Water doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Arrow Tight Waterproofing brings licensed Waterproofing expertise to Burns, TN with same-day dispatch and upfront flat-rate pricing.


Arrow Tight Waterproofing was built by tradespeople who got tired of seeing homeowners in Burns, TN get sold band-aid fixes. We specialize in permanent waterproofing solutions β interior drainage systems, exterior membrane applications, crack injection, and crawl space encapsulation β using commercial-grade materials that hold up decade after decade.
Every technician on our team is IICRC-certified and carries full liability coverage. We pull permits where required, provide moisture readings before and after every job, and stand behind our work with a written warranty that transfers with the property.
Most basement floods don't start as floods. They start as these ignored details. If you see any of these in your Burns property, schedule a free inspection before the damage compounds.
White powder on concrete means water has been migrating through your wall. The mineral deposits are left behind when water evaporates after passing through the block or poured wall.
Vertical cracks are often settling. Horizontal cracks in block foundations indicate lateral soil pressure β a structural emergency, not just a cosmetic issue.
If your basement smells earthy or musty after every heavy rain, active water intrusion is feeding organic growth β likely behind the drywall or under the slab.
Water at the wall-floor joint indicates that groundwater pressure is pushing beneath your slab. This entry point worsens with every wet season if not addressed at the source.
Paint and drywall absorb moisture vapor before you can see liquid water. Bubbling or peeling in a below-grade space is almost always a moisture problem, not a paint adhesion failure.
A sump pump that cycles every few minutes β or runs non-stop β is managing a groundwater situation your current system wasn't designed for. It will burn out, and the next flood won't wait for a replacement.
Iron in your concrete doesn't rust unless water penetration has reached it. Rust staining is a reliable indicator that your foundation waterproofing envelope has been breached.
Hairline slab cracks that weep during wet weather indicate hydrostatic pressure building under the slab. Left alone, that pressure will widen the cracks and lift sections of the floor.
Arrow Tight Waterproofing doesn't sell one-size-fits-all waterproofing packages. We diagnose the entry point, the pressure source, and the existing drainage condition β then we build the solution around what your specific property needs.
Interior drain tile systems collect groundwater at the footing level before it enters your living space. We saw-cut the slab perimeter, excavate to the footing, install gravel-bed perforated pipe, and tie it into a sump system with battery backup β so you stay dry even during power outages.
These systems don't fight hydrostatic pressure β they redirect it.
π Get a Free Drainage Quote βExterior waterproofing is the most comprehensive solution available β stopping water before it contacts your foundation wall. We excavate to the footing, apply a rubberized polymer membrane to the exterior foundation face, install dimple-mat drainage board, and backfill with clean crushed stone to redirect surface water away from the structure.
We use SilkOate, UMARK, and other commercial-grade membrane systems β not the paint-on damp-proofing that deteriorates within a few years.
π Schedule an Exterior Assessment βPoured concrete foundation cracks are repaired from the interior using high-pressure polyurethane or epoxy injection β the appropriate chemistry depends on whether the crack is actively leaking or dry. Polyurethane foam expands into wet, actively leaking cracks and cures flexible, accommodating minor future movement. Epoxy injection is used in dry cracks where structural bond restoration is the goal.
For concrete block foundation walls showing horizontal cracking or inward bowing, we pair crack repair with carbon fiber reinforcement straps anchored at the floor and rim joist.
π Get a Crack Injection Estimate βWe install a minimum 20-mil reinforced poly vapor barrier over the entire crawl space floor and seal it up the walls to the sill plate β then seal all vents, install a conditioned air supply or dedicated crawl space dehumidifier, and spec a sump system if groundwater is present.
Encapsulation turns your crawl space from an uncontrolled dirt floor into a semi-conditioned space.
π Schedule a Crawl Space Inspection βThe sump pit itself matters as much as the pump. We construct 18-inch diameter pits with a gravel bed at the base for proper water collection, sealed lids to prevent vapor and radon entry, and a discharge line that terminates a minimum of 10 feet from the foundation at a positive-grade daylight point.
For finished basements and properties with high groundwater, we recommend a dual-pump system: a primary submersible at normal operating level and a pedestal backup set two inches higher.
π Get a Sump System Quote βBasement window wells are one of the most underestimated water entry points in residential waterproofing. When the well drain becomes clogged or the well itself is sized incorrectly for your roof drainage load, water pools against the window frame and enters through the sill, the window-to-frame joint, or the block wall directly adjacent.
Window well covers are a maintenance measure, not a waterproofing solution β but paired with proper drainage installation.
π Book a Window Well Assessment βThere are a lot of waterproofing companies in TN. Here's what separates the ones who fix the problem from the ones who fix the symptom β and why Arrow Tight Waterproofing consistently lands on the right side of that line.
Every estimate begins with a physical inspection of every visible moisture entry point.
The waterproofing membrane we apply to your foundation is the same specification used on commercial buildings in TN β a 60-mil rubber barrier.

π Call +1-866-476-1348 β Free Estimate"The crew showed up within 3 hours of my call at 9 PM on a Tuesday. I had water coming in through a crack in my poured wall at the floor joint β had been watching it for two seasons and finally called when it started spreading. They installed an interior drain system along two walls and a new sump pit. The work took two days. I've had three major rain events since then β completely dry. Worth every dollar.Highly recommend the whole crew."
"I've had two other companies look at my foundation crack before these guys. Both gave me vague proposals and neither one could tell me exactly why I had water or where it was coming in. Arrow Tight Waterproofing came out, brought a thermal camera, and showed me on screen exactly where the moisture was concentrated. The polyurethane injection they did on the crack has held for 18 months now with zero seepage. That's the most competent inspection I've ever gotten from a contractor.I'd recommend them to anyone dealing with the same problem."
"I bought a house in Burns, TN knowing it had a moisture issue in the crawl space β previous owners had put down a thin plastic sheet that was doing nothing. Arrow Tight Waterproofing encapsulated the entire crawl space with a 20-mil liner, sealed the vents, and installed a dehumidifier. Within two weeks my downstairs floors stopped feeling cold and damp and the musty smell completely disappeared. The technician walked me through every step before starting. No surprises on the invoice.That kind of result speaks for itself."
"We had a window well that flooded every time we got more than an inch of rain. The well was filling up and water was coming straight in through the window sill joint. The fix was a regraded well with a perforated pipe tied into our existing interior drain. The whole job took one day. The crew was professional, cleaned up completely, and the well has handled every storm since without an issue.That kind of result speaks for itself."
"Called Arrow Tight Waterproofing after my old sump pump failed during a storm and I had 4 inches of water on my basement floor. They answered at midnight, arrived within an hour, and had a temporary pump running within 20 minutes of showing up. Once the emergency was managed, they walked me through a permanent drainage system upgrade. That was 8 months ago β I've had 6 rain events including one significant storm and the basement has stayed dry.That kind of result speaks for itself."
"As a commercial property manager overseeing several buildings in Burns, TN, I've worked with a lot of waterproofing contractors. Arrow Tight Waterproofing is the first one that showed up to the initial walk with a written inspection checklist and completed it on-site before quoting. Every other contractor just eyeballed it and sent a number. Their exterior membrane on the building we had done 3 years ago is holding perfectly with zero callbacks.Highly recommend the whole crew."
