        "text": "Baseboards often pull away from walls due to seasonal shifting, foundation settling, or improper initial fastening. As indoor humidity levels fluctuate across Denver and surrounding Front Range communities, wall framing expands and contracts, which works nails loose. Another common cause is uneven drywall finishing near the floor plates. To fix this, an installer locates the wall studs or bottom plate, resets the trim tightly with finish nails, and applies paintable acrylic latex caulk along the top seam to seal gaps. If the drywall behind the baseboard is bowed, shimming or resetting the board ensures a flat appearance.",
