ADVICE:
I purchased an apt in the fall. I had the floors refinished b/c the finish was worn away in spots, but the different planks and pieces of wood were mostly in excellent shape, and tightly fitted. In the past month, cracks have developed btwn different planks (see first two photos). (Third photo shows good section of floor, the way the messed up sections used to look too.) Since I wasn’t here last winter I can’t say if the same thing happened then due to wood contracting in winter, and then resolved itself in the spring. I’m freaking out that my floors are slowly becoming ruined, and that they didn’t look like this when I bought the place. Does anyone have any knowledge of what’s happening and if it might resolve itself, if it needs to be fixed, can it be fixed, how much will it cost, etc…

THANKS!!!
