Halo Water Proofing has been the Sewanee area's go-to call for Interior Drainage System because we answer the phone, show up on time, and stand behind the work.
We're Halo Water Proofing — a TN-licensed, fully insured waterproofing outfit that's spent years learning exactly how water moves through Sewanee-area foundations, and exactly how to stop it.
We don't send apprentices to figure it out on your dime. Every Sewanee job is run by a technician who has done this exact repair dozens of times, with a supervisor who signs off before we call it finished.
One call gets you a straight answer and a real appointment window — not a call-back promise.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Most Sewanee customers didn't wake up one day with a flooded basement. It usually started small. These are the early signs worth calling about.
If the basement smells damp even when it looks dry, moisture is likely moving through the walls or floor somewhere.
Stair-step cracks in block foundations are a common early warning sign we see across Sewanee-area homes.
It's easy to dismiss efflorescence as harmless dust, but it actually signals active moisture movement through the wall.
If your pump is running around the clock instead of only during storms, it's worth having it evaluated before it fails completely.
If a foundation wall looks like it's leaning or bulging inward, that's beyond a simple seal and needs a full assessment.
These signs upstairs are often the last clue Sewanee homeowners notice, even though the moisture issue started in the basement months earlier.
From an emergency pump swap at 2 a.m. to a full exterior drainage system, this is the work we do in Sewanee every day.
Standing water in your basement doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Sewanee emergency crews pump out the basement first, then diagnose the source so it doesn't happen again next storm.
Call for Emergency Service →A cracked foundation wall isn't just a cosmetic issue — it's a water entry point and, over time, a structural one. Our Sewanee crews assess whether it's a simple seal or a sign of bigger settlement issues before recommending a fix.
Get a Crack Assessment →Most sump pump failures we see in Sewanee happen during the exact storms that need them most — a battery backup closes that gap when the power drops.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →For Sewanee properties fighting grading or drainage issues, an exterior French drain can intercept water before it ever reaches the foundation wall at all. We map your yard's slope and water flow before recommending which approach fits.
Ask About Drain Systems →Musty smell upstairs that you can't explain? It's usually the crawl space. Our Sewanee crews encapsulate the space fully — floor, walls, and vents — so moisture stops migrating into your living areas.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →Commercial properties in Sewanee carry bigger stakes when water gets in: inventory, tenants, downtime. We scope commercial jobs with the same crew leads who run our residential work, backed by written specs and timelines.
Request a Commercial Quote →No confusing steps, no hard sell — just the same process our Sewanee crews follow on every job.
We start with a phone conversation, not a script — enough to know whether this is an emergency dispatch or a scheduled inspection.
We walk the space with you, point out what we find, and explain it in plain language — no jargon, no pressure.
You receive a written, itemized quote before any work begins — the number you approve is the number you're billed.
Our crew completes the work, cleans up the site, and walks you through the warranty coverage on what was installed.
You get a written number before any work begins — the price you approve is the price you pay, no change-order games.
Our trucks stage locally around Sewanee, which is why emergency calls typically get a technician on-site in under two hours, not "sometime tomorrow."
Warranty terms are explained before you sign, in plain language, so there's no fine print surprise if you ever need to use it.
We'd rather earn a repeat customer with an honest small fix than push a system you don't need.
We document the damage with photos and a written scope your insurance adjuster can actually use, and we'll walk you through the claim process.
Word of mouth is still how most Sewanee customers find us, which keeps our standards higher than a big out-of-town franchise.
"Called at 6am with a flooded basement and had a tech at my door by 8. No runaround, no upsell — just fixed it."
"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."
"Technician actually explained why the water was coming in instead of just quoting a number. First contractor who's done that for us."
