I just noticed a crack in my home's foundation while inspecting the exterior. It seems like the previous owners may have tried to seal it with caulk. I'm curious to know whether this crack might pose any danger to my home. What are your thoughts?

Can you see the other side of the crack? It’s tough to assess how serious it is without more context. Honestly, I’d suggest getting a second opinion from a structural engineer instead of just relying on foundation companies, who might exaggerate the issue.
It's probably not dangerous, but it's worth keeping an eye on. It looks like the veneer stone might be coming loose, which could mean the crack is worsening. Just be aware that it could lead to water leaks if left unattended. Make sure to monitor it regularly.
