Halo Water Proofing has been the Highwood area's go-to call for Wet Basement Repair because we answer the phone, show up on time, and stand behind the work.
Halo Water Proofing started as a small IL crew and grew because Highwood customers kept referring us to neighbors — that's still how most of our work comes in today.
Every technician on our Highwood crew is background-checked, factory-trained on the equipment we install, and held to the same estimate we quote you over the phone — no upsell surprises when the truck pulls up.
One call gets you a straight answer and a real appointment window — not a call-back promise.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Water problems rarely announce themselves all at once — they usually show up as small clues first. Here's what our Highwood technicians hear about most often before an inspection.
Odor is often the first sign Highwood customers notice, well before any visible water shows up.
Even small cracks are worth a second look — they rarely stay small once seasonal ground movement gets involved.
That white chalky film on basement walls is efflorescence — mineral deposits left behind as water evaporates through concrete.
A pump under constant strain tends to fail at the worst possible time — usually during the next big Highwood storm.
This is one sign we tell Highwood customers not to wait on — wall movement tends to progress rather than resolve on its own.
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.
Storm season in Highwood, IL means our emergency line gets busy fast — we triage calls by severity so active flooding at your Highwood address jumps the queue ahead of routine inspections.
Call for Emergency Service →Hairline cracks are how most Highwood basements start leaking. We use hydraulic cement injection to seal the crack from the inside out, stopping the leak at the source instead of just painting over the symptom.
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 →An interior drain tile system channels water to a sump pump before it ever reaches your Highwood basement floor — one of the most reliable long-term fixes we install.
Ask About Drain Systems →Older Highwood homes with vented crawl spaces are especially prone to seasonal moisture swings — encapsulation closes that off for good.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →We work directly with Highwood property managers and business owners on below-grade waterproofing, parking structure sealing, and large-scale drainage corrections — scheduled around your operating hours.

Every Highwood job reflects on the next referral, so we treat each one like it's the only advertising that matters.
"They came out the same afternoon I called about water coming in during a storm. Explained everything before they touched anything. Basement's been bone dry since."
"Fair price, showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves. Wish more contractors worked like this."
"Crawl space smelled awful for years. Encapsulation crew did a clean job and the smell is completely gone upstairs now."
"Straightforward commercial quote, no back-and-forth, crew was professional the whole project."
"French drain install took two days like they said it would, not five. Yard was put back together better than before."
"Insurance claim was a headache until they stepped in with photos and a written scope. Adjuster approved it within a week after that."
