Halo Water Proofing has been the Reston 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 VA-licensed, fully insured waterproofing outfit that's spent years learning exactly how water moves through Reston-area foundations, and exactly how to stop it.
Every technician on our Reston 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.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Water problems rarely announce themselves all at once — they usually show up as small clues first. Here's what our Reston 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 Reston 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 Reston storm.
A bowing basement wall is a structural concern in addition to a water one — this is the kind of Reston call we prioritize fast.
These signs upstairs are often the last clue Reston homeowners notice, even though the moisture issue started in the basement months earlier.
From an emergency pump swap at 2 a.m. to a full exterior drainage system, this is the work we do in Reston every day.
Standing water in your basement doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our Reston emergency crews pump out the basement first, then diagnose the source 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 Reston crews assess whether it's a simple seal or a sign of bigger settlement issues before recommending a fix.
Get a Crack Assessment →Most sump pump failures we see in Reston happen during the exact storms that need them most — a battery backup closes that gap when the power drops.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →For Reston 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 Reston 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 Reston 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 Reston 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 Reston 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.
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.
Because we're actually based near Reston rather than routing calls through a national center, we can usually get someone out the same day you call.
Our repairs come with written, transferable warranties — a real asset if you sell the Reston property later.
Our technicians are paid to diagnose correctly, not to upsell — that changes the advice you actually get on-site.
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.
Word of mouth is still how most Reston customers find us, which keeps our standards higher than a big out-of-town franchise.
"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."
"French drain install took two days like they said it would, not five. Yard was put back together better than before."
"Technician actually explained why the water was coming in instead of just quoting a number. First contractor who's done that for us."
