The Arrow Tight Waterproofing Story — Built by Waterproofing Specialists, Not Salespeople
Too many contractors in Clyman sell a fix before they've actually confirmed what's wrong. Arrow Tight Waterproofing built its process around the opposite order: inspect first, document what we find, and only then put a number on paper.
Whether the job is a single crack injection or a full drainage overhaul, the same certified crew handles it start to finish in Clyman — no subcontractors, no handoffs, no one new showing up halfway through.
Every technician completes ongoing training as materials and methods evolve — the polyurethane injection resin we use today isn't the same formulation the industry relied on ten years ago, and neither is our crew's training.

licensed in WI with full liability and workers' comp coverage

Warning Signs
Six Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore
Waiting until you see standing water means you've already missed the cheaper fix. These are the early signals our crews are trained to catch in Clyman.
01
Efflorescence on Basement Walls
That chalky white residue on concrete or block isn't dirt — it's mineral salt left behind after water has already migrated through the wall.
02
A Musty Smell That Won't Go Away
Persistent musty odor almost always traces back to elevated humidity or an active leak feeding mold growth somewhere you can't see.
03
Cracks Along the Wall-Floor Joint
Cracking where your floor meets the foundation wall is rarely cosmetic; it's typically the first visible sign of pressure building against the wall.
04
A Sump Pump That Never Stops Running
We treat constant cycling as an early warning, not a normal condition — the pump working overtime today is the pump failing sooner than expected.
05
Bowing or Leaning Foundation Walls
Even a slight inward lean in a block wall signals lateral soil pressure building against the foundation — this needs structural evaluation, not just a sealant.
06
Rust Stains Bleeding Through Concrete
Iron doesn't rust without sustained water contact, so rust bleeding through concrete is a reliable indicator of ongoing penetration.
07
Peeling Paint or Soft Drywall Near the Floor
If the bottom foot of drywall in a below-grade room feels soft or the paint is bubbling, that's usually vapor transmission through the wall, not a plumbing leak.
08
Cold, Damp Floors Above a Crawl Space
Persistent cold-floor complaints in homes with a crawl space are one of the most common calls we get, and encapsulation resolves them far more often than a furnace repair does.
Core Services
What Arrow Tight Waterproofing Handles in Clyman
We don't sell a single fixed package — every property in Clyman gets a scope built around what our inspection actually finds.
01
Emergency Water Intrusion Response
Active flooding doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we — our emergency line in Clyman is answered live, 24 hours a day, with crews dispatched to stop the immediate entry point first.
We carry the equipment needed to control an active situation immediately, then scope the permanent fix once the emergency is under control.
For homeowners in Clyman, we install interior drain tile, sump systems, and crawl space encapsulation sized to your property's actual groundwater load — not a one-size package.
Every residential install includes post-job moisture verification, so you have documented proof the system is working, not just our word for it.
Commercial foundations in Clyman carry different risk than residential ones — larger footprints, tenant liability, and often tighter access — and our crews scope and schedule around that.
We provide the same written, itemized proposals for commercial clients as residential ones, with the added documentation many property managers need for ownership or insurance records.
When a foundation issue is structural rather than purely a water problem, we bring in the crack-classification and reinforcement expertise that basic waterproofing crews don't carry.
Every structural repair is documented with before-and-after photos and moisture readings as part of your warranty file.
Failed or undersized sump pumps are one of the most common reasons a previously working system suddenly floods, and we treat pump sizing as its own diagnostic step, not an afterthought to drainage work.
We also correct discharge line routing and grading as part of any pump job, since a poorly graded discharge line often just recirculates water back toward the foundation.
Every waterproofing company claims to be the best. Here's what we actually do differently, and why it holds up under scrutiny.
Upfront, Itemized Pricing
Pricing surprises are the single biggest complaint we hear about competitors, so we built our proposal process specifically to eliminate them.
Fast Local Dispatch
Response time isn't an afterthought for us — it's a scheduling metric we track and staff around, not just a marketing line.
Satisfaction Backed in Writing
Warranty documentation is registered to the property address, so it transfers automatically if you sell, without needing to track us down for paperwork.
Commercial-Grade Materials, Every Time
We install the same membrane specification, pipe schedule, and pump ratings on residential jobs that commercial contracts require — never a downgraded consumer-grade substitute.
Diagnosis Before Recommendation
A diagnosis-first approach costs us more time per estimate, but it's the reason our repeat-callback rate is a fraction of the industry average.

Don't Wait for the Next Storm
Free on-site inspection, written estimate, no obligation. We answer 24/7.
"Had a cove joint leak that two other companies just patched without explaining why it kept happening. Arrow Tight Waterproofing's technician showed me the moisture readings and traced it to hydrostatic pressure, then installed drain tile that's held through every storm since.That's the kind of fix that actually holds up."
R. — Homeowner, Clyman
★★★★★
"Called at 11 PM with active water coming in during a storm. Live person answered immediately, crew was on-site within the hour, and they had a temporary pump running before starting the real diagnosis.Exactly the level of service we expected."
K. — Emergency Client, Clyman
★★★★★
"We manage a small multi-unit building and needed the work scheduled around tenants. They coordinated everything cleanly and the commercial-grade membrane they used has zero callbacks two years later.Would recommend them without hesitation."
T. — Property Manager, Clyman
★★★★★
"Appreciated that they didn't just sell us a package. The inspection actually found the real problem — a bowing block wall — and the carbon fiber reinforcement plus crack injection fixed it properly instead of just sealing the surface.Exactly the level of service we expected."
M. — Homeowner, Clyman
★★★★★
"Sump pump had been cycling nonstop for weeks before we called. They correctly diagnosed it as undersized for our actual water table and upgraded it — no more constant cycling, and it's kept up with two heavy storms since.That's the kind of fix that actually holds up."
D. — Homeowner, Clyman
★★★★★
"We're a small property management company and needed drainage work done across three units without disrupting tenants. Arrow Tight Waterproofing scheduled around occupied hours, communicated clearly with residents, and the itemized invoice matched the original proposal exactly.Exactly the level of service we expected."

FAQ
Straight Answers About Waterproofing
Standard inspections are typically scheduled within a few days of your call; active emergencies get same-day priority dispatch in most of our coverage area.
We never bill hourly or open-ended. The fixed price you approve in writing is the price on the final invoice, barring a documented scope change you sign off on first.
Emergency response covers active flooding, sudden sump failure, and burst pipe water intrusion — we stabilize the situation first, then scope the permanent repair.
If interior fixes haven't held or the wall shows active exterior deterioration, exterior waterproofing is usually the better long-term answer — we'll tell you honestly which applies.
Gradual groundwater seepage is typically treated as a maintenance issue and excluded, while sudden events like burst pipes are often covered — check your specific policy language.
Timeline depends entirely on scope — we give you a written schedule estimate as part of the proposal so there's no ambiguity going in.
A technician inspects the property directly with thermal imaging and moisture meters before any number is put on paper.
Yes — every completed system includes a written warranty that's transferable if you sell the property, not just a verbal assurance.
Coverage extends across Clyman — call +1-866-476-1348 to confirm your specific address, though it's almost certainly within our service area.
For the initial inspection, yes — we need access to the affected area and it helps to walk through what we're seeing together, though the visit is usually under an hour.
A patch treats the visible symptom — a caulked crack, a coat of sealant — without addressing why water found that path in the first place, so the same issue often resurfaces nearby.
We're not a public adjuster, but we document every job with dated photos and moisture readings formatted for insurance submission, which you can include with your own claim.
