Halo Water Proofing has been the Highland area's go-to call for Emergency Waterproofing because we answer the phone, show up on time, and stand behind the work.
Halo Water Proofing is a licensed and insured Emergency Waterproofing company built around one idea: show up when you say you will, explain the problem in plain language, and fix it so it stays fixed.
We don't send apprentices to figure it out on your dime. Every Highland 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 Highland customers didn't wake up one day with a flooded basement. It usually started small. These are the early signs worth calling about.
A musty smell in the basement or crawl space is usually moisture you can't see yet, not just "old house smell."
Even small cracks are worth a second look — they rarely stay small once seasonal ground movement gets involved.
Efflorescence is a clear sign that water is actively passing through your Highland foundation wall, even if you've never seen standing water.
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 Highland 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 Highland every day.
Storm season in Highland, IL means our emergency line gets busy fast — we triage calls by severity so active flooding at your Highland address jumps the queue ahead of routine inspections.
Call for Emergency Service →Freeze-thaw cycles in Highland, IL push existing cracks wider every winter, which is why we recommend sealing them before they become an active leak rather than after.
Get a Crack Assessment →Most sump pump failures we see in Highland happen during the exact storms that need them most — a battery backup closes that gap when the power drops.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →Some Highland lots need both an interior and exterior system working together — we'll tell you honestly if that's the case rather than selling just one.
Ask About Drain Systems →Musty smell upstairs that you can't explain? It's usually the crawl space. Our Highland crews encapsulate the space fully — floor, walls, and vents — so moisture stops migrating into your living areas.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →We work directly with Highland property managers and business owners on below-grade waterproofing, parking structure sealing, and large-scale drainage corrections — scheduled around your operating hours.

We start with a phone conversation, not a script — enough to know whether this is an emergency dispatch or a scheduled inspection.
A technician inspects the Highland property in person, checking the foundation, drainage, grading, and any active moisture before recommending a fix.
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.
We quote the job in writing after inspecting it in person, so what you agree to on the phone or at your door is what shows up on the final invoice.
A local dispatch model means the technician who answers questions about your Highland job is the same one who shows up to do it.
If a covered repair fails, we come back and make it right. That's written into every contract, not just promised on the phone.
We'd rather earn a repeat customer with an honest small fix than push a system you don't need.
We can supply the photo documentation and repair scope most Highland, IL carriers ask for before approving a claim.
Word of mouth is still how most Highland customers find us, which keeps our standards higher than a big out-of-town franchise.
"They came out the same afternoon I called about water coming in during a storm. Explained everything before they touched anything. Basement's been bone dry since."
"Got quotes from three companies for a crack repair. These guys were the only ones who actually explained why the crack was happening instead of just quoting a price."
"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."
