Halo Water Proofing has been the Hackensack area's go-to call for Exterior Waterproofing because we answer the phone, show up on time, and stand behind the work.
We're Halo Water Proofing — a NJ-licensed, fully insured waterproofing outfit that's spent years learning exactly how water moves through Hackensack-area foundations, and exactly how to stop it.
Every technician on our Hackensack crew is background-checked, factory-trained on the equipment we install, and held to the same estimate we quote you over the phone — no upsell surprises when the truck pulls up.
One call gets you a straight answer and a real appointment window — not a call-back promise.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Water problems rarely announce themselves all at once — they usually show up as small clues first. Here's what our Hackensack technicians hear about most often before an inspection.
A musty smell in the basement or crawl space is usually moisture you can't see yet, not just "old house smell."
Hairline cracks can widen over a Hackensack 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.
A sump pump that never stops cycling is often working harder than it should, or is undersized for your Hackensack lot's water table.
A bowing basement wall is a structural concern in addition to a water one — this is the kind of Hackensack call we prioritize fast.
Flooring that's cupping or warping near an exterior wall is a common clue our Hackensack crews trace back to a drainage issue.
Every Hackensack property is different — soil, slope, foundation age, water table depth. We size the fix to the actual problem, not a one-size package.
When your Hackensack basement floods, minutes matter for your drywall, flooring, and belongings. We dispatch a crew immediately, pull the water, and start drying the space with commercial-grade equipment the same visit.
Call for Emergency Service →A cracked foundation wall isn't just a cosmetic issue — it's a water entry point and, over time, a structural one. Our Hackensack crews assess whether it's a simple seal or a sign of bigger settlement issues before recommending a fix.
Get a Crack Assessment →Most sump pump failures we see in Hackensack happen during the exact storms that need them most — a battery backup closes that gap when the power drops.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →For Hackensack properties fighting grading or drainage issues, an exterior French drain can intercept water before it ever reaches the foundation wall at all. We map your yard's slope and water flow before recommending which approach fits.
Ask About Drain Systems →Musty smell upstairs that you can't explain? It's usually the crawl space. Our Hackensack crews encapsulate the space fully — floor, walls, and vents — so moisture stops migrating into your living areas.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →Commercial properties in Hackensack 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.

We start with a phone conversation, not a script — enough to know whether this is an emergency dispatch or a scheduled inspection.
We walk the space with you, point out what we find, and explain it in plain language — no jargon, no pressure.
You receive a written, itemized quote before any work begins — the number you approve is the number you're billed.
Once the repair is done, you get documentation of the work and a written warranty — not just a handshake.
We quote the job in writing after inspecting it in person, so what you agree to on the phone or at your door is what shows up on the final invoice.
Because we're actually based near Hackensack rather than routing calls through a national center, we can usually get someone out the same day you call.
Warranty terms are explained before you sign, in plain language, so there's no fine print surprise if you ever need to use it.
We'd rather earn a repeat customer with an honest small fix than push a system you don't need.
We can supply the photo documentation and repair scope most Hackensack, NJ carriers ask for before approving a claim.
Every Hackensack job reflects on the next referral, so we treat each one like it's the only advertising that matters.
"Called at 6am with a flooded basement and had a tech at my door by 8. No runaround, no upsell — just fixed it."
"Got quotes from three companies for a crack repair. These guys were the only ones who actually explained why the crack was happening instead of just quoting a price."
"Our old sump pump died during the worst storm of the year, obviously. They had a battery backup system installed within a day. Haven't worried about it since."
"Straightforward commercial quote, no back-and-forth, crew was professional the whole project."
"French drain install took two days like they said it would, not five. Yard was put back together better than before."
"Technician actually explained why the water was coming in instead of just quoting a number. First contractor who's done that for us."
