Arrow Tight Waterproofing: New York, NY's Most Trusted Waterproofing Contractor

We've spent years responding to flooded basements and seeping foundations throughout New York, NY.

We fix all three, not just the symptom you can see.

We're not a general contractor who does waterproofing on the side. Every job we take in New York, NY — whether it's a sump system installation, a foundation crack repair, or a full exterior waterproofing scope — is handled by specialists. No subcontracting, no handoffs, no surprises on the invoice.

  • IICRC-Certified Waterproofing Technicians
  • Commercial-grade materials on every residential job
  • Permit-ready crews with full insurance documentation
  • Transferable written warranty on all installed systems
  • No-subcontractor policy — your crew is our crew

Don't Wait — These Signs Mean Water Is Already Winning

Most basement floods don't start as floods. They start as these ignored details. If you see any of these in your New York, NY property, schedule a free inspection before the damage compounds.

1

Efflorescence on Block or Poured Walls

White powder on concrete means water has been migrating through your wall. The mineral deposits are left behind when water evaporates after passing through the block or poured wall.

2

Horizontal or Stair-Step Foundation Cracks

Horizontal cracks mean the soil outside is pushing inward against your foundation wall. This indicates active soil movement and warrants evaluation immediately.

3

Musty Odor After Rain Events

If your basement smells earthy or musty after every heavy rain, active water intrusion is feeding organic growth — likely behind the drywall or under the slab.

4

Visible Seepage at Wall-Floor Joint

The cove joint — where the floor slab meets the foundation wall — is the most common water entry point in basement systems. Staining or pooling there means hydrostatic pressure is actively pushing in.

5

Peeling Paint or Bubbling Drywall

Paint and drywall absorb moisture vapor before you can see liquid water. Bubbling or peeling in a below-grade space is almost always a moisture problem, not a paint adhesion failure.

6

Sump Pump Running Constantly

A sump pump that cycles every few minutes — or runs non-stop — is managing a groundwater situation your current system wasn't designed for. It will burn out, and the next flood won't wait for a replacement.

7

Rust Stains on Concrete or Block

Rust streaks on foundation walls mean moisture is reaching and oxidizing the rebar or metal lath inside your block or poured concrete — water that deep is already compromising structural integrity.

8

Cracks in the Floor Slab

Hairline slab cracks that weep during wet weather indicate hydrostatic pressure building under the slab. Left alone, that pressure will widen the cracks and lift sections of the floor.

Vapor Barrier Installation Services Available Across New York, NY

Arrow Tight Waterproofing doesn't sell one-size-fits-all packages. We diagnose the entry point, the pressure source, and the existing drainage condition — then we build the solution around what your specific property needs, anywhere in New York, NY.

💧

Sub-Slab Interior Drainage Installation

When hydrostatic pressure is the primary culprit, the most effective long-term solution is a properly engineered interior drainage system. We install sub-slab perforated drain tile around the perimeter, capturing water before it can rise above slab level, and route it to a sump pit with a dual-pump configuration.

These systems redirect hydrostatic pressure along an engineered path straight to your sump pit and out of your property through a properly graded discharge line.

🏗️

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing & Membrane Application

Exterior waterproofing is the most comprehensive solution available — stopping water before it contacts your foundation wall. We excavate to the footing, apply a rubberized polymer membrane to the exterior foundation face, install dimple-mat drainage board, and backfill with clean crushed stone.

We use commercial-grade membrane systems — not the paint-on damp-proofing that deteriorates within a few years.

🔧

Foundation Crack Injection — Polyurethane & Epoxy Systems

Poured concrete foundation cracks are repaired from the interior using high-pressure polyurethane or epoxy injection — the appropriate chemistry depends on whether the crack is actively leaking or dry. Polyurethane foam expands into wet, actively leaking cracks and cures flexible. Epoxy injection is used in dry cracks where structural bond restoration is the goal.

Block wall repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar joints to a minimum depth and repacking with waterproof hydraulic mortar.

🌿

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Systems

We install a minimum 20-mil reinforced poly vapor barrier over the entire crawl space floor and seal it up the walls to the sill plate — then seal all vents, install a conditioned air supply or dedicated crawl space dehumidifier, and spec a sump system if groundwater is present.

For crawl spaces with active water entry, we install a perimeter drain channel, route it to a sump, and then encapsulate over the drainage system.

