I forget the name but the hardware stores sell some crack repair stuff that
expands in the crack which prevents water pressure from pushing it out of
the crack. You can squeeze it in from the inside of the basement. Best
results require good cleaning of the crack. Only use the expanding stuff.
People will try to sell you on hydraulic cement but that does not expand
and will not solve your problem.

Hydraulic cement DOES expand. At least the stuff I've used over the
years does.
