I have a crack in my poured concrete foundation that I want to fix. *I

The basement is finished at that point and I don't want to tear everything

They suggested I go to HD. *The guy there suggested I chisel out the crack,
parge with hydrostatic cement and apply a blue coating (I forget the name).
Nothing was said about a membrane. *Any suggestions?
Use a 4" angle grinder and a diamond blade to clean the crack. Unless
a chisel works for you, best.
the real question why did it crack to begin with?
poor grade freezing etc?
