be normal house settling and frame adjustments?
- Or is it something more serious that I should be concerned about?
- If a general building inspection didn’t flag anything major, who else should I get to inspect this?
Would appreciate any advice from experienced carpenters, builders, or anyone who has dealt with a similar issue. What steps should I take to ensure the roof is safe? Thanks in advance! [img=16x16]https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t80/1/16/1f64f.png[/img]
