Any advice or opinions as to what is causing countertop separating from drywall?
My kitchen countertop (with intregal backsplash) has progressively separated from the drywall. We think it is from the drywall swelling during the winter from (what we suspect) is a lack of moisture barrier as this wall it also an exterior wall. This also happens with our master bathroom counter top. It too has an intregal backsplash pulling away from the drywall which swells during the winter, and is an exterior wall. These counters are unlevel, and we do not know if 1) the swelling and seperation has caused them to become unlevel or 2) if they were unlevel in the first place thus causing the seperation. Recaulking is our temporary solution, but we need to permanently fix the problem. Any advice or opinions as to what is causing the swelling and seperation and a permanent solution would be greatly appreciated.
