I need help...the countertops in the kitchen are seperating from the wall. Before I do anything that my affect something else, how do I get them to go back flush with the wall? I don't know how it happened, but it starts about a foot from the stove and goes all the way around the corner to the refrigerator (in an L shape). This may sound really stupid, and if pushing it is the key, GREAT! That is what I was thinking anyway...

Thanks

Do they move when you push on them? They may not be attached to the cabinets. Push it back into place and attach it.

How big of a separation are you talking about?

It could be that there is a line of caulk there that is shrinking and leaving a gap. If this is the case...remove the old caulk and re-do.

Is it possible that your floor is sagging? Look at the area where the bottom of the cabinet meet the floor from across the room. That was my case.
