I have a 35 year old house with my shop in the basement

found a kit that looked like it might work.
The outfit is LCR - liquid concrete repair.

I'm a basement shop guy too. Its a walk out so I can drag in all sorts
of projects. Got one huge crack that really leaks. i'll give this
stuff a try.

The other way to solve the issue is to make a "dam" of
silicone sealant around the room near the walls.. Something like
5cm from the wall. Then either leave the water there and
let evaporate (if small amounts) or use the same silicone
to couple of thin plastic tube from dam to drain.. Use
same colour silicone as floor (say, light gray) and the dam
is practically invisible.

Works well!
