Halo Water Proofing has been the Altoona 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 WI crew and grew because Altoona customers kept referring us to neighbors — that's still how most of our work comes in today.

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.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Most Altoona customers didn't wake up one day with a flooded basement. It usually started small. These are the early signs worth calling about.
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 Altoona winter's freeze-thaw cycle and become active leak points by spring.
Efflorescence is a clear sign that water is actively passing through your Altoona foundation wall, even if you've never seen standing water.
A pump under constant strain tends to fail at the worst possible time — usually during the next big Altoona storm.
This is one sign we tell Altoona customers not to wait on — wall movement tends to progress rather than resolve on its own.
These signs upstairs are often the last clue Altoona homeowners notice, even though the moisture issue started in the basement months earlier.
From an emergency pump swap at 2 a.m. to a full exterior drainage system, this is the work we do in Altoona every day.
Storm season in Altoona, WI means our emergency line gets busy fast — we triage calls by severity so active flooding at your Altoona address jumps the queue ahead of routine inspections.
Call for Emergency Service →Freeze-thaw cycles in Altoona, WI 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 Altoona after heavy rain. We install right-sized primary pumps so your basement stays dry even if the power goes out mid-storm.
