Halo Water Proofing has been the Montello area's go-to call for Basement Waterproofing because we answer the phone, show up on time, and stand behind the work.
We're Halo Water Proofing — a WI-licensed, fully insured waterproofing outfit that's spent years learning exactly how water moves through Montello-area foundations, and exactly how to stop it.
We don't send apprentices to figure it out on your dime. Every Montello 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.
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 Montello 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 Montello winter's freeze-thaw cycle and become active leak points by spring.
Efflorescence is a clear sign that water is actively passing through your Montello foundation wall, even if you've never seen standing water.
A sump pump that never stops cycling is often working harder than it should, or is undersized for your Montello lot's water table.
This is one sign we tell Montello customers not to wait on — wall movement tends to progress rather than resolve on its own.
Peeling paint low on a basement wall or warped baseboards upstairs often trace back to moisture migrating up from below.
Every Montello 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 Montello emergency crews pump out the basement first, then diagnose the entry point so it doesn't happen again next storm.
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 Montello crews assess whether it's a simple seal or a sign of bigger settlement issues before recommending a fix.
Get a Crack Assessment →Already have a sump pump that's failing or too small for your Montello lot? We'll test it, tell you honestly whether it needs replacing, and size the new one to your actual water volume — not the cheapest unit on the truck.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →An interior drain tile system channels water to a sump pump before it ever reaches your Montello basement floor — one of the most reliable long-term fixes we install.
Ask About Drain Systems →A damp, uninsulated crawl space under a Montello home drives up humidity, invites mold, and wastes energy year-round. We seal it with heavy-duty vapor barrier, address any standing moisture, and can add dehumidification if needed.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →We can phase larger Montello commercial projects around business hours or tenant schedules so operations aren't disrupted mid-project.

We start with a phone conversation, not a script — enough to know whether this is an emergency dispatch or a scheduled inspection.
A technician inspects the Montello property in person, checking the foundation, drainage, grading, and any active moisture before recommending a fix.
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.
You get a written number before any work begins — the price you approve is the price you pay, no change-order games.
Our trucks stage locally around Montello, which is why emergency calls typically get a technician on-site in under two hours, not "sometime tomorrow."
Warranty terms are explained before you sign, in plain language, so there's no fine print surprise if you ever need to use it.
If your Montello basement just needs a $200 crack seal instead of a $12,000 system, that's what we'll tell you.
We can supply the photo documentation and repair scope most Montello, WI carriers ask for before approving a claim.
Word of mouth is still how most Montello customers find us, which keeps our standards higher than a big out-of-town franchise.
"Called at 6am with a flooded basement and had a tech at my door by 8. No runaround, no upsell — just fixed it."
"Fair price, showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves. Wish more contractors worked like this."
"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."
"We had three foundation cracks and expected a huge bill. Turned out only one needed injection — they didn't try to sell us on the other two. That honesty is rare."
"Technician actually explained why the water was coming in instead of just quoting a number. First contractor who's done that for us."
