Arrow Tight Waterproofing: Logan, AL's Most Trusted Waterproofing Contractor
Arrow Tight Waterproofing was built by tradespeople who got tired of seeing homeowners in Logan, AL get sold band-aid fixes. We specialize in permanent waterproofing solutions — interior drainage systems, exterior membrane applications, crack injection, and crawl space encapsulation — using commercial-grade materials that hold up decade after decade.
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.

✓ Permit-ready crews with full insurance documentation
✓ Transferable written warranty on all installed systems
Don't Wait — These Signs Mean Water Is Already Winning in Logan
Most basement floods don't start as floods. They start as these ignored details. If you see any of these in your Logan property, schedule a free inspection before the damage compounds.
1
Efflorescence on Block or Poured Walls
White powder on concrete means water has been migrating through your wall. The mineral deposits are left behind when water evaporates after passing through the block or poured wall.
2
Horizontal or Stair-Step Foundation Cracks
Horizontal cracks mean the soil outside is pushing inward against your foundation wall. This indicates active soil movement and needs evaluation immediately.
3
Musty Odor After Rain Events
If your basement smells earthy or musty after every heavy rain, active water intrusion is feeding organic growth — likely behind the drywall or under the slab.
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
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.
6
Sump Pump Running Constantly
Constant sump cycling means your drainage system is overwhelmed. This typically signals that your waterproofing perimeter needs to be upgraded, not just the pump.
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
Our Full Range of Waterproofing Solutions in Logan, AL
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.
💧
Sub-Slab Interior Drainage Installation
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.
These systems don't fight hydrostatic pressure — they redirect it.
Exterior Foundation Coating & Drainage Board Installation
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.
This approach solves the problem at the source: water never reaches your interior wall surface.
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 with hydraulic cement, 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 spaces are the most overlooked moisture source in residential structures. An unencapsulated crawl space — even one that "never floods" — pumps humid air into your living area through the stack effect, raising indoor humidity, feeding mold growth in floor joists, and accelerating wood rot in your subfloor structure. Full encapsulation seals that air pathway permanently.
For crawl spaces with active water entry, we install a perimeter drain channel at the footer line, route it to an appropriate discharge point or sump.
Sump Pump Installation, Replacement & Battery Backup Systems
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.
Sump pump replacement is one of the most time-sensitive repairs in waterproofing — a failed pump during a heavy rain event means an immediate flood.
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, the window-to-frame joint, or the block wall directly adjacent.
Window well covers are a maintenance measure, not a waterproofing solution — but paired with proper drainage installation.

★★★★★
"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.That kind of result speaks for itself."

"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.Highly recommend the whole crew."

★★★★★
"I bought a house in Logan, AL 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.Highly recommend the whole crew."

David K.Crawl Space Encapsulation Client
★★★★★
"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.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."

"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 Logan, AL, 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.That kind of result speaks for itself."

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Waterproofing in Logan, AL
The distinction comes down to where the water pressure is coming from — interior drainage handles water at the cove joint and lower wall.
Crack injection: half a day to a full day. Interior perimeter drain system: 1–3 days for most residential basements.
A professionally waterproofed basement with a transferable warranty is a selling feature, not just a repair. It eliminates a mandatory disclosure item, removes a negotiation point for buyers, and makes finished basement space more credibly usable in appraisals.
Homeowner's policies typically cover sudden water damage — burst pipes, appliance failures — but exclude gradual seepage and groundwater intrusion. That said, we document every job with moisture readings and photographs.
Waterproofing costs vary significantly based on the solution required, the perimeter footage, and the 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 costs the builder very little, is not rated for hydrostatic head pressure, and typically fails within 10–20 years.
You generally don't need to leave. Interior drainage work involves concrete cutting (noisy for a portion of the first day) and we use dust barriers and HEPA vacuums at the saw.
Poured concrete cracks primarily from shrinkage during initial cure, differential settlement as soil compacts beneath the footer, and thermal cycling over seasons. 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.
Post-installation maintenance is simple. For interior drainage systems: test your sump pump semi-annually, inspect the discharge line for blockage annually, and keep the pit clear of debris.
A dirt floor crawl space — even one with no visible water — maintains near-100% relative humidity at the ground surface, and that moisture migrates upward by diffusion and stack effect air movement. You don't need standing water to have a moisture problem in a crawl space.
