Listening to what your house has to say is an important way to prevent damage to your home. The following are a few noises your home might be making that signal something is wrong:
- Running water – If it sounds like the water is running but no one is using it, there may be a leak somewhere. You can do this by looking for any water damage, which we can help restore.
- Noisy furnace – If you hear a booming sound, it’s because the burners are not lighting properly. This will get worse if you don’t call a professional to come fix it and can become a fire hazard.
- Footsteps – If you hear scurrying noises, then you may have a rodent problem. Not only is this unsanitary, but they could chew through electrical wires and cause fires.
- Buzzing lights – A buzzing light is usually the sign of a loose connection, which could lead to an electrical fire if it’s not fixed.
- Hissing sound – A hissing sound could be a gas leak, which means you need to evacuate the house right away and contact the gas company or emergency services.
