Gutters banging in rhe wind.

As i sit here in bed trying to get some sleep i cannot. There are loud banging noises coming from our attic roof. Most of the noises seem to be coming from the top of the walls. It literally sounds like someone punching sheetrock.

The water leaks are coming in to. Blow dry the hair while styling it into position. Birds hang out in gutters when water pools. If not loose sometimes if the hangers are too far apart the gutter sheet metal will buckle in and out making a sound sort of like flexing a cookie sheet or pie tin back and forth a metallic flutter sound.

Its not all in one area. Shifts in temperature trigger expansion and contraction that pull brackets out of place. Sound like the bracket is broken where it clip over the gutter which you won t be able to see from below so the gutter is lifting slightly in the high wind. Banging noises coming from the kitchen floor.

To prevent leaks and water damage gutters need to cling tightly to your home. A tinny scratching sound could be a bird s feet in your gutters but this points to a different problem. You won t know until you get up there. Place a round brush under the bangs with one hand and hold a blow dryer with the other.

Over time entire sections of your gutter may hang loosely by a few short screws. You should have a gutter bracket at least every 1 metre. Our house is semi detached and we are on a corner of a cresent so get the brunt of rain wind. But heavy wind rain and snow can loosen your gutters hold on your roof.

The rivet gun tapping one by the window might be gutter or a loose piece of flashing or siding or trim flapping in the wind. If wearing bangs in sections blow dry one side and then the other.
