A Dedicated Team Providing Reliable Moisture Protection

Our story begins long before Sir Waterproof was founded. Phillip Straghalis, the owner and founder, struggled with severe allergies as a child that seemed impossible to control. After months of searching, the cause was finally discovered: hidden mold growing behind the walls of his bedroom due to a leak no one knew existed. That experience shaped Phillip’s mission and pushed him toward a career focused on solving moisture problems at their source.

With more than 15 years of experience in waterproofing, water removal, and remediation, Phillip built Sir Waterproof to provide homeowners and property managers with reliable solutions they can depend on. Our approach is systematic, structured, and designed to prevent moisture from returning.

We focus on long-term protection rather than temporary fixes, which is why our Master System is central to what we do. By moving water farther from the home and dispersing it into a high-capacity dry bed, we offer a method that outperforms standard drainage techniques.

We take pride in being a licensed, insured, and locally owned business serving Acton, MA, and surrounding communities. Our team includes multilingual professionals, IICRC-certified technicians, and dedicated responders available 24/7 when emergencies strike. We believe in loyalty, strong communication, and dependable workmanship that homeowners can trust year after year.

Whether you need waterproofing, water removal, mold remediation, or crawl space solutions, our goal is simple: deliver reliable results that protect your home and make your space safer, healthier, and more comfortable.

Our Values

Customer Loyalty and Support

Customer Loyalty and Support

We built Sir Waterproof on the belief that when we remain loyal to our customers, they remain loyal to us. This philosophy guides everything we do, from the first phone call to the final inspection. We take time to understand the problem, explain the process clearly, and deliver solutions that genuinely support long-term protection.

Our team is trained to provide reliable service that puts homeowners and property managers at ease during stressful situations. Moisture issues are disruptive, and customers deserve a team that communicates openly, works efficiently, and shows respect for their home.

Whether responding to emergencies or completing scheduled waterproofing work, we put care into every step of the process. This commitment to loyalty builds lasting relationships and drives our mission to protect every home we serve.

Certified Knowledge and Professional Training

Our team carries IICRC certifications, RIA membership, and extensive field experience that supports every job we take on. These credentials reinforce our commitment to using proper techniques, accurate moisture measurements, and safe remediation procedures.

Water damage and mold require professional understanding, especially when structural materials, indoor air quality, or long-term moisture patterns are involved. By staying aligned with industry standards, we offer service that is consistent, reliable, and built on proven methods.

Training also allows our team to respond confidently during complex situations, whether we are removing flood water, diagnosing mold, or designing a waterproofing system. We continue investing in education to ensure our customers receive service rooted in precision and professionalism.

A Systematic Approach for Lasting Results

Moisture control requires more than patchwork fixes. Our Master System is designed to correct problems at the source by directing water farther from the foundation and into a stable dry bed. This method reduces hydrostatic pressure and improves drainage performance more effectively than traditional systems.

We take the same structured approach across every service we provide. From crawl space moisture control to basement waterproofing and mold remediation, we follow a process that starts with accurate diagnostics and ends with durable protection. Our focus is long-term reliability.

Every material, installation step, and drying procedure is chosen to support the system’s longevity. Homeowners deserve solutions that hold up through New England weather, rising groundwater, and seasonal changes. By following a systematic process, we ensure consistent results and dependable performance for every customer.

Our team is built on training, accountability, and structured systems that deliver consistent results. Every project follows a defined process designed to protect homes from moisture and water intrusion long-term. From inspections to final installation, we focus on reliability, clear communication, and workmanship that holds up over time.

We believe strong systems create strong outcomes. That philosophy allows our team to respond quickly, work efficiently, and deliver dependable results across every service we provide. Whether handling waterproofing, water removal, or remediation, each team member follows the same proven methodology to ensure consistency and quality. This approach supports scalability while maintaining the same level of care homeowners expect when protecting their property.
