Waterproofing / Cement Floor

We had Mud Monkeys do some waterproofing on the exterior of our home in July 2013. Their work was great and quick. They're response to our queries and needs was outstanding. They went above and beyond. We also had them put in a sump pit as well as weeping tile and a new floor in part of the basement. Again they did great work. I would recommend Darby, Nick and their crews to anyone.

Basement exterior waterproofing

We had a major water problem in our basement, every time it rained the basement would be wet and the problem was getting worse. Mud monkeys did an excellent job of exterior waterproofing. They started the job earlier than expected and finished on time. The job site was kept clean, they even dug under my porch without disturbing it or my garden. Darby, Nick and the crew were very courteous and did an awesome job. We have had major downpours since the job was completed and no water in the basement. Darby was quick to respond to my concerns of the gravel shift due to heavy rain and was quick to fix it. Thanks for doing an awesome job guys! I would definitely recommend Mud Monkeys.

waterproofing exterior

We hired Mud Monkeys after a longstanding water problem in our basement had required mold remediation. They came after that work and waterproofed the exterior foundation. They did a good job, and they did it in a timely fashion.

water proof basement

I hired Mud Monkeys just before a flash flood for a small problem.

That problem grew after the flood hit and the mud monkeys accommodated our needs and extended their job for us.

They are professional, hard working and keep you informed.

And now when it rains I don't go running to the basement to see if there is a problem. That's big for me.

I highly recommend using their services.

Basement Waterproofing

Darby was recommended by a friend and absolutely lived up to the recommendation. He was responsive and very knowledgable in outlining the options for me. He was honest about the timelines for the actual work. The team was great - the work professional and the job site clean. Then the real challenge came up - the basement still leaked !!! ... The problem was really my (attached) neighbour's had a large hole and the water was migrating into my basement. Darby figured this out and handled the difficult conversation with my neighbour (who had waterproofed from the inside and did not "see" a problem). Darby promised me he would make my basement dry - and lived up to the promise. I would highly recommend Darby and his team.

Basement bench footing

I've used Mud Monkeys on several occasions now. Darby is likely the most responsive contractor I've ever worked with, whether regarding quoting, consultation, responding to issues, etc. We lowered our basement and had no issues passing inspection. If there are bumps along the way, they take responsibility to fix them.

Waterproofing

Shortly after the ice storm, we noticed water in our basement. We contacted numerous waterproofing companies and were referred to Mud Monkeys Waterproofing by a company that did not work in the east end of Toronto.

First and foremost, Darby and his crew have to be one of the nicest and easiest groups of people to deal with. Darby came out, assessed the work and gave a reasonable quote. He did not try to oversell us, like other companies did. When his crew arrived, they were polite, worked quickly and kept me up to date on the work and how it was progressing - they encouraged questions and didn't mind my curiosity. They kept the site clean - which was a big deal for me as I envisioned muck everywhere. In the end, the only sign that work was done was the cut in the asphalt. (Darby also recommended someone to repair the area, once it had settled.)

Would definitely use Darby and his crew again and would highly recommend them!

Basement Benching

The recent news about the Roxton house collapse makes me so grateful that I used Mud Monkeys for my renovation in 2011. They wisely advised me that I could not underpin only my half of the semi. and we ended up benching. If you are considering Mud Monkeys but find them a bit more expensive than other contractors please remember that you get what you pay for.

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.
