Arrow Tight Waterproofing: Hudson, IN's Most Trusted Waterproofing Contractor
We've spent years responding to flooded basements and seeping foundations across Hudson, IN.

We fix all three, not just the symptom you can see.
Every technician on our team is IICRC-certified and carries full liability coverage. We pull permits where required, provide moisture readings before and after every job, and stand behind our work with a written warranty that transfers with the property.

Is Your Hudson Home Sending You Water Damage Warnings?
Most basement floods don't start as floods. They start as these ignored details. If you see any of these in your Hudson property, schedule a free inspection before the damage compounds.
1
Efflorescence on Block or Poured Walls
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.
2
Horizontal or Stair-Step Foundation Cracks
Horizontal cracks mean the soil outside is pushing inward against your foundation wall. This indicates active soil movement and needs evaluation immediately.
3
Musty Odor After Rain Events
If your basement smells earthy or musty after every heavy rain, active water intrusion is feeding organic growth — likely behind the drywall or under the slab.
4
Visible Seepage at Wall-Floor Joint
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 at the source.
5
Peeling Paint or Bubbling Drywall
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.
6
Sump Pump Running Constantly
Constant sump cycling means your drainage system is overwhelmed. This typically signals that your waterproofing perimeter needs to be upgraded, not just the pump.
7
Rust Stains on Concrete or Block
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.
8
Cracks in the Floor Slab
Floor slab cracks that show moisture after heavy rain are almost always driven by sub-slab water pressure. This typically requires sub-slab drainage and sump installation to relieve the pressure permanently.
What We Do
Waterproofing Services We Provide in Hudson, IN
Arrow Tight Waterproofing doesn't sell one-size-fits-all waterproofing 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.
💧
Interior French Drain & Perimeter Drainage Systems
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 of your basement — capturing water before it can rise above slab level — and route it to a sump pit equipped with a dual-pump configuration.
These systems don't fight hydrostatic pressure — they redirect it.
Exterior Foundation Waterproofing & Membrane Application
Exterior waterproofing is the most comprehensive solution available — stopping water before it contacts your foundation wall. We excavate to the footing, apply a rubberized polymer membrane to the exterior foundation face, install dimple-mat drainage board, and backfill with clean crushed stone to redirect surface water away from the structure.
This approach solves the problem at the source: water never reaches your interior wall surface.
Foundation Crack Injection — Polyurethane & Epoxy Systems
Poured concrete foundation cracks are repaired from the interior using high-pressure polyurethane or epoxy injection — the appropriate chemistry depends on whether the crack is actively leaking or dry. Polyurethane foam expands into wet, actively leaking cracks and cures flexible, accommodating minor future movement. Epoxy injection is used in dry cracks where structural bond restoration is the goal.
Block wall repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar joints to a minimum depth of 3/4 inch and repacking with waterproof hydraulic mortar.
Crawl Space Moisture Control: Encapsulation to Full Waterproofing
We install a minimum 20-mil reinforced poly vapor barrier over the entire crawl space floor and seal it up the walls to the sill plate — then seal all vents, install a conditioned air supply or dedicated crawl space dehumidifier, and spec a sump system if groundwater is present.
For crawl spaces with active water entry, we install a perimeter drain channel at the footer line, route it to an appropriate discharge point or sump.
Sump Pump Installation, Replacement & Battery Backup Systems
A sump pump is only as reliable as its installation and backup plan. We install primary pumps — typically 1/2 to 3/4 HP cast iron submersibles with a minimum 10-year rating — alongside battery-operated backup systems that activate automatically when your primary pump fails or power goes out.
For finished basements and properties with high groundwater, we recommend a dual-pump system: a primary submersible at normal operating level and a pedestal backup set two inches higher.
Window Well Drainage & Egress Window Waterproofing
Basement window wells are one of the most underestimated water entry points in residential waterproofing. When the well drain becomes clogged or the well itself is sized incorrectly for your roof drainage load, water pools against the window frame and enters through the sill, the window-to-frame joint, or the block wall directly adjacent.
Egress window installations create a significant opening in your foundation wall, and sealing the rough opening properly is as important as the window itself.

★★★★★
"The crew showed up within 3 hours of my call at 9 PM on a Tuesday. 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. I've had three major rain events since then — completely dry. Worth every dollar.That kind of result speaks for itself."

"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 why I had water or where it 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 on the crack has held for 18 months now with zero seepage. That's the most competent inspection I've ever gotten from a contractor.That kind of result speaks for itself."

"I bought a house in Hudson, IN 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. The technician walked me through every step before starting. No surprises on the invoice.That kind of result speaks for itself."

★★★★★
"We had a window well that flooded every time we got more than an inch of rain. The well was filling up and water was coming straight in through the window sill joint. 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 old 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 of showing up. Once the emergency was managed, they walked me through a permanent drainage system upgrade. That was 8 months ago — I've had 6 rain events including one significant storm and the basement has stayed dry.That kind of result speaks for itself."

"As a commercial property manager overseeing several buildings in Hudson, IN, I've worked with a lot of waterproofing contractors. Arrow Tight Waterproofing is the first one that showed up to the initial walk with a written inspection checklist and completed it on-site before quoting. Every other contractor just eyeballed it and sent a number. Their exterior membrane on the building we had done 3 years ago is holding perfectly with zero callbacks.Highly recommend the whole crew."

Common Questions
What Hudson Homeowners Ask About Waterproofing
The distinction comes down to where the water pressure is coming from — interior drainage handles water at the cove joint and lower wall.
Crack injection: half a day to a full day. Interior perimeter drain system: 1–3 days for most residential basements.
Yes — and the mechanism is twofold. First, a documented, professionally installed waterproofing system with a transferable warranty eliminates a major disclosure item that typically requires negotiation or price reduction during a sale.
Homeowner's policies typically cover sudden water damage — burst pipes, appliance failures — but exclude gradual seepage and groundwater intrusion. That said, we document every job with moisture readings and photographs.
Waterproofing costs vary significantly based on the solution required, the perimeter footage, and the existing drainage conditions. Interior drain tile systems for a standard residential basement typically run $4,000–$12,000.
Damp-proofing is a coating — typically an asphalt-based spray applied to the exterior of a new foundation during construction. It slows vapor transmission but is not designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure; it cracks, deteriorates, and fails over time.
For interior work, displacement is rarely required. There will be concrete saw noise and dust during the initial saw-cut phase — we use HEPA-equipped dust containment systems — but most homeowners remain in the house throughout an interior drainage installation.
Poured concrete cracks primarily from shrinkage during initial cure, differential settlement as soil compacts beneath the footer, and thermal cycling over seasons. Concrete block cracks most commonly at mortar joints due to differential settlement or from lateral soil pressure.
Interior waterproofing work — drain tile installation, sump systems, crack injection — can be performed year-round regardless of weather.
Post-installation maintenance is simple. For interior drainage systems: test your sump pump semi-annually, inspect the discharge line for blockage annually, and keep the pit clear of debris.
Yes — and this is one of the most consistent findings in building science research. An unencapsulated crawl space with no standing water still pushes humid ground-sourced air into your living area through the stack effect: warm air rising out of the house pulls cool.
