How to repair cracks in my foundation?
I discovered water in my basement this morning, after a huge rainstorm last night. Turns out my sump had come ever so slightly unplugged, which was apparently enough to prevent it from running. So, two things happened - my sump overflowed, and water came up through some cracks in my foundation (I think).

I want to seal up the cracks, so I turn to the resident experts around here. What's the best way to seal up these cracks?

We had that with our basement. A concrete company drilled holes into the cracks and filled it with urethane. No more problems.

Thanks. I'm hoping for a DIY solution, though, if possible...

"DIY" and "fix foundation problems" usually aren't used in the same sentence together.

You can buy cement caulk at any home improvement store like Lowe's. It's even the color of cement.

2-part epoxy. But shave your ass first. Helps it bond a bit better.

parge the cracks if large with hydraulic cement, then brush on DryLok.
