New house. Ventilation conduits under the floor make a bong/bong noise when a person walks across the floor. How can one eliminate this sound? Seems to recede on cold days when vent conduits carry warm air and return on warm days when air conditioning directs cool air through the system. |

Is there a crawl space? Can some one near the ducts in order to "tune" them? A bit of insulation between the floor and the duct might work. Sound like a trial and error job for a patient handyman. |

The ductwork is not properly supported. I am a home inspector with TMK Inspections. You can visit us at www.tmkinspections.com. There are codes that the builder/sub-contractor should have followed to properly install the ducts. These can be obtained for your state registrar of contactors. I work out of Scottsdale, Arizona. Our state publishes a minimum requirement for builders that can be viewed online. First, go back to your builder and they should fix it. If that does not work call your registrar and file a complaint. They will get you some satisfaction. Good Luck. |
