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.
 
We would need to know more about substrates and fixing methods before anyone could give even an opinion.
Are there any cracks elsewhere through the house ?

Photos may help too.
 
: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.

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