Water doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Arrow Tight Waterproofing brings licensed Waterproofing expertise to Metamora, IN with same-day dispatch and upfront flat-rate pricing.


We've spent years responding to flooded basements and seeping foundations across Metamora, IN. What we 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.
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.
Water damage rarely announces itself dramatically at first. It starts quiet — a damp smell, a hairline crack, a white powder on the concrete. By the time it's obvious, you've lost weeks of containment. Here's what to catch early.
That white chalky residue isn't cosmetic — it's mineral salt deposited by water that has already penetrated your foundation wall.
Horizontal cracks mean the soil outside is pushing inward against your foundation wall. This indicates active soil movement and needs evaluation immediately.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rust streaks on foundation walls mean moisture is reaching and oxidizing the rebar or metal lath inside your block or poured concrete — water that deep is already compromising structural integrity.
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.
Every moisture problem has a different source. We identify yours specifically before we quote anything — then we deploy the right system, not the most expensive one.
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.
Our sub-slab drainage systems use schedule 40 perforated PVC pipe in a stone bed, designed to handle high-volume water tables.

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.
📞 Schedule an Exterior Assessment →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.
📞 Get a Crack Injection Estimate →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.
📞 Schedule a Crawl Space Inspection →The sump pit itself matters as much as the pump. We construct 18-inch diameter pits with a gravel bed at the base for proper water collection, sealed lids to prevent vapor and radon entry, and a discharge line that terminates a minimum of 10 feet from the foundation at a positive-grade daylight point.
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.
📞 Get a Sump System Quote →We excavate and regrade window wells to the proper dimension, install a gravel drain bed with a perforated pipe tied into your perimeter drainage system, and apply waterproof flashing around the window frame — stopping the entry point at the source instead of managing it inside.
Window well covers are a maintenance measure, not a waterproofing solution — but paired with proper drainage installation.

📞 Get a Free Assessment: +1-866-476-1348"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.Highly recommend the whole crew."
"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 Metamora, 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.That kind of result speaks for itself."
"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.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."
"As a commercial property manager overseeing several buildings in Metamora, 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.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."
