How would you fix this?

I found water leaking in my new basement after a rain. I uncovered this disaster under a pile of leaves and dirt. I am cleaning the old caulk away and trying to remove the debris in the space. The width is the space is about 1 inch. The upper portion (depth) of the space will be mostly clear of debris, but the lower portion (about 2 inches down) is dirt. Will backer rod and sika flex work here or should I use cement? submitted by /u/Low-Ad-2924 [link] [comments]
