Why are the boards in my laminate floor separating?

Question

I have just installed a laminate floor in my condo. I let the boards acclimatize for the specified period so I'm not sure why they seem to be pulling apart. I would love any ideas or ideas of how to fix without pulling up the whole floor. Thanks.

Answer 1

when you finished installing the boards and got up next to the wall, maybe you left too large a gap.  If so, the boards will separate.  There should only be a small gap left for swelling.  check that out first.

Answer 2

The humidity may be lower than it previously was, causing the wood to shrink.

Answer 3

wet possibly  dogs peeing  you walking on it with wet feet from shower or pool
