Arrow Tight Waterproofing: Kentucky, KY's Most Trusted Waterproofing Contractor
We've spent years responding to flooded basements and seeping foundations throughout Kentucky, KY. What we've learned is simple: most water intrusion problems trace back to three root causes — hydrostatic pressure, improper grading, and compromised foundation walls. We fix all three, not just the symptom you can see.
Our process starts with a thermal imaging inspection and a moisture meter reading at multiple wall and floor elevations. That data drives the scope — we don't guess, and we don't sell you a $10,000 system when a $1,200 crack injection solves the problem.

Is Your Property in Kentucky, KY Sending Water Damage Warnings?
Water damage rarely announces itself dramatically at first. It starts quiet — a damp smell, a hairline crack, white powder on the concrete. By the time it's obvious, you've lost weeks of containment. Here's what to catch early at any property throughout Kentucky, KY.
1
Efflorescence on Block or Poured Walls
That white chalky residue isn't cosmetic — it's mineral salt deposited by water that has already penetrated your foundation wall.
2
Horizontal or Stair-Step Foundation Cracks
Vertical cracks are often settling. Horizontal cracks in block foundations indicate lateral soil pressure — a structural emergency, not just a cosmetic issue.
3
Musty Odor After Rain Events
Mold and mildew require only 24–48 hours of elevated moisture to colonize. A musty smell after rain means your vapor barrier has failed or doesn't exist.
4
Visible Seepage at Wall-Floor Joint
The cove joint — where the floor slab meets the foundation wall — is the most common water entry point in basement systems. Staining or pooling there means hydrostatic pressure is actively pushing in.
5
Peeling Paint or Bubbling Drywall
If interior basement paint is peeling or drywall is soft and bubbling, you have elevated relative humidity at the wall surface — a reliable sign of ongoing water vapor migration.
6
Sump Pump Running Constantly
A sump pump that cycles every few minutes — or runs non-stop — is managing a groundwater situation your current system wasn't designed for. It will burn out, and the next flood won't wait for a replacement.
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
Hairline slab cracks that weep during wet weather indicate hydrostatic pressure building under the slab. Left alone, that pressure will widen the cracks and lift sections of the floor.
What We Do
Complete Sump Pump Installation Services for Properties Throughout Kentucky, KY
Arrow Tight Waterproofing doesn't sell one-size-fits-all 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, anywhere in Kentucky, KY.
💧
Interior Drain Tile & Perimeter Channel 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, capturing water before it can rise above slab level, and route it to a sump pit with a dual-pump configuration.
These systems redirect hydrostatic pressure along an engineered path straight to your sump pit and out of your property through a properly graded discharge line.
Exterior Foundation Waterproofing & Membrane Application
Full exterior waterproofing involves exposing your foundation to the footer depth, applying a crystalline or elastomeric waterproofing membrane, installing a geocomposite drainage mat, and placing exterior drain tile at the footing — the same specification used in new commercial construction.
We use commercial-grade membrane systems — not the paint-on damp-proofing that deteriorates within a few years.
Foundation Crack Injection — Polyurethane & Epoxy Systems
We inject poured-wall cracks using a port-and-backer system: surface ports are installed at 8–12 inch intervals along the crack, the surface is sealed, and two-part polyurethane or epoxy is pumped under pressure from the lowest port up — filling the crack through its full depth.
For concrete block foundation walls showing horizontal cracking or inward bowing, we pair crack repair with carbon fiber reinforcement straps anchored at the floor and rim joist.
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.
Encapsulation turns your crawl space from an uncontrolled dirt floor into a semi-conditioned space.
Primary & Backup Sump Pump Systems for Kentucky, KY Properties
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.
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 or the adjacent block wall.
Window well covers are a maintenance measure, not a waterproofing solution — but paired with proper drainage installation.

Arrow Tight Waterproofing Reviews — From Properties Across Kentucky, KY
★★★★★
"The crew showed up within 3 hours of my call at 9 PM. 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. Three major rain events since then — completely dry. Worth every dollar.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."

Michael R.Homeowner in Kentucky, KY
★★★★★
"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 where the water 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 has held for 18 months with zero seepage.Highly recommend the whole crew."
S
Sandra T.Property Owner
★★★★★
"I bought a house in Kentucky, KY 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.Highly recommend the whole crew."
D
David K.Homeowner in Kentucky, KY
★★★★★
"We had a window well that flooded every time we got more than an inch of rain. 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."

Lisa M.Window Well Drainage Client in Kentucky, KY
★★★★★
"Called Arrow Tight Waterproofing after my 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. 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."

James W.Emergency Waterproofing Client in Kentucky, KY
★★★★★
"As a property manager overseeing several buildings in Kentucky, KY, I've worked with a lot of waterproofing contractors. Arrow Tight Waterproofing is the first that showed up to the initial walk with a written inspection checklist and completed it on-site before quoting. Their exterior membrane on the building we had done 3 years ago is holding perfectly with zero callbacks.Highly recommend the whole crew."

Interior drainage systems manage water entering at the cove joint and lower wall — effective for hydrostatic pressure situations, less expensive than excavation.
Interior drain tile systems in a standard residential basement typically take 1–2 days depending on perimeter footage. Full exterior waterproofing with excavation runs 2–5 days depending on footer depth and linear footage.
A professionally waterproofed basement with a transferable warranty is a selling feature. It eliminates a mandatory disclosure item, removes a negotiation point for buyers, and makes finished basement space more credibly usable in appraisals.
Standard homeowner's policies generally exclude damage from groundwater seepage, classified as a maintenance issue. Sudden and accidental water damage from a burst pipe or equipment failure is typically covered.
Costs vary significantly based on the solution required, perimeter footage, and existing drainage conditions. Interior drain tile systems for a standard residential basement typically run $4,000–$12,000.
Damp-proofing is the asphalt coating sprayed on new foundations during construction. It's not rated for hydrostatic head pressure and typically fails within 10–20 years.
You generally don't need to leave. Interior work involves concrete cutting (noisy for part of the first day) and we use dust barriers and HEPA vacuums.
Poured concrete cracks primarily from shrinkage during initial cure, differential settlement, and thermal cycling. 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.
For interior drainage systems: test your sump pump semi-annually, inspect the discharge line for blockage annually, and keep the pit clear. For crawl space encapsulation: check the liner for tears or water pooling once a year, confirm the dehumidifier drain is clear.
A dirt floor crawl space — even one with no visible water — maintains near-100% relative humidity at the ground surface. Building science evidence is clear: encapsulation reduces floor moisture content, reduces structural rot risk.
