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 Illinois, IL.

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 Coating & Drainage Board Installation
Full exterior waterproofing involves exposing your foundation to the footer depth, applying a crystalline or elastomeric waterproofing membrane, installing a geocomposite drainage mat, and placing exterior drain tile at the footing — the same specification used in new commercial construction.
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.
For concrete block foundation walls showing horizontal cracking or inward bowing, we pair crack repair with carbon fiber reinforcement straps anchored at the floor and rim joist.

Crawl Space Moisture Control: Encapsulation to Full Waterproofing
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.

Sump Pump Installation, Replacement & Battery Backup Systems
The sump pit itself matters as much as the pump. We construct 18-inch diameter pits with a gravel bed at the base, sealed lids to prevent vapor and radon entry, and a discharge line that terminates at a positive-grade daylight point.
Sump pump replacement is one of the most time-sensitive repairs in waterproofing — a failed pump during a heavy rain event means an immediate flood.

Egress Window Waterproofing & Well Cover Systems
We excavate and regrade window wells to the proper dimension, install a gravel drain bed with a perforated pipe tied into your perimeter drainage system, and apply waterproof flashing around the window frame.
Egress window installations create a significant opening in your foundation wall, and sealing the rough opening properly is as important as the window itself.
