Arrow Tight Waterproofing has spent years earning a reputation in Franklin for showing up when a basement is taking on water and not leaving until it's actually fixed.
Our field teams hold real Waterproofing credentials and are licensed in NJ, with training that covers moisture mapping, sump system design, and foundation crack evaluation in depth.
We run a dispatch-first model: local crews stocked with diagnostic gear and repair materials, ready to move on active water intrusion the same day it's reported.
We believe a homeowner should be able to see the evidence behind a recommendation, not just take our word for it — every diagnostic visit comes with documented findings you can keep.
Most serious foundation problems start small and quiet — here's what to watch for before a minor issue becomes a structural one.
A musty smell that returns no matter how often you clean the basement.
Efflorescence, that white crusty residue on foundation walls, is water evaporating and leaving mineral salts behind.
Doors and windows that stick or won't latch properly, especially on the lowest level.
Visible cracks in the foundation wall, whether hairline or wider stair-step patterns.
Standing water or damp carpet after any significant rainfall.
If you can't remember the last time your sump pump was tested, that's worth addressing before the next storm does it for you.
A wall that bows inward even slightly is responding to soil pressure that isn't going away on its own.
If your basement dehumidifier is running around the clock and humidity still creeps up, the moisture source needs addressing, not just managing.
If metal items in your basement are corroding faster than they should, ambient moisture is almost certainly the cause.
Every service below starts from the same diagnostic-first approach, whether the job is a small crack injection or a full exterior excavation.
When water is actively rising, extraction comes first — high-capacity pumps clear standing water while we map exactly where it's entering. We follow extraction with a full moisture survey so the permanent fix addresses the actual source, not just the visible symptom.
A perimeter drain tile channel installed below the slab intercepts groundwater before it can reach your floor, routing it to a properly sized sump basin and pump. Every basin includes a check valve, sealed lid, and battery backup so a power outage doesn't undo the fix.
We classify every crack before recommending a resin — injecting a still-moving crack just delays the real conversation about what's causing the movement. Photos and measurements are logged before and after every injection for your records.
This is the most thorough fix available and typically carries the longest service life, though it's not always necessary depending on what the interior diagnostic finds.
We size dehumidification equipment to your specific crawl space volume rather than a one-size-fits-all unit.
We calculate your pit's actual inflow rate before recommending pump horsepower, since an undersized pump is one of the most common causes of preventable flooding. Cellular notification add-ons alert your phone directly if the system is ever triggered.
For walls showing early bowing alongside seepage, carbon fiber straps or steel wall anchors can arrest further movement before it becomes a bigger structural concern. We explain the engineering rationale before recommending any wall reinforcement work.
Five things that actually separate a specialized Waterproofing crew from a general contractor with a truck and a sump pump on hand.
A lot of companies claim to offer Waterproofing, but the difference shows up in how the job is actually diagnosed and executed — not in the advertising.
Regional crews are staged specifically to keep response windows tight across our Franklin, NJ coverage area, day or night.
Every quote breaks out material, labor, and equipment separately, delivered in writing before any drilling or coring begins.
We run a full moisture survey — wall cameras, hydrostatic pressure readings, crack classification — before recommending any specific system.
Below-grade water intrusion work is a distinct trade, and our technicians are trained and certified specifically in it, not treating it as a side skill.
We stand behind installed systems with documented warranty terms included in your quote, not a verbal promise that's hard to pin down later.
No mystery about what happens after you pick up the phone — here's the exact sequence from first call to a finished, fully tested repair, start to end.
Describe the issue — a damp wall, standing water, a musty smell — and dispatch routes the right crew with matching equipment.
You'll see exactly what the equipment finds — this isn't a sales walkthrough, it's a real inspection.
Pricing reflects exactly what the diagnostic found, not a generic package.
We test drain tile flow, pump activation, and injection fill before the crew leaves the property.
What homeowners in Franklin, NJ are saying after calling us for Waterproofing.
"Had standing water after a spring storm and they had a full drain tile system installed within the week. Completely dry since."
"They showed us the actual crack on camera before recommending anything — nobody had ever bothered to look that closely before."
"Quote matched the final invoice to the dollar. No surprise line items once they opened up the wall."
"Battery backup pump they installed kept us dry through a multi-hour outage last winter. Would've flooded otherwise."
"Appreciated that they told us plainly our crack needed an engineer's eyes before injecting anything — didn't just upsell us."
"Crawl space encapsulation got rid of a musty smell we'd been dealing with for two years. Should've called sooner."
"They walked us through the moisture readings on the spot instead of just telling us to trust them. Made the whole decision easier."
"Sump pump replacement was done same-day after our old one failed during a storm. Genuinely impressed with the response time."
"We got three other quotes before calling them, and theirs was the only one that actually explained why our specific wall was leaking."
"Vapor barrier install in our crawl space was clean, fast, and the humidity reading dropped noticeably within a couple weeks."
