Hairline cracks in foundation walls might be the result of concrete curing or minor settling and aren’t automatically cause for alarm. Mark them with tape and check them again in a few months. If they’ve worsened, call a structural engineer. If they’re stable, fill them with a grout or spray foam in a can.

What you can do:

Fill in holes in siding and foundation walls with expandable foam.
Check that the ground around the foundation slopes away from the house (about 1 inch per foot).
Clear the area of leaves, in which rodents can nest.
