Laminate flooring peaking and tongue/groove separating!?
Hi, have you guys seen this happen before?
Looks like the newly installed laminate flooring is peaking to an extent where the tongue and the groove of the interlocking pieces are separating.

It is a possibility they were not installed correctly. I just put down new bamboo floors that click (Floating floor) and if there was not enough room on the edges of the room for the floor to expand and contract then it makes the floor buckle like that.
Fixing it - I personally never have fixed the problem before, but going off of what I said before. you might have to remove the trim and make sure the floor was laid out right.
Hope this helps.
