Halo Water Proofing has been the Cato 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 NY-licensed, fully insured waterproofing outfit that's spent years learning exactly how water moves through Cato-area foundations, and exactly how to stop it.
We don't send apprentices to figure it out on your dime. Every Cato 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.
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.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Water problems rarely announce themselves all at once — they usually show up as small clues first. Here's what our Cato technicians hear about most often before an inspection.
Odor is often the first sign Cato customers notice, well before any visible water shows up.
Hairline cracks can widen over a Cato winter's freeze-thaw cycle and become active leak points by spring.
Efflorescence is a clear sign that water is actively passing through your Cato 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 Cato storm.
This is one sign we tell Cato customers not to wait on — wall movement tends to progress rather than resolve on its own.
Flooring that's cupping or warping near an exterior wall is a common clue our Cato crews trace back to a drainage issue.
From an emergency pump swap at 2 a.m. to a full exterior drainage system, this is the work we do in Cato every day.
Standing water in your basement doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Cato emergency crews pump out the basement first, then diagnose where it's getting in so it doesn't happen again next storm.
Call for Emergency Service →Hairline cracks are how most Cato basements start leaking. We use epoxy injection to seal the crack from the inside out, stopping the leak at the source instead of just painting over the symptom.
Get a Crack Assessment →Already have a sump pump that's failing or too small for your Cato 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 Cato basement floor — one of the most reliable long-term fixes we install.
Ask About Drain Systems →Older Cato homes with vented crawl spaces are especially prone to seasonal moisture swings — encapsulation closes that off for good.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →We work directly with Cato property managers and business owners on below-grade waterproofing, parking structure sealing, and large-scale drainage corrections — scheduled around your operating hours.

You call +1-866-476-1348 and talk to a real technician who asks the right questions to understand what's likely happening at your Cato property.
A technician inspects the Cato property in person, checking the foundation, drainage, grading, and any active moisture before recommending a fix.
No verbal estimates that change later. What's quoted for your Cato job is what's invoiced.
Our crew completes the work, cleans up the site, and walks you through the warranty coverage on what was installed.
You get a written number before any work begins — the price you approve is the price you pay, no change-order games.
A local dispatch model means the technician who answers questions about your Cato job is the same one who shows up to do it.
If a covered repair fails, we come back and make it right. That's written into every contract, not just promised on the phone.
If your Cato 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 Cato, NY carriers ask for before approving a claim.
Word of mouth is still how most Cato 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."
"Insurance claim was a headache until they stepped in with photos and a written scope. Adjuster approved it within a week after that."
Whether you're in the older, established parts of Cato or a newer subdivision still settling, our crews have likely already worked on a foundation like yours nearby.
