Recently I had a family-related residential contractor lay my LVP floor. The long-side joints are separating somewhere. Any idea what I can do? I can get him to come back but don't want him making the same mistakes. Do I have to tear it all up and start over?

What brand? Depending on a few things, some of the joints might be fixable but more than likely some boards would have to be replaced. LVP requires everything to be really clean and set very tight, I constantly vacuumed and checked every edge to make sure there were no defects that could cause issue later.

That’s caused from him not tapping them in good. You will have to pull back the flooring at least 2 to 3 strips over from where the separating is occurring to tap it in.

Duck tape and pull it all the way back to the wall. YouTube has it
