Arlington, Tennessee, is the kind of town where new brick subdivisions off Airline Road and Highway 70 sit on ground that turns to gumbo after a summer storm. Most homes here are slab-on-grade builds from the 1990s forward, and the shrink-swell clay under those slabs holds water like a sponge, pushing it against foundation walls and up through slab edges long after the rain stops.
That is why homeowners in 38002 call Memphis Waterproofing. We know the difference between a hairline crack that needs epoxy injection and a wet lower wall that is telling you the water table is winning. Whether you are near Arlington High School or closer to the Wolf River bottoms, we start with a free basement inspection and tell you plainly what we find.
Waterproofing Us in Arlington (38002)
Arlington's newer subdivisions were graded for drainage, but the clay soil here does not drain. After a heavy thunderstorm, water ponds against foundations, finds its way into window wells, and shows up as dampness along the base of lower walls or as efflorescence on block. Because true basements are uncommon in this part of the Memphis metro, most of the calls we get are about wet slab edges, sunken garages, and foundation cracks that weep during downpours. Our team reads the grade, checks the footing drain and downspout extensions, and looks at how the lot sheds water before recommending anything. Sometimes parging and a proper exterior membrane solve it. Sometimes hydrostatic pressure means an interior drain tile system tied to a sump basin is the smarter, less disruptive answer than digging out a finished exterior.
We have worked across Arlington and the surrounding Memphis area long enough to know which streets drain poorly and which subdivisions sit on the heavier clay pockets. That local knowledge keeps us from overselling a fix you do not need.

How a Job Works in Arlington
Step 1: You call (901) 519-3853 or request a free basement inspection. We schedule a time that works for you, walk the property, and check the foundation, window wells, grading, and any existing drain tile or sump pump. You get a written scope with pricing before any work begins.
Step 2: On work day, our crew protects the work area and gets to it. In Arlington's tighter subdivision lots, we plan equipment staging around fences, landscaping, and driveway access, and we coordinate with your HOA when exterior work touches common areas. If the job requires a permit, such as structural foundation repair or egress window cutting, we pull it through the proper channels before we start.
Step 3: We clean up, haul away debris, and walk the finished work with you. You see the drain tile, the sump basin, the injection ports, or the new membrane before we call it done, and we leave your property as clean as we found it.
Pricing in Arlington depends on the size of the problem and how easy the site is to work on. Foundation crack repair typically starts around $450, sump pump installation and replacement starts at $1,200, and a full basement waterproofing project starts at $2,500. Interior drain tile runs from $50 per linear foot, exterior basement waterproofing from $95 per linear foot, and foundation waterproofing from $3,500. Bowing wall repair starts at $600, and vapor barrier installation starts at $3 per square foot. Access, soil conditions, the length of the run, and urgency all move the number, so we give you a firm quote after the free inspection. Call (901) 519-3853 to schedule yours.
