Outside waterproofing

It's so nice to go downstairs to a DRY basement! We had to wait a while because so many people were taking advantage of the tax benefit, but it was worth it. Darby came by quickly to give us a thorough quote, which was exactly what the job cost, and included follow-up laying down gravel beside the house when it gets trampled down. I called on a Thursday evening for the follow-up and it was done by Friday at noon! Very polite, thorough, and friendly crew. Thanks to all of you!

Basement Waterproofing - back wall

From start to finish the experience with Darby and his team was excellent. They were prompt, professional and courteous. The workmanship was high quality and it was done on time and on budget. And they left the site cleaner than when they found it! I highly recommend them and would use them again.

foundation waterproofing

The only company that said: "No problem". As a single female, this was music to my ears. They arrived on time, cleaned up every day, were happy, polite, considerate, and trustworthy. And the basement is dry!!! Other companies can learn a great deal from them.

Exterior waterproofing of front sides of house

A few months after buying our house, we noticed water on our basement floor. This happened on a few different occasions, with more water showing up each time. We got tired of continuously "bailing" out our basement so we called a few waterproofing companies. The first place we called was Mud Monkeys, based on a review I read on Homestars. Darby called us back right away and despite the fact that it was late Sunday afternoon, he showed up at the house a few hours later. He was informative and totally straightforward about the work that needed to be done and gave us a couple of options on how to approach it. He dropped off a written quote the next day.
We decided to go with them because as I said he was just very straightforward without any sales pitch.
He showed up with his crew and completed the work on time. Not only were the guys fast and hardworking, they were extremely pleasant to deal with and also respectful of our neighbours. They cleaned up all materials, tools etc. after each day. Fantastic. As we said, impeccable work and attitude from Mud Monkeys!!

Thanks Tim, it was a pleasure working for you under the difficult circumstances (Tim lives on a high watertable in the Beaches, and it wasn't until the watertable was controlled that we could do our job properly. There are many streams and watertables in the Beaches and Riverdale area, that make doing the job properly difficult, if you don't know what you're doing) Again, thanks for choosing us to seal your basement. Darby

Interior Basement Waterproofing

We recently purchased a house close to downtown Toronto and were aware of a minor water issue when we purchased the house - after taking down walls and inspecting the issue it was bigger then we originally thought. We had a bunch of quotes from some pretty questionable folks... Mitch from Mudd Monkeys came by and immediately I knew that we would go with Darby and Mudd Monkeys - they were so knowledge and approachable. The jobs was done cleanly and professionally - the entire crew was polite and explained everything to me and my family through out the process. It amazed me how fast the works gets done; two part days start to finish. I never got to actually meet Darby but we spoke over the phone a few times; he even offered to walk me through the process if I wanted to do it myself! All in all a great experience - the dry wall is up and the basement is finished 6 day after Darby's crew completed the waterproofing. Excellent work - Highly recommended.

Chris, we really appreciate your kind words. I believe you're right, I don't think we ever met. That's the beauty of having a foreman like Mitch that I have complete confidence in. I have many men who have worked for me for a number of years that I trust to be respectful and diligent when it comes to meeting with customers, and stopping water problems.

Waterproofing basement

Even though we had to wait six weeks for them to come because they are so busy, I cannot recommend Darby and his team highly enough. They were excellent. We could not believe how tidy they were and how quickly they were finished. And they were highly respectful of our neighbour's property when they had to dig on the north side. After they finished, our water problems in the basement disappeared.

basement waterproofing

I discovered a leak in my stone foundation basement and a friend recommended the Mud Monkeys. I called up for an estimate and Darby arrived the next day, assessed the problem and provided a written quote by that evening. They dug around the outside wall and sealed it up beautifully. The work site was left clean in the evenings and was pristine at the end of the job. Darby is a wonderful person who will go out of his way to solve your problem (including going above and beyond what I expected). I only have praise for him and his team.

Foundation wall waterproofing

Darby and his crew did an amazing job. Needed to excavate and waterproof an old brick foundation. Darby was always prompt in returning calls, his crews showed up on time and worked in a tight downtown backyard and did a great job cleaning up. I highly recommend Mud Monkeys for your waterproofing needs.

Thank you Kevin, its always a challenge sealing a foundation in Cabbagetown, but it's definitley a great feeling when you know you have successfully stopped the water. These homes were built in the 1800's and numerous homeowners have had to do work on the foundation to stop water leaks. Once you have exposed the wall from the outside and have located the problem area, you can be assured you will be able to solve the problem. Thanks again for choosing us. Darby

Interior Basement Waterproofing

We are in a semi-detached that had water coming in from both the exterior and interior walls of our basement.We interviewed MANY companies. Various sources had us needing to re-drop our basement without a guarunteed result for the tune of $45,000. The costs we were being quoted were out of this world... and then came Mud Monkeys. Due to our unique situation, we chose to interior waterproof our basement upon their consultation. Not only did Darby provide the friendliest service, but also the best price. We intend to use Mud Monkeys to do our external waterproofing in the coming years, but can now use our basement as a comfortable living space in the meantime. Thanks Mud Monkeys!

Juliette, we genuinely appreciate your review. We were happy we were able to help you with your problem, which is very common amongst houses on the Danforth. Whenever a previous homeowner chooses to lower the floor without properly benching or underpinning you can have this problem. We can waterproof the exterior walls and not stop the problem, only an interior waterproof will work in this situation. We do look forward to waterproofing your exterior walls at a later date if you choose to restore them. Thanks again, Darby

waterproof complete perimeter of house

Darby and his team did a great job. We needed to completely waterproof the perimeter of our 80-year old bungalow.
Darby explained in detail the work that they were going to do, and was able to start a day early. His team was punctual, and even worked during the weekend to stay ahead of schedule.
Everyone on the team was courteous. They kept the site as clean as possible, and cleaned up and covered everything each night. They were always happy to answers our questions and explain details of the work as it progresses.
They completed the work ahead of schedule. The only thing left is to fill in some spots along the house as the ground settles more, and they will do this soon as part of the job.
We've had a few major rainfalls since the work was done, and the basement is dry!!!
Thanks!

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.
