Excellent work and very pleasant to deal with

No homeowner wants to discover water or moisture in their basement, especially if they were confident waterproofing had been done previously. Sadly that was the case for us and we had a breach. Darby was very professional and provided a prompt and reasonable quote . His crew of Brandon and Richie were excellent and extremely polite and conscientious young men. Days later we was discovered that a bit more work needed to be done to fully resolve the issue and this was quickly taken care of for not much more than materials and labour. This is a highly recommended company by my wife and I.

Professional and Trusted Basement Reno

I was referred to Mud Monkeys by a friend and I couldn't be happier. The provided reliable service. Was always on time. Communicated well. And has as an equally trusted network of technicians who they were able to refer me to for my basement renovation.
You won't go wrong with this team.

Excellent work.

I reached out to Darby at Mud Monkeys on the recommendation of my neighbor. They were able to quickly diagnose the issue and waterproof from the inside of the basement. Having COPD they were so considerate controlling the dust. They also went out if their way to accommodate my small basement in finding a perfect spot for the sump pump.

All around a great experience. Friendly and very helpful staff. Excellent work and job site kept clean.

Highly recommend!

Exterior waterproofing

I had water running across the basement floor from my north wall, and remembered that my neighbours had been happy with the work that Mud Monkeys did for them, so I called them. They were pleasant, professional, and effective, and solved that problem. When I needed the rest of my walls waterproofed, naturally I called Darby.

Dry basement!

Despite having done waterproofing with another company (who shall remain nameless!) in the past, we were still getting water coming into our East York basement.

Mud Monkeys was recommended to me and I'm really happy I went with them. Very responsive, reliable, professional and reasonable.

Our basement has remained dry since!

I'd definitely recommend Mud Monkeys!

Leaky Basement

Darby and his team were incredible. I had called them years earlier and they directed me to check my evestroughs and that fixed the issue. Years later, I found myself with more water issues and this time, it was not the evestroughs, it was within the walls of my basement. I required an interior waterproofing job. Darby and his team were extremely professional. They knew exactly what to do and it explained it to me in a way that made it easy to understand. It's been over 1.5 years since the work was completed and I have not had a drop of water in my basement since. They managed my expectations with regards to the length of time the project would take and did a fantastic job cleaning up after themselves. I believe that Darby's prices are extremely fair and competitive and highly recommend Darby and his team for your water issues.

Wonderful workers

Mud Monkeys are a great crew to have in your home. They are respectful, informative, clean (as much as possible) and a real pleasure to deal with.

Darby always responded quickly to any questions we had, and he dealt with the sometimes-confusing aspects of digging out a 100+ yr old house with experience and aplomb.

If I had another basement to dig out I would definitely hire them.

Excellent quality and price

I have nothing but high praise for Darby and his team. This was our third project with Mud Monkeys for (in two different locations), and this time it was an interior waterproofing job for part of our basement and cold room. Darby made the whole process so easy to manage. He is such a professional and knows how to address the quirky and often complex water problems experienced by the owners of old Toronto houses. The project started and finished on time, and the guys did a great job of cleaning everything up at the end. Darby's prices are extremely fair and competitive. You won't find a better option in terms of quality and price. Many thanks to you Darby - it was a pleasure working with you again!

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.
