Moin,

I suspect this is more a stretching problem here:

Floors are laid with a circumferential joint to the walls. This gives the floor space to move. In cold, he pulls a bit together and in warmth he expands. Depending on the size of the room, the length change can be up to one centimeter in one direction. So that you do not see this joint, you will be covered with a footbar.

If one would leave the joint, and put the covering directly against the wall, the floor would not have space, and would destroy itself by stretching and shrinking. It came to cracks and bumps in the ground.

The footbar is therefore fixed on the wall rather than on the floor. Because then the floor under the footbar has easy play, and the bar itself always remains on the wall.

For me, it looks like the bar has been attached to the covering with you, so that it moves along during shrinking of the covering, and then pulls away from the wall. The fact that the coating shrinks slightly in winter is totally normal.

I dare to doubt that this comes from moisture. Except, it ran a lot of water behind or under the bar, and you didn’t paint the water quickly again. Then the bar could swell and press away from the wall.

If it really bothers, you could make the gap now from above with some acrylic. You’ll get it in the building market.

Greetings

This looks like if they put the floor a little (low down)het. This, however, is not a problem because of moisture or heat, but a purely optical deficiency. Sittings are after a renovation (maybe the screed was renewed? floor heating installed?) not unusual or even usual. Simply brush the edge and finish.

Can come from the moisture

What humidity are you talking about? Do you have a wet problem?

Do you have an old building with wooden beamed ceilings? If so, then moisture can be a big problem.

Are the footbars rather horizontally torn off from the wall, or rather vertically down? On the picture, I can’t recognize that. When the whole construction is lowered, it can be a hint of damage to the beams. However, this cannot be explained by remote diagnosis using a photo.

I’d close it fast.

Mice love this just that you don’t let mice in the apartment after that the stress starts right!

It has nothing to do with moisture. Fill with acrylic nud. But stick the footbars off reasonably so you don’t screw them up.

Alternatively, the footbar can also be placed reasonably on the wall.

How am I supposed to know? You should look at the footbar. By the way, this is not really a skided footbar, which would be much higher and would be attached to the wall with holders. Here seems to have been glued, the floor has moved a little, which is normal and thus this bar is torn off the wall. I would remove it and use a reasonable footbar that is high enough to work with holders.

In the partly tiled bathroom, nothing of this.

Tiles also do not go as can happen in laminate or wooden floor.

If the bars were secured in the wall with a few screws, they would still have to be fixed at the places where screws are. I can’t see anything like that in the picture.
