Arrow Tight Waterproofing deploys certified waterproofing crews across Hyattsville, MD. We diagnose the moisture path, seal it at the source, and back every job with a written guarantee — no vague patches, no callbacks.


Arrow Tight Waterproofing was founded on one principle: a dry basement shouldn't be a luxury. Our crew of certified technicians covers Hyattsville, MD with industrial waterproofing systems — the same membranes, drainage matting, and injection resins used in commercial construction, installed in your property at residential pricing.
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.
Most basement floods don't start as floods. They start as these ignored details. If you see any of these in your Hyattsville property, schedule a free inspection before the damage compounds.
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.
Water at the wall-floor joint indicates that groundwater pressure is pushing beneath your slab. This entry point worsens with every wet season if not addressed at the source.
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.
Constant sump cycling means your drainage system is overwhelmed. This typically signals that your waterproofing perimeter needs to be upgraded, not just the pump.
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.
Floor slab cracks that show moisture after heavy rain are almost always driven by sub-slab water pressure. This typically requires sub-slab drainage and sump installation to relieve the pressure permanently.
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.
We use SilkOate, UMARK, and other commercial-grade membrane systems — not the paint-on damp-proofing that deteriorates within a few years.
📞 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.
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.
📞 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 →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, 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.
Egress window installations create a significant opening in your foundation wall, and sealing the rough opening properly is as important as the window itself.
📞 Book a Window Well Assessment →We're not going to tell you we're the cheapest or the biggest. We're going to tell you what we actually do differently — and why it leads to better outcomes for your property and your wallet long-term.
Our process starts with a thermal imaging scan and moisture meter readings at the wall surface, floor, and any visible crack or staining.

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 Hyattsville, MD 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."
"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.That kind of result speaks for itself."
"As a commercial property manager overseeing several buildings in Hyattsville, MD, 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."
