loud poping and creeking.... : (

Hi there. I have a one story house that was built in 1990. It is brick veneer and has high ceilings with no attic or basement. My only problem with this house is that it "creeks" and "pops" a lot in the early morning and when it starts to get dark. The temperature change really gets to it. This bothers me because it can get loud and can sometimes wake you up. There are about 12 "roof vents" all around the house and was wondering how I can fix this. Thank you. Frank

knapz1,

Welcome to the forum.

I normally hear about popping with temperature change when the siding material is attached so tight that it cannot easily expand and contract with the temp or room has not been left for it to expand around trim/vents. Can you isolate the sound to one area of the facade?

Good luck, Jim
