    Hi Vera,

    It could mean that your home is still "settling". We have that problem in part of our home but there's not much we can do about it. It is from a part of the house that was once part of the garage. We had a professional come look at it. I would suggest the same to you. Does your house have a basement or a crawl space? If it's a crawl space it would be fixed differently than if it has a basement. A professional can look at it and let you know if it's something important that must be fixed. Wishing you the best.

    not an amateur job! ...call a foundation company (or two) See if they will give a free analysis/estimate.
