We have a settlement as a measure and now I want to seal it as cold air is coming in. What should I use? The previous owner sprayed in some kind of soft foam. The gaps are about 2-3cm.
 
  • A gap between a skirting board and wooden floor with traces of sealant, in need of sealing to prevent cold air infiltration.
  • Floor corner with wooden slats, slight gap between wall and floor. White residue visible, possibly previous soft foam insulation attempt.
If you are going to lay new flooring, cut away some of the old flooring against the wall and first check what it looks like underneath.

We are not going to redo the floor right now, which is why I want to seal the baseboard.
 
  • A corner of a room with a blue carpet and white baseboard, showing an area needing sealing.
Drill a peephole then?
 
Why "sättning"? Rotten wood underway??

It is an outer concrete wall behind the skirting board/wooden floor. There are no through holes, just drafts. Planning to insulate it with foam now during winter, then have someone come and investigate in the summer.

No, it's poor soil conditions in one corner of the house. Geobear came last week and injected geopolymer from the outside.

Did it turn out well?

Yes, it turned out well. We haven't had any problems after. Finally added foam from the inside at the list
