Mud Monkeys Waterproofing

Waterproofing of an old foundation in termite laden south toronto. Mud Monkeys worked in conjunction with Aetna and handled additional challenges of needing to excavate along a city laneway. They attended meetings with city officials to help secure the permit, kept to schedule and budget, and managed the job in the tight space confines of old Toronto (a challenge in itself) with minimal disruption. Mud Monkeys were consummate professionals, always pleasant and knowledgeable. When they noticed a leak in my roof gutter, they made a point of informing us. When they found that my front porch wasn't sufficiently underpinned and they couldn't excavate there safely, they revised the quote. These guys are qualified, competent, honest, treat their employees and customers well. The proof is that when we solve the problem with supporting our front porch, we will hire them again.

Where to start? We had Darby and his crew underpin our basement after getting a recommendation from a close friend. While we had a few different quotes we weren't really considering anyone else for the work because the recommendation was so good and I don't consider this the type of work that you leave to chance. We weren't disappointed. He and his team are the easiest contractors to work with in the entire city. They remember casually mentioned requests and are meticulous in executing such heavy and dirty work. Mud monkeys are honest, dependable and talented. I'm very happy that I hired them.

Darby and his team were great! From the get-go, Darby was attentive and professional and answered all my questions. While his prices were amazing (a couple of other companies quoted me almost twice as much), I ultimately went with him because I felt comfortable that I was going to get good service and I wasn't disappointed. Unlike some others I had contacted who said that it was difficult or impossible to do such a narrow lane-way at the top of steps up from the sidewalk, Darby simply said that they could make it work for my neighbours and me. His team worked away through various elements (it was early December) and did a fabulous job. It has now been two years and I have had no issues and I have already referred Mud Monkeys to a few others in the neighbourhood.

The leaking has stopped through our old brick foundation. I was struck by the quality of your company and your crew. They were a pleasure to have around, always helpful and responsive, kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up extremely well when the job was done. It was our good fortune to engage your services and we would be glad to recommend your company to anyone.

D'arby and his team are real pros, and found a more effective and less costly solution than originally thought. Job done quickly, professionally and with fairly minimal clean up beyond what we planned for.

I have never had someone doing work around my home who is as thoughtful and competent as Darby and his crew. It was a devil to correct but he came back every time I called and did it. I recommend him highly.

Had water seeping into the basement and couldn't determin where it was coming from. Review companys and obtain a few qoute to get the job done and Mud Monkeys was one that came out to be the best. Darby who is the main guy was by far the most respectful person and who understand what your trying to accomplish. He was very formal explaining what needed to get done and communication afterward was quick and complete. started the job and ensure area was kept clean and other items didn't get dirty. Job was done earlier than expected and reached out to show what was discovered and review the situation to better make the job get done. Over all i will be using this company along with his guys for any future jobes...

Thank you again Darby, Nick and didn't get the other guy name...

Darby is communicative, honest and his team does fine work. We couldn't be happier, our basement is dry and we trust him totally. Darby was upfront with us, took an incremental approach to our problem, starting with specific problem areas then waiting to see if it solved the leakage, so we didn't spend excessive money. I'd recommend this company to anyone. Clean for such messy work, considerate and well-spoken, these are some fine monkeys!

We had Mud Monkeys do some waterproofing for us and what a great experience. Over the years we have used many contractors for various projects and without a doubt, Darby and the folks at Mud Monkeys are fantastic!
It is rare when employees never say an unkind word about the work, the company they work for or their boss. A true indicator of a compnay that cares for its staff and obviously treats them well.
The work itself wsa done on-time and on-budget. What was really great for us was that they were actually able to work underneath part of our deck allowing us to always have access and no need to disrupt the decking materials. Daily the work site was left clean, tidy and safe. At the end of the job, yes we had some clean-up to do but this is to be expected considering the volume of dirt they dug, the loads of gravel and the dirt they put back.
While it isn't great to have to spend money on something you don't "see", we are comforted to know that water coming into our basement is now a thing of the past.
Thanks to all the good folks at Mud Monkeys!
Oh, we found Mud Monleys on HomeStars and reading reviews and for sure we would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Darby, Nick, et. al. handled all of our communications in a courteous and professional way - including prompt responses by phone or e-mail - from my original enquiry through to the completion of the job.

Darby provided estimates both for waterproofing my basement form the inside, and from the outside. I elected to go with the external approach, including excavation, installation of weeping tile; appropriate barriers and back-fill with gravel.

The job was completed as scheduled, to spec, and clean-up was good.

I have no hesitation in recommending them.
