Default Best Waterproofing Solution

Hello,

I have a small window into my crawl space area that has cracked
masonry around it. When it rains, water flows into the crawl space
area via these cracks. I'm not sure how I should repair this. Is
there a special crack filling compound I can use on the masonry? How
about waterproofing paint to seal it up?

I've been to Lowe's and see that they have:

1) UGL Drylock - Latex Based Masonry Waterproofer
2) UGL Drylock - Oil Based Masonry Waterproofer
3) UGL Drylock - Fast Plug Hydraulic Cement

What is the difference between these, and are they any good? Is there
a better product out there for what I'm hoping to do (ie: seal and
waterproof this window).



*What exactly is the "Masonry" around the window. Is it poured cement,
concrete block, cinder block, brick or stone? How long and wide are the
cracks? Do you have some pictures to post?
