Exterior and interior waterproofing

Excellent work and terrific service.
We used Mud Monkeys for another job two years ago and were happy to have them back again for a smaller job. Darby and his team were terrific. We would definitely recommend them again.

Waterproofing Basement (Weeping Tiles)

I was really impressed with and remain grateful to this team of three. It was a large and thoroughly grueling job. Yet each man was consistently upbeat, pleasant, and respectful of my property despite having to work right next to a bee hive in 30+ degree, humid weather. These are the kind of people who, upon seeing something needing doing, simply take care of it - without mentioning it. They did an excellent and professional job, cleaned up, and shockingly - on the few occasions when they were inside my basement, they even remembered to turn off the lights before leaving.

Basement Waterproofing

Darby is knowledgeable, responsive and oversees the project from start to finish. I used him on two separate occasions - one for interior and another (unrelated problem) for exterior. The crew works extremely hard, even showing up on the coldest days of winter to dig. They continued to come back to fill in areas that had settled without my calling them. Mud Monkeys turned a big problem into a worry-free solution. I would highly recommend this Company.

Basement waterproofing

We recieved quotes from several companies, and Mud Monkeys wasn't the cheapest (nor most expensive) BUT they instilled far more confidence than all other companies that quoted. Mainly, looking at the basement, they were clear on what they expected to find when they dug and suggested different options according to my preferences. In addition to this they were punctual and very polite and made an effort to speak to both me and my wife (whereas other companies that quoted would essentially ignore my wife while standing in front of her which was rude... it's a small detail but it did make a huge difference).

When they started digging they found exactly what they expected to find, and when the job was done they came in under-budget. The worksite was left as tidy as possible every day and the workers were polite and more than happy to answer our questions. Not only that, but when they thought there was something we should see they made an effort to contact us to discuss. There were literally no surprises which is excellent for a job that expensive.

I would recommended Mud Monkeys to anyone.

Basement Underpinning

We selected Mud Monkeys after getting several quotes to underpin our basement. We were obviously nervous about lots of things with such a big, structural project, but all our fears melted away once we met Darby. He was awesome from the start. Very responsive, clear communication about timelines and costs. We had an exceptional crew led by Nick who managed the site. They were exactly on-time and on-budget. We are happy to recommend Darby and team to anyone! Hire them. You won't be sorry.

Foundation waterproofing

Mud Monkeys came well recommended -- and they didn't disappoint. Did great work, for the quoted price & on time. Cleaned up the site & have promised to come back to deal with soil settling, if it happens. Darby Braun and his team are terrific to deal with.

waterproofing basement

Classic wet basement and was told about Mud Monkeys from a good friend. Darby, the owner, and his crew were not only competent but they kept us informed about the progress of the work, took photographs, answered our questions with a smile, went the extra mile when they discovered some of our bricks needed to be replaced and most importantly took pride in their work. Absolutely lovely people and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. Really hard to put into words on how happy we are with their work. Top notch, simply top notch.

Exterior Waterproofing

Mud Monkeys was referred to us by our neighbour. They waterproofed the exterior of our house in the spring of 2014 after we had water seepage during a March thaw. They were very neat, cleaning up the site every evening before they left. As the ground they dug up settled over the summer months they would quickly respond to my request for additional dirt to level off the area where they had excavated.
We are very pleased with the service and workmanship we received and would recommend Mud Monkeys to anyone in need of exterior waterproofing.

Exterior Waterproofing

Mud Monkeys completed work on our semi-detached house in May 2014. We used them previously in 2009 on another property. Their work is first rate at a reasonable price. Couldn't ask for a better job. Would recommend them to anyone needing waterproofing. Call this company before you call anyone else. In 2009 other contractors recommended removing a porch at huge additional cost while Mud Monkeys said they would tunnel under the porch at a huge cost saving. Great people to work with. I have been completely satisfied with their work.

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.
