Scratching Sound In Roof At Night

It just keeps scratching just the roof space in our room only and no other part of the house.

Scratching sound in roof at night.

So you ve been hearing scratching and scurrying noises coming from your walls and ceiling at night and you re becoming concerned. Usually heard only when the wind is blowing or expansion and contraction of timbers and gutters as the roof warms up during the day or cools down at night. Our homes are the largest investments many of us will ever make therefore assuming the worst is an understandable reaction. Though it may sound like your walls are.

And thirdly many of the pests that creep around in our roofs and wall spaces are nocturnal meaning that night is when they ramp up their activity. It goes on between 2 4am. So no matter what scratching noise in roof or wall spaces you re hearing trust those ears of yours because you probably really are hearing the busy work of our creepy furry or feathery friends. For the past 2 nights we have been hearing a scratching sound in between the ceiling and roof.

Other causes of sounds in a roof can be tree branches rubbing on the roof or eaves. Most animals scratch in the attic to clear out space for nesting or maybe to bury food. 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.
