Halo Water Proofing has been the Franklin Lakes area's go-to call for Exterior Waterproofing because we answer the phone, show up on time, and stand behind the work.
Halo Water Proofing started as a small NJ crew and grew because Franklin Lakes customers kept referring us to neighbors — that's still how most of our work comes in today.
We don't send apprentices to figure it out on your dime. Every Franklin Lakes 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.
Call now and talk to an actual technician, not a script. We'll walk you through what's likely going on and get a crew scheduled.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Water problems rarely announce themselves all at once — they usually show up as small clues first. Here's what our Franklin Lakes technicians hear about most often before an inspection.
If the basement smells damp even when it looks dry, moisture is likely moving through the walls or floor somewhere.
Hairline cracks can widen over a Franklin Lakes winter's freeze-thaw cycle and become active leak points by spring.
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.
This is one sign we tell Franklin Lakes customers not to wait on — wall movement tends to progress rather than resolve on its own.
Flooring that's cupping or warping near an exterior wall is a common clue our Franklin Lakes crews trace back to a drainage issue.
Every Franklin Lakes property is different — soil, slope, foundation age, water table depth. We size the fix to the actual problem, not a one-size package.
Standing water in your basement doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Franklin Lakes emergency crews extract standing water first, then diagnose where it's getting in so it doesn't happen again next storm.
Call for Emergency Service →Freeze-thaw cycles in Franklin Lakes, NJ 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 →A tired or undersized sump pump is the #1 reason we get emergency calls in Franklin Lakes after heavy rain. We install battery backup units so your basement stays dry even if the power goes out mid-storm.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →Some Franklin Lakes 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 →Older Franklin Lakes homes with vented crawl spaces are especially prone to seasonal moisture swings — encapsulation closes that off for good.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →Commercial properties in Franklin Lakes 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.
