Halo Water Proofing has been the Lake Elmo area's go-to call for Emergency Waterproofing because we answer the phone, show up on time, and stand behind the work.
We're Halo Water Proofing — a MN-licensed, fully insured waterproofing outfit that's spent years learning exactly how water moves through Lake Elmo-area foundations, and exactly how to stop it.
We don't send apprentices to figure it out on your dime. Every Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo winter's freeze-thaw cycle and become active leak points by spring.
That white chalky film on basement walls is efflorescence — mineral deposits left behind as water evaporates through concrete.
A pump under constant strain tends to fail at the worst possible time — usually during the next big Lake Elmo storm.
A bowing basement wall is a structural concern in addition to a water one — this is the kind of Lake Elmo call we prioritize fast.
Flooring that's cupping or warping near an exterior wall is a common clue our Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo every day.
Standing water in your basement doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Lake Elmo emergency crews remove the water first, then diagnose the source so it doesn't happen again next storm.
Call for Emergency Service →Hairline cracks are how most Lake Elmo 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 →Most sump pump failures we see in Lake Elmo happen during the exact storms that need them most — a battery backup closes that gap when the power drops.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →Some Lake Elmo lots need both an interior and exterior system working together — we'll tell you honestly if that's the case rather than selling just one.
Ask About Drain Systems →Older Lake Elmo homes with vented crawl spaces are especially prone to seasonal moisture swings — encapsulation closes that off for good.
Get a Crawl Space Quote →Commercial properties in Lake Elmo carry bigger stakes when water gets in: inventory, tenants, downtime. We scope commercial jobs with the same crew leads who run our residential work, backed by written specs and timelines.

"They came out the same afternoon I called about water coming in during a storm. Explained everything before they touched anything. Basement's been bone dry since."
"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."
