Why gaps can appear
Gaps around doors, windows, trim, or wall intersections can result from material movement, installation details, framing changes, or structural movement. Context is important before assuming the foundation is responsible.
What to compare
Look at whether the opening still sits square, whether the gap is changing, and whether cracks or floor slope are present nearby. Similar changes across several openings can be more informative than one isolated gap.
A broader inspection gives a better answer
A foundation evaluation can connect changes at the openings with the walls, floors, foundation, and support conditions in the same area. That helps distinguish a local finish issue from a structural concern.
Foundation symptoms can overlap. If you are seeing several changes at the same property, call and describe what you are noticing so the condition can be evaluated in context.
