Halo Water Proofing has been the Short Hills area's go-to call for Wet Basement Repair 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 Short Hills-area foundations, and exactly how to stop it.

One call gets you a straight answer and a real appointment window — not a call-back promise.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Most Short Hills 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 Short Hills customers notice, well before any visible water shows up.
Stair-step cracks in block foundations are a common early warning sign we see across Short Hills-area homes.
Efflorescence is a clear sign that water is actively passing through your Short Hills 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 Short Hills storm.
If a foundation wall looks like it's leaning or bulging inward, that's beyond a simple seal and needs a full assessment.
These signs upstairs are often the last clue Short Hills homeowners notice, even though the moisture issue started in the basement months earlier.
Every Short Hills 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 Short Hills emergency crews remove the water first, then diagnose the entry point so it doesn't happen again next storm.
Call for Emergency Service →Hairline cracks are how most Short Hills basements start leaking. We use polyurethane 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 Short Hills 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 Short Hills basement floor — one of the most reliable long-term fixes we install.
Ask About Drain Systems →A damp, uninsulated crawl space under a Short Hills 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 Short Hills commercial projects around business hours or tenant schedules so operations aren't disrupted mid-project.

"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."
"Crawl space smelled awful for years. Encapsulation crew did a clean job and the smell is completely gone upstairs now."
"Managed our building's parking garage waterproofing project. Kept to the schedule, communicated well with tenants, minimal disruption."
"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."
