From a hairline foundation crack to a fully flooded crawl space, Halo Water Proofing has handled it in Kensington before. We show up, we diagnose it straight, and we fix it right.
Halo Water Proofing started as a small MD crew and grew because Kensington customers kept referring us to neighbors — that's still how most of our work comes in today.
We don't send apprentices to figure it out on your dime. Every Kensington 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.
📞 +1-866-476-1348Most Kensington customers didn't wake up one day with a flooded basement. It usually started small. These are the early signs worth calling about.
A musty smell in the basement or crawl space is usually moisture you can't see yet, not just "old house smell."
Even small cracks are worth a second look — they rarely stay small once seasonal ground movement gets involved.
It's easy to dismiss efflorescence as harmless dust, but it actually signals active moisture movement through the wall.
If your pump is running around the clock instead of only during storms, it's worth having it evaluated before it fails completely.
This is one sign we tell Kensington customers not to wait on — wall movement tends to progress rather than resolve on its own.
Peeling paint low on a basement wall or warped baseboards upstairs often trace back to moisture migrating up from below.
From an emergency pump swap at 2 a.m. to a full exterior drainage system, this is the work we do in Kensington every day.
When your Kensington basement floods, minutes matter for your drywall, flooring, and belongings. We dispatch a crew around the clock, pull the water, and start drying the space with commercial-grade equipment the same visit.
Call for Emergency Service →Freeze-thaw cycles in Kensington, MD push existing cracks wider every winter, which is why we recommend sealing them before they become an active leak rather than after.
Get a Crack Assessment →A tired or undersized sump pump is the #1 reason we get emergency calls in Kensington after heavy rain. We install battery backup units so your basement stays dry even if the power goes out mid-storm.
Schedule a Pump Inspection →For Kensington 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 →Older Kensington 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 Kensington 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.

You receive a written, itemized quote before any work begins — the number you approve is the number you're billed.

There's no verbal quote that magically grows once the crew arrives at your Kensington property — the written estimate is the final word.

Warranty terms are explained before you sign, in plain language, so there's no fine print surprise if you ever need to use it.
We'd rather earn a repeat customer with an honest small fix than push a system you don't need.