📞 Schedule a Crawl Space Inspection →
⚙️

Sump Pump Installation, Replacement & Battery Backup Systems

A sump pump is only as reliable as its installation and backup plan. We install primary pumps — typically 1/2 to 3/4 HP cast iron submersibles with a minimum 10-year rating — alongside battery-operated backup systems that activate automatically when your primary pump fails or power goes out.

For finished basements and properties with high groundwater.

🪟

Egress Window Waterproofing & Well Cover Systems

Basement window wells are one of the most underestimated water entry points in residential waterproofing. When the well drain becomes clogged or the well itself is sized incorrectly for your roof drainage load, water pools against the window frame and enters through the sill or the adjacent block wall.

Window well covers are a maintenance measure, not a waterproofing solution — but paired with proper drainage installation.

Arrow Tight Waterproofing Reviews — From Properties Across New York, NY

★★★★★

"The crew showed up within 3 hours of my call at 9 PM. I had water coming in through a crack in my poured wall at the floor joint — had been watching it for two seasons and finally called when it started spreading. They installed an interior drain system along two walls and a new sump pit. The work took two days. Three major rain events since then — completely dry. Worth every dollar.Highly recommend the whole crew."

M
Michael R. Basement Waterproofing Client
★★★★★

"I've had two other companies look at my foundation crack before these guys. Both gave me vague proposals and neither one could tell me exactly where the water was coming in. Arrow Tight Waterproofing came out, brought a thermal camera, and showed me on screen exactly where the moisture was concentrated. The polyurethane injection they did has held for 18 months with zero seepage.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."

S
Sandra T. Property Owner
★★★★★

"I bought a house in New York, NY knowing it had a moisture issue in the crawl space — previous owners had put down a thin plastic sheet that was doing nothing. Arrow Tight Waterproofing encapsulated the entire crawl space with a 20-mil liner, sealed the vents, and installed a dehumidifier. Within two weeks my downstairs floors stopped feeling cold and damp and the musty smell completely disappeared.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."

D
David K. Homeowner in New York, NY
★★★★★

"We had a window well that flooded every time we got more than an inch of rain. The fix was a regraded well with a perforated pipe tied into our existing interior drain. The whole job took one day. The crew was professional, cleaned up completely, and the well has handled every storm since without an issue.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."

L
Lisa M. Window Well Drainage Client in New York, NY
★★★★★

"Called Arrow Tight Waterproofing after my sump pump failed during a storm and I had 4 inches of water on my basement floor. They answered at midnight, arrived within an hour, and had a temporary pump running within 20 minutes. That was 8 months ago — I've had 6 rain events including one significant storm and the basement has stayed dry.That kind of result speaks for itself."

J
James W. Homeowner
★★★★★

"As a property manager overseeing several buildings in New York, NY, I've worked with a lot of waterproofing contractors. Arrow Tight Waterproofing is the first that showed up to the initial walk with a written inspection checklist and completed it on-site before quoting. Their exterior membrane on the building we had done 3 years ago is holding perfectly with zero callbacks.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."

What Property Owners Ask About Waterproofing in New York, NY

Interior drainage systems manage water entering at the cove joint and lower wall — effective for hydrostatic pressure situations, less expensive than excavation.
Crack injection: half to a full day. Interior perimeter drain system: 1–3 days for most residential basements.
Yes — a documented, professionally installed waterproofing system with a transferable warranty is a real asset at resale.
Homeowner's policies typically cover sudden water damage but exclude gradual seepage and groundwater intrusion. We document every job with moisture readings for insurance purposes.
There's no accurate ballpark without an inspection, because waterproofing scope varies drastically. Interior drain systems generally run $4,000–$12,000.
Damp-proofing is a coating — typically asphalt-based — applied to the exterior of a new foundation during construction. It slows vapor transmission but is not designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure; it cracks, deteriorates, and fails over time.
You generally don't need to leave. Interior work involves concrete cutting (noisy for part of the first day) and we use dust barriers and HEPA vacuums.
Foundation wall cracks typically result from two forces: differential settlement as soil consolidates beneath footers, and hydrostatic pressure from water-saturated soil exerting lateral force against the wall.
Interior waterproofing work — drain tile installation, sump systems, crack injection — can be performed year-round regardless of weather.
For interior drainage systems: test your sump pump semi-annually, inspect the discharge line for blockage annually, and keep the pit clear. For crawl space encapsulation: check the liner for tears or water pooling once a year, confirm the dehumidifier drain is clear.
Yes — an unencapsulated crawl space with no standing water still pushes humid ground-sourced air into your living area through the stack effect. That moisture elevates indoor relative humidity, accelerates wood rot and fungal growth in floor joists, reduces HVAC efficiency.
