Basement waterproofing

The guys did a tremendous job, kept the area clean and were courteous to the tenants. They started the job on the day they scheduled it and worked until it was done. They were efficient and on time.

We tend to run a pretty tight ship when it comes to scheduling.

Reliable and Professional Waterproofing

Friends of ours recommended Mud Monkeys to us for basement waterproofing, so we called Darby Braun for a quote in late February. We knew immediately that our home would be in excellent hands. Darby spent a lot of time inspecting our property, discussing our concerns, and explaining his plan. He provided us with an estimate quickly, and added us to his crew's schedule for approximately May 8.

Darby and his team arrived on May 8 as planned, and the crew headed by James accomplished more in their first day than we could imagine was possible. They were fast, worked incredibly hard, disturbed only as much ground as they absolutely needed to, and swept our property every single day. They treated our home with respect, were reliable, and answered our questions with a smile. They stacked our interlocking patio stones neatly in an unused corner of the yard, and even took the time to tie back and save a flowering shrub we thought would have to be sacrificed.

The majority of the waterproofing was done on the exterior, but one wall was done on the inside and a sump pit installed. The work was completed in two weeks as promised, the final bill matched Darby's quote exactly, and their attention to detail was extraordinary.

I can't imagine a more professional, friendly, or talented group of guys. If you need waterproofing done, this is the company you need to call.

Mud Monkeys was great!

The Mud Monkeys team was efficient, friendly and prompt. They did a great job, kept the work area tidy and replanted the plants afterwards. Unlike another company, they assessed based on our particular problem and did not try to pressure us to do a sump pump or window well, which were not necessary in our circumstances. Thanks, Darby! Great working with you! - Marilyn

Basement waterproofing.

We haven't had any actual water in the basement yet. But we knew that there was moisture behind the walls. We put it off for a couple of years, and then decided to bite the bullet. Mud Monkrys came highly recommended. They were efficient, courteous, and generally lovely to deal with.

Underpinning and excavating an addition to our basement

Mud Monkeys were a true pleasure to work with: from getting the estimate to starting the work, to finishing it. Darby took the time to explain and answer all our questions. He is a true man of his word he is honest and pleasant.
Every aspect of the work was extremely professionally done. Darby was communicative, easy to get a hold of and fast with returning phone calls.
The job started the time it was scheduled to start; the team arrive to work on time every day started working right away, no delays on absences.

I work from home and never felt inconvenient or uncomfortable with them working in my house, they were professional, respectful, hard working and very nice!

We cant say enough about how pleased we are with the work Mud Monkeys did! We give them 7 stars out of 5.

fixing a sinkhole/small foundation repair

For years, water from a leaky downpipe (long since diverted and capped) had eroded part of my foundation and the ground around it, but the extent of the damage was not clear until the asphalt over the area collapsed, exposing the sinkhole. The repairs needed weren't big or complicated, but I needed the work to be done before the onset of winter. Mud Monkeys responded quickly and was able to get the job done in time and at an affordable price much lower than the next-lowest quote I got. The repair is secure and leads water away from the foundations. I'm happy with the work.

$500.00

Foundation waterproofing

Mud Monkeys is possibly the best contracting company that I have ever dealt with. Darby was upfront and honest about what needed to be done, and quoted a reasonable price for waterproofing our foundation. The crew was incredibly professional, explained all of the work being done from start to finish and offered to show me what was being done as the work progressed. They gave me a date to start the work and stuck to the timeline proposed. I would recommend them to anyone considering having their foundation waterproofed.

Basement waterproofing

I was referred to Mud Monkeys by a friend but also got several quotes from a variety of companies to waterproof the entire southern length of our basement foundation. From the beginning, I was so impressed with Darby's professionalism, and it was obvious to me from the start that these were the guys for the job. He provided a few different quotes with different scenarios, always responded promptly, provided detailed explanations of the work, and was able to offer us a slight discount when I said I was choosing between two companies. The guys on the job were also very professional. They maintained a clean and safe workspace, and did an excellent job of cleaning up afterwards. They gave honest assessments of the condition of our foundation wall, and I felt as if I could trust their judgement. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company, and would definitely work with them again in the future.

Waterproofing

Darby, Nick & the Mud Monkeys crew couldn't have been any better. Quote was reasonable, work was completed on time & was of superior quality. The guys explained what they were doing every step along the way & left the property clean & tidy each & every day. Darby recommended other contractors to assist with the plumbing & cement work that we needed & the my proved to be terrific as well. We'd happily recommend Mud Monkeys to anyone needing waterproofing work - they did a great job.

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.
