BBCA couple said their “whole house” shook when heavy lorries and buses passed outside and cracks had appeared in the walls and skirting boards.
Rob and Georgina Wilson said the problem at their 150-year-old property in Hornsea had got worse since work began on a site for a new housing development in the town.
The couple live on Westgate, a busy A-road through the town centre, which has previously been the subject of protests over safety as it is so narrow large vehicles are forced to mount the pavement to pass.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has been approached for comment.
Mr Wilson said the house shook so much that the chandeliers started jangling.
He said he believed vibrations caused by traffic shook shower tiles from the wall and caused a leak which forced him to replace his bathroom.
“If it wasn’t that we’d used construction materials that are designed to cope with vibration, I’m sure we’d be back to a ruined bathroom already,” he said.
Plans for 158 new homes on a site off Rolston Road in Hornsea were approved in February.
Developer Keepmoat said, while building work had not yet begun, an archaeological dig was under way on the site in line with planning conditions.
Mrs Wilson said a recent increase in traffic linked to the development had made the problem worse.
“We noticed a lot of big trucks going past on their way into Hornsea and, an hour or so later, they were coming back out again,” she said.
“Every time one went past, the whole house shook and this was happening every hour throughout the day and we’ve not had that before.”
“The chandelier shakes. It’s become really noticeable”.
