Who We Are

Arrow Tight Waterproofing has spent years earning a reputation in Allentown for showing up when a basement is taking on water and not leaving until it's actually fixed.

Every technician on our roster is Waterproofing-certified and licensed in NJ, trained specifically in hydrostatic pressure diagnosis, drain tile installation, and structural crack classification — not general handyman work rebranded as waterproofing.

A basement filling with water doesn't wait for a convenient appointment, so our dispatch model is built around same-day response for active seepage in Allentown.

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.

Warning Signs You Shouldn't Wait On

Catching these signs early usually means a smaller repair bill and a lot less disruption to your home.

That persistent musty odor downstairs almost always traces back to trapped moisture somewhere in the wall or floor assembly.

Chalky white streaks on your foundation wall are a visible sign that water has been passing through the concrete itself.

A door frame that's suddenly out of square, or a window that won't close flush, can point to foundation movement.

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.

Bowing or leaning foundation walls, even subtle ones you can check with a level.

If your basement dehumidifier is running around the clock and humidity still creeps up, the moisture source needs addressing, not just managing.

Unexplained rust forming on tools or ductwork is often the first physical evidence of chronically elevated humidity.

Core Waterproofing Solutions in Allentown

From emergency response to permanent structural fixes, here's the full range of work our crews handle in Allentown.

24/7 Emergency Waterproofing experts in Allentown, NJ

Emergency Water Extraction & Stabilization

Active flooding gets priority dispatch, with crews arriving equipped to extract water immediately and begin drying before secondary damage sets in. Extraction is never treated as the finish line — it's the first step toward a lasting repair.

Interior Drain Tile & Sump Systems

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.

Foundation Crack Injection

Non-structural cracks respond well to polyurethane or epoxy injection depending on whether water is actively present and whether the crack is still moving. Photos and measurements are logged before and after every injection for your records.

Exterior Excavation & Membrane Application

Where the source is grading, a failed footing drain, or membrane failure visible from outside, exterior excavation and a rubberized membrane address the problem at its origin.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Control

A sealed, encapsulated crawl space with a reinforced vapor barrier cuts off the ground moisture that feeds humidity, mold, and wood rot before it ever reaches your living space.

Sump Pump Installation & Battery Backup

A properly sized primary pump paired with a battery backup is the last line of defense against basement flooding when the power goes out during a storm. Backup systems activate automatically the instant the primary loses power or falls behind.

Wall Vapor Barrier & Structural Reinforcement

Dimple-board membrane installed against a foundation wall creates an air gap that channels incidental moisture down to a collection point instead of letting it wick into finished drywall. We explain the engineering rationale before recommending any wall reinforcement work.

Why Allentown, NJ Homeowners Choose Arrow Tight Waterproofing

Here's what you're really getting when you call Arrow Tight Waterproofing for Waterproofing in Allentown.

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.

1

Same-Day Response for Active Intrusion

A basement actively taking on water moves to the front of the schedule — most Allentown, NJ service areas see a technician within hours, not days.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions homeowners ask most before booking Waterproofing service.

How fast can a Waterproofing technician arrive in Allentown, NJ?+
Active water intrusion moves to priority scheduling, and most Allentown, NJ service areas see a technician within hours of the call.
Do you provide upfront, flat-rate pricing?+
Yes — every quote is written and itemized by system component before any coring or excavation begins.
Will interior drain tile actually stop the water, or just hide it?+
Drain tile intercepts groundwater below the slab and routes it to a sump basin before it reaches the finished space — it addresses the water at the source.
Do I need exterior excavation or can interior work solve it?+
We evaluate both approaches during the diagnostic and recommend whichever solves the actual entry point with the least disruption.
What's the difference between a hairline crack and a structural one?+
A hairline crack is typically under an eighth of an inch and stable — a good candidate for injection. A structural crack shows displacement or is still widening and needs engineering evaluation first.
Is waterproofing work covered by a warranty?+
Yes, drain tile, sump, and injection installations all carry a written warranty against failure at the treated location.
How long does a typical installation take?+
Interior drain tile installations are usually completed in one to two days depending on perimeter length.
Do you work on older homes with existing foundation issues?+
We assess existing conditions carefully on older homes since prior DIY fixes sometimes mask the real problem.
What causes a basement to flood in the first place?+
Hydrostatic pressure from groundwater, poor exterior grading, a failed sump pump, or a combination of all three are the most common causes we diagnose.
Can you help with insurance documentation after a flood?+
We're not public adjusters, but our documentation is formatted to support whatever your insurer's claim process requires.
Do you offer emergency service outside business hours?+
Yes, emergency dispatch operates continuously for active flooding and failed sump pumps, including nights and weekends.
Can you work with my homeowner's insurance claim directly?+
We're not a public adjuster, but we document every job with dated photos and moisture readings formatted for insurance submission.
Do I need to be home during the diagnostic visit?+
Being present lets you see the moisture readings and camera footage firsthand rather than getting a secondhand summary.
What's the first sign I should call about, even if it seems minor?+
A musty smell that keeps returning, or a hairline crack that's new, are both worth a call before they become bigger problems.
Do you offer any kind of maintenance check after installation?+
We're glad to do a post-storm follow-up check after a significant rain event to confirm the system is performing as designed.
Will waterproofing work lower my homeowner's insurance premium?+
It varies by insurer, but a documented drain tile or sump installation is worth mentioning to your agent when you renew.
Do you offer financing for larger projects?+
We work with a few financing partners for larger combination projects — ask your technician during the quote and they'll walk you through current options.
How do I know if I actually need waterproofing or just better gutters?+
Poor gutter drainage is a common contributing factor, but it's rarely the whole story — our diagnostic checks both grading and foundation condition before recommending a fix.
Do you guarantee your work in writing, not just verbally?+
Yes, every installed system — drain tile, sump, injection, exterior membrane — comes with written warranty terms included in your quote before work begins.
What should I do right now if water is actively coming in?+
Call +1-866-476-1348 immediately — dispatch will walk you through basic mitigation steps while routing the nearest available emergency crew to your address.
