Quick answer

Gaps between walls and floors

A growing gap at baseboards or flooring can mean the floor system or foundation has shifted.

What homeowners notice

  • baseboard gaps
  • floor pulling from trim
  • uneven transitions between rooms

Possible causes

  • sagging floor structure
  • settled supports
  • foundation movement

When to take it seriously

Note whether the symptom is new, widening, back after repair, paired with water, or showing up in more than one part of the home.

One cosmetic issue may not need structural repair. Several symptoms together should be checked.
