Waterproofing

MudMonkeys repaired a crack in the foundation and waterproofed the area. The team was efficient, thorough and cleaned the area well upon completion. The 20 warranty is much appreciated. No more leaking! Thanks!

Waterproofing with MudMonkeys

The Mud Monkeys did an outstanding job waterproofing our home. The team was punctual, reliable, professional, thorough, efficient and clean. Our neighbour remarked that she was incredibly impressed by all of these qualities and would certainly hire them if she ever needed waterproofing on her side of the shared driveway.

Could not recommend Mud Monkeys highly enough

Mud Monkeys were transparent, communicative and kind, and did an excellent job (of what was truly hard work), in a timely fashion, for a fair price.

Mud Monkeys came recommended to us given their work in wonky old east side houses. We were looking to dig down 4' or so, underpin and waterproof inside. Mud Monkeys quoted a fair price, and were transparent and forthcoming with details about considerations and potential challenges, so we could make informed choices when we needed to.

The team onsite was professional, friendly and respectful and if I had a question about something, they responded fairly and quickly every time. They were also fun, funny and seemed to work really well together. I think that's a really big deal, as I think it speaks to the great leadership of their onsite crew lead, and the senior leadership of the company.

Darby the owner is honest, kind and ethical (and utterly delightful) and I believe that's how he runs his company. Having never heard of Mud Monkeys just a few months ago, I am absolutely joining their fan club.

A million out of ten stars from me.

Thanks for the kind words Sara.
It truly was a pleasure working with you and glad we could hand over a finished product you were happy with.
Our men really are top notch and make a tough job seem bearable with a smile.
Hope the rest of your renovation goes as well the rest of the way.
Take care.

Basement Internal and external water proofing

Highly recommended!
I had a basement that had a serious water problem. Darby came out and gave me a very fair quote and explained exactly how, when and what they are going to do. Darby and his crew did an amazing job so after they finished I also asked to waterproof the basement at my rental property.
The project was completed last summer so I waited 9 months to write this review. After the fall and the long winter with snow and rain not even a single drop of water leaked in my basements.
Great job Darby!

Thank you for entrusting us with solving your water issues Joseph. With so many waterproofing companies out there with several different systems in use. We've used the same system for over 30 years and always leave the customer dry and happy at the end of the process.
Glad you are another pleased customer on our list. It was a pleasure doing business with you.
Take care

Basement Waterproofing

The team was able to come assess our issue and even start work on an urgent basis. They were professional, prompt in all communications and did everything they could to work with our schedule and context. Also came immediately to assess and address an additional issue. Could not have asked for a better experience. Will absolutely go to Mud Monkeys first for any future issues.

Basement Waterproofing

Great experience from start to finish. Relaxed meeting where they took the time to explain all of our options, followed by a reasonable quote and quick follow-up to schedule us in. We had concerns about doing interior work during the Omicron outbreak and they were happy to postpone. When they did come, the team was exceptional - friendly, clean, and organized. The owner Darby was attentive to any questions. Recommended highly.

Ten years ago. Dry as a bone.

Perimeter of the entire house waterproofed. New weeping tiles. Darby worked with an excellent exterminator to treat the house for termites.
Work done exactly on time on budget. Plus the gang was the happiest you could imagine. Neat and clean, too.

Thanks for circling back around Don!
Super happy you're still pleased with the investment you put into your home. We do a lot of work with Aetna pest control. They love our waterproofing system of the parging, tar and plastic as the insects (especially termites) won't go through it.
Your warrantee is still good for another 10 years but trust you'll still be dry for many years after that!
Take care.

Water leak trouble shooting

When listing a property for sale we knew we had to deal with water issues in the basement, we got a Darby to come out right away. He trouble was able to shoot a job that was poorly done by a previous company and the completion of the work was part of the sale and security to new buyers. Giving me a happy seller and happy new owners! Great communication, clear quotes and timelines were met!

2nd project - amazing results - the best in the biz

Mud Monkeys did a full underpin of our detached home in Toronto - and did an incredible job. This was actually our second time working with them - we did a similar project about 12 years ago. When we moved and wanted to underpin our new home, we immediately wanted to work with them again. We did due diligence and got other quotes - but also had vendors give us bad advice in the process. In the end Mud Monkeys weren't the cheapest (but also not the most expensive) but it was worth the peace of mind to work with them. They are incredibly experienced, trustworthy and just decent people to work with. Darby and Nick lead their team with confidence and both are extremely responsive to any questions throughout the project. Their crews are respectful and friendly - all decent guys doing a really hard job. Underpinning is a huge job,
and you need to trust your vendors to do the right thing, and you can trust these folks. Don't expect a major job like this to come without some level of dirt, disruption and noise - this is a MAJOR project. However this team at Mudmonkeys always did their best to minimize their impact on us while living in the home during this work. They went above and beyond to help us find vendors for related work (HVAC, plumbing etc) and making the schedule work around these other vendors. The work was completed to a high standard of quality and we are thrilled - again - with their work. I would not hesitate to recommend these folks in a heartbeat.

Really appreciate the amazing review Sarah.
It was a pleasure to work with you and James a 2nd time around and are really happy you were pleased with the finish product!
We always try to be as responsive as possible and only like to refer other trades that we trust and know are accountable for their own work.
Take care!

Exterior Waterproofing

Quality Work delivered on time and at a reasonable cost.

Mid renovation of our basement, extensive water damage was discovered inside an exterior wall.

Darby of Mud Monkeys was recommended by another contractor working on our project.

Darby recommended waterproofing the exterior of the wall. He provided us with a thorough explanation of the process and identified potential issues that needed to be addressed due to the confined work area.

The Mud Monkeys crew was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.

A big thank you to Darby for providing such a positive experience.

We highly recommend Mud Monkeys and plan to use them again on future renovations.

More about Mud Monkeys Waterproofing

WATERPROOFING

Tired of mopping the water in your basement? Does your basement smell of mould and mildew? Is your foundation wall retaining water slowly and deteriorating? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then the following will describe the reasons why, and how, to eliminate the problem. The cause of your basement's musty smell is because your foundation wall is retaining water, be it in the hollow block cavities or trapped behind the double brick or stone wall, as well as the water that is absorbed by the block, brick and stone. This combination causes the wall to produce mould, mildew and epharecense. The water trapped in the wall slowly deteriorates the wall, starting at the bottom.The water that makes its way into the basement through the wall and seems to cause us the most grief may not be the most concerning problem. The same problem will not occur with a solid poured concrete wall. The reason being you will find a defined crack in the solid wall that allows all the water to enter in, without retaining little, or any water.Regardless of which type of foundation you have, it can become watertight, mould and mildew-free by sealing your foundation from the OUTSIDE. With solid poured concrete foundations, you can inject the crack from the inside and the elements stay out.You must expose your foundation wall from grade level to 6" below the top of the footing. Then you must clean the wall thoroughly, exposing the deteriorated areas and cleaning all the dust and dirt from the wall. Then, restore any cracks or loose mortar joints with hydrolic cement. Cement coat the wall,Tar and install 6mm poly plastic on top. Once the wall is treated, install a 4" continuous weeping tile covered with 6 inches of 3/4" stone. Then back-fill the earth compacting at every foot. At grade level slope the earth, concrete, interlocking etc. away from the house.This method never fails. I have used this system over 13 years without fail. I have the references for you to refer to. We also have a photo album to take you step by step through the procedure.So, stop mopping! Relieve your allergies from mold and mildew and restore your foundation. When you do decide to restore your foundation do it the right way - from the outside. Remember, 40% of all my work is fixing other people's attempt to stop the water.
