Hi

I've checked several forums but could not find a situation like this one so I am posting this message.

I hear a dripping noise in the bedroom wall when quiet especially in the night when trying to sleep, its annoying. It is a room away from the bathroom and turning on any taps or such does not affect the dripping. There is also no signs of dampness. It's a ground floor maisonette with one above.

Any advice would be very helpful as to how to pursue this

Thanks in advance

Hi SM

From your description this sounds to be a case of the building simply expanding and contracting... can sound exactly like dripping. The intensity or occurence/non-occurence of the dripping can/will depend on the different seasons and ambient temperature fluctuations... ;)

If you see no wet spot AND you are sure there are no water pipes nearby I would just keep an eye out for any obvious signs. Otherwise, just like so many other people with theses issues, you'll get used to it over time.

Hi Mark

Thanks for your quick reply

There is a CH rad on one side of the wall but even in the early morning when it hasn't been on for hours it still drips.

I'll keep my eye/ears on it

Thanks
