Why is there A Space Between My Floor and Wall?
Help, I have noticed a space Between my floor and wall and the floor and the ceiling. This is a classic foundation problem symptom. This is usually indicative that the structure holding up the floor or wall bracing has settled or become weak and is no longer providing support. The settling has pulled the floor away from wall.

What could cause the support to begin failing and damage the foundation. It is almost always due to the presence of water or to be more specific the improper drainage of water. This leads the soil becoming too soft and not being firm enough for support. This presence of water often times lead to wood rot, decay, or even the presence of termites which can damage the wooden support structures for the foundation of the home.
The issue will not go away. Foundation problems never become stable on their own. Turning a blind eye to a foundation problem is simply going to lead to extensive damage in a short period of time. When you start seeing issues like this in your home you should at the very least have a foundation inspection conducted just so you know the extent and cause of the damage.
