Who We Are

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

Our field teams hold real Exterior Waterproofing credentials and are licensed in KY, 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.

Warning Signs You Shouldn't Wait On

Most serious foundation problems start small and quiet — here's what to watch for before a minor issue becomes a structural one.

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

White, chalky staining on block or poured concrete walls — a mineral deposit called efflorescence.

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.

Puddling near the same wall section after every storm points to a specific, fixable entry point.

An overworked sump pump is a warning sign in itself — it's compensating for something upstream.

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

A hygrometer reading that stays above 60% no matter how much you run a dehumidifier usually points to an active intrusion source.

If metal items in your basement are corroding faster than they should, ambient moisture is almost certainly the cause.

Our Exterior Waterproofing Services across Kentucky, KY

We don't push a single product — every job starts with a diagnosis, then a recommendation matched to what's actually happening at your property.

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. We follow extraction with a full moisture survey so the permanent fix addresses the actual source, not just the visible symptom.

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

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.

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

We size dehumidification equipment to your specific crawl space volume rather than a one-size-fits-all unit.

Sump Pump Installation & Battery Backup

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How fast can a Exterior Waterproofing technician arrive in Kentucky, KY?+
Active water intrusion moves to priority scheduling, and most Kentucky, KY 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?+
Yes, older foundations are some of the most common jobs we handle, and our diagnostic accounts for aging materials and previous repair attempts.
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 document extraction and mitigation work with photos, moisture readings, and timestamps you can include with a claim.
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?+
Yes, we ask that someone be present so the technician can walk the findings through with you directly before any recommendation is made.
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?+
Sump systems in particular benefit from an annual check, which we can schedule as a simple follow-up visit.
Will waterproofing work lower my homeowner's insurance premium?+
Some insurers do offer discounts for documented flood mitigation work — we can provide the paperwork, though the discount itself depends on your specific policy and carrier.
Do you offer financing for larger projects?+
Financing availability depends on project scope; smaller single-system jobs are usually straightforward flat-rate, while larger combination repairs sometimes qualify for financing.
How do I know if I actually need waterproofing or just better gutters?+
If water is reaching your foundation wall itself, gutters alone usually aren't enough; we'll tell you honestly if a smaller fix like downspout extension would solve it.
Do you guarantee your work in writing, not just verbally?+
We put warranty coverage in writing specifically because verbal promises are hard to enforce months or years later when you actually need them.
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.
