Wet basement? Cracked foundation? A Halo Water Proofing crew can be at your Highwood property within hours — upfront pricing, no guesswork, no pressure.
We're Halo Water Proofing — a IL-licensed, fully insured waterproofing outfit that's spent years learning exactly how water moves through Highwood-area foundations, and exactly how to stop it.
We don't send apprentices to figure it out on your dime. Every Highwood job is run by a technician who has done this exact repair dozens of times, with a supervisor who signs off before we call it finished.
Call now and talk to an actual technician, not a script. We'll walk you through what's likely going on and get a crew scheduled.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Most Highwood customers didn't wake up one day with a flooded basement. It usually started small. These are the early signs worth calling about.
Odor is often the first sign Highwood customers notice, well before any visible water shows up.
Stair-step cracks in block foundations are a common early warning sign we see across Highwood-area homes.
Efflorescence is a clear sign that water is actively passing through your Highwood foundation wall, even if you've never seen standing water.
A sump pump that never stops cycling is often working harder than it should, or is undersized for your Highwood lot's water table.
A bowing basement wall is a structural concern in addition to a water one — this is the kind of Highwood call we prioritize fast.
These signs upstairs are often the last clue Highwood homeowners notice, even though the moisture issue started in the basement months earlier.
Every Highwood property is different — soil, slope, foundation age, water table depth. We size the fix to the actual problem, not a one-size package.
Standing water in your basement doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Highwood emergency crews remove the water first, then diagnose the entry point so it doesn't happen again next storm.
Call for Emergency Service →A cracked foundation wall isn't just a cosmetic issue — it's a water entry point and, over time, a structural one. Our Highwood crews assess whether it's a simple seal or a sign of bigger settlement issues before recommending a fix.
Get a Crack Assessment →Already have a sump pump that's failing or too small for your Highwood lot? We'll test it, tell you honestly whether it needs replacing, and size the new one to your actual water volume — not the cheapest unit on the truck.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →Some Highwood lots need both an interior and exterior system working together — we'll tell you honestly if that's the case rather than selling just one.
Ask About Drain Systems →A damp, uninsulated crawl space under a Highwood home drives up humidity, invites mold, and wastes energy year-round. We seal it with heavy-duty vapor barrier, address any standing moisture, and can add dehumidification if needed.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →Commercial properties in Highwood carry bigger stakes when water gets in: inventory, tenants, downtime. We scope commercial jobs with the same crew leads who run our residential work, backed by written specs and timelines.

No verbal estimates that change later. What's quoted for your Highwood job is what's invoiced.

If a covered repair fails, we come back and make it right. That's written into every contract, not just promised on the phone.
We'd rather earn a repeat customer with an honest small fix than push a system you don't need.

"Called at 6am with a flooded basement and had a tech at my door by 8. No runaround, no upsell — just fixed it."
"Got quotes from three companies for a crack repair. These guys were the only ones who actually explained why the crack was happening instead of just quoting a price."

"Technician actually explained why the water was coming in instead of just quoting a number. First contractor who's done that for us."
