From a hairline foundation crack to a fully flooded crawl space, Halo Water Proofing has handled it in Cato before. We show up, we diagnose it straight, and we fix it right.
Halo Water Proofing started as a small NY crew and grew because Cato customers kept referring us to neighbors — that's still how most of our work comes in today.
Every technician on our Cato 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.
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 Cato customers didn't wake up one day with a flooded basement. It usually started small. These are the early signs worth calling about.
Odor is often the first sign Cato customers notice, well before any visible water shows up.
Stair-step cracks in block foundations are a common early warning sign we see across Cato-area homes.
That white chalky film on basement walls is efflorescence — mineral deposits left behind as water evaporates through concrete.
If your pump is running around the clock instead of only during storms, it's worth having it evaluated before it fails completely.
A bowing basement wall is a structural concern in addition to a water one — this is the kind of Cato call we prioritize fast.
These signs upstairs are often the last clue Cato homeowners notice, even though the moisture issue started in the basement months earlier.
Every Cato 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 Cato emergency crews extract standing water first, then diagnose where it's getting in so it doesn't happen again next storm.
Call for Emergency Service →Freeze-thaw cycles in Cato, NY 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 →Most sump pump failures we see in Cato happen during the exact storms that need them most — a battery backup closes that gap when the power drops.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →For Cato 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 Cato crews encapsulate the space fully — floor, walls, and vents — so moisture stops migrating into your living areas.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →We can phase larger Cato commercial projects around business hours or tenant schedules so operations aren't disrupted mid-project.
Request a Commercial Quote →No confusing steps, no hard sell — just the same process our Cato crews follow on every job.
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 Cato 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.
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.
Our trucks stage locally around Cato, which is why emergency calls typically get a technician on-site in under two hours, not "sometime tomorrow."
Our repairs come with written, transferable warranties — a real asset if you sell the Cato property later.
If your Cato basement just needs a $200 crack seal instead of a $12,000 system, that's what we'll tell you.
We document the damage with photos and a written scope your insurance adjuster can actually use, and we'll walk you through the claim process.
Our name is on trucks driving around Cato every day — we don't cut corners on a job our neighbors will see.

"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."
