Question: What should be done if drying symptoms, like gaps or cracks, appear in the flooring?
Answer: Most shrinkage gaps and cracks can be easily repaired using appropriate caulking or wood filler. In many cases, wood flooring will return to its normal state in the spring or early summer as humidity levels rise, though minor separation is considered normal. To minimize drying symptoms, ensure your home’s humidity is maintained at the appropriate level for the time of year.
