Water doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Arrow Tight Waterproofing brings licensed Emergency Waterproofing expertise to properties throughout Pennsylvania, PA with same-day dispatch and upfront flat-rate pricing.


Arrow Tight Waterproofing was built by tradespeople who got tired of seeing homeowners across Pennsylvania, PA sold band-aid fixes. We specialize in permanent waterproofing solutions — interior drainage systems, exterior membrane applications, crack injection, and crawl space encapsulation — using commercial-grade materials that hold up decade after decade.
We're not a general contractor who does waterproofing on the side. Every job we take in Pennsylvania, PA — 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.
Water damage rarely announces itself dramatically at first. It starts quiet — a damp smell, a hairline crack, white powder on the concrete. By the time it's obvious, you've lost weeks of containment. Here's what to catch early at any property throughout Pennsylvania, PA.
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.
Horizontal cracks mean the soil outside is pushing inward against your foundation wall. This indicates active soil movement and warrants evaluation immediately.
Mold and mildew require only 24–48 hours of elevated moisture to colonize. A musty smell after rain means your vapor barrier has failed or doesn't exist.
Water at the wall-floor joint indicates that groundwater pressure is pushing beneath your slab. This entry point worsens with every wet season if not addressed.
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.
Constant sump cycling means your drainage system is overwhelmed. This typically signals that your waterproofing perimeter needs an upgrade, not just the pump.
Iron in your concrete doesn't rust unless water penetration has reached it. Rust staining is a reliable indicator that your foundation waterproofing envelope has been breached.
Floor slab cracks that show moisture after heavy rain are almost always driven by sub-slab water pressure — typically requiring sub-slab drainage and sump installation to relieve the pressure permanently.
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 Pennsylvania, PA.
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.

This approach solves the problem at the source: water never reaches your interior wall surface.
📞 Schedule an Exterior Assessment →We inject poured-wall cracks using a port-and-backer system: surface ports are installed at 8–12 inch intervals along the crack, the surface is sealed, and two-part polyurethane or epoxy is pumped under pressure from the lowest port up — filling the crack through its full depth.
Block wall repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar joints to a minimum depth and repacking with waterproof hydraulic mortar.
📞 Get a Crack Injection Estimate →Crawl spaces are the most overlooked moisture source in residential structures. An unencapsulated crawl space — even one that never floods — pumps humid air into your living area through the stack effect, raising indoor humidity, feeding mold growth in floor joists, and accelerating wood rot in your subfloor structure.
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 →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.
📞 Get a Sump System Quote →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.

📞 Call Now: +1-866-476-1348"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.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."
"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.That kind of result speaks for itself."
"I bought a house in Pennsylvania, PA 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.Highly recommend the whole crew."
"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.Highly recommend the whole crew."
"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.Highly recommend the whole crew."
"As a property manager overseeing several buildings in Pennsylvania, PA, 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.That kind of result speaks for itself."
