:welcome: Drew.

Who put the travertine down originally. Have you had it done or previous owner.
Was their any additional support on the floorboards prior to tiling ie. plywood/tile backer board.
Its never going to be aesthetically acceptable, but unless its a 'wet' room its still a cleanable surface.
Get an estimate from a local tiling contractor, make a financial allowance and move on.

I am stumped. I am selling my house and the inspector noticed straight cracks through my travertine tile upstairs in my master bath 3 ft apart. What could have caused this?
Do I need to replace it all, or is it still safe and just cosmetically not great to look at?
Help.... There are about 5 cracks going across from wall to wall all 3 ft apart and then one gong perpendicular.

Post some pictures as others have said! Are they just hairline cracks?
