sealing cracks
Closing small openings
Sealing cracks is the process of filling gaps or fissures in a surface to prevent air, water, or pests from passing through.
The phrase applies to home maintenance sealing cracks in the foundation, roadwork, or any repair where openings need closing.
Figuratively, it can mean addressing small problems before they grow: The new policy is just sealing cracks, not fixing the real issue.
