Lower basement 2 feet with 3 wall Underpin and 1 wall Bench

Darby and his team were on time and on budget and worked with me to achieve exactly what was desired. After Darby had completed the job, the city changed our inspector who of course found something he wasn't happy with. Even though Darby followed the recommendations of the previous inspector, he came back no questions and addressed the issue. As far as I'm concerned, Darby and the Mud Monkeys are an 11 out of 10

basement

I would like to express my complete satisfaction with the weeping tile system Mud Monkeys provided me with.
I own a 100 year old home. Needless to say, the house requires quite a bit of work. The basement in particular has quite a few problems. Most notably, however, has been the years of water leaking through the bricks creating both tremendous brick degradation and mold growth. As a result, I decided that the best solution would be to install a weeping tile system that would redirect the water and drain it out. I looked at least 15 quotes before deciding to go with Mud Monkeys.

From the time I first spoke to Darby on the phone to the the day the project was fianalized, Darby and his team's professionalism, dedication and diligence continuously exceeded my expectations.Mud monkeys not only offers a very reasonable price for their line of work but more importantly they did the job in a timely and tidy manner. They managed to install their entire system in TWO days!!! The team was extremely personable and polite. We are extremely happy that we decided to go with Mud Monkeys. We would have no hesitation in recommending to them to other prospective clients.

On behalf of Daniel and myself, we thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

Waterproof interior and exterior of house

We used Homestars to find a waterproofing company and I am thrilled with the work done by Mud Monkeys. Darby has a terrific crew of fellows especially Nick and Troy and Mark. The were efficient and conscientious in everything they did as well as a pleasure to deal with. We had major water problems and they worked diligently to fix all the areas needed. Our only disappointment was that we offered to adopt all the guys and they turned us down! They are welcome back anytime!

Repair Leaking Basement

Darby was very personable and professional to deal with. No over the phone quote but a hand delivered estimate, a full description of the work to be done and an explanation of their guarantee.

Other firms would do the work for the same price but wouldn't replace the interlocking brick that had to be removed to do the repair.

Darby explained that he couldn't replace the brick until spring and suggested I hold back part of the payment until it was done. He asked that I give him a call in the spring. I did and within a short time our brick was back in place and in better shape than before it was removed. In addition he rerouted our downspout that was not part of our original estimate to help prevent future problems . I would definetly recommend Mud Monkeys to my friends and use them again if needed.

Fix seam in foundation

We had water leaking into our 3 year old finished basement due to settling between an addition and the original structure. Upon contacting the delightful Darby, he came out within 24 hours to quote us on the job. He gave us repair options, gave us all the info we felt we need to make a decision and quoted us a price much lower than expected. He and his crew made me feel like I was the most important job they'd ever had. They updated me on the progress of the job (which they finished very quickly) and were nicest guys. They were accommodating and respectful of my neighbour and even offered to come back to repair any issues with her interlocking brick later in the spring. I would recommend Darby & the Mud Monkeys to anyone.... EVER. A pleasure to deal with, to be sure.

Basement

Darby is an exceptional person running a company with the highest standards. In the midst of a ton of stress, chaos and headaches associated with our home renovation project, our experience with Mud Monkeys stands out as a moment of welcome calm. Darby runs a company committed to excellence. We always felt we were dealing with people of utmost competence, to say nothing of friendliness and decency. We would almost wish for further basement trouble so we could get to use them again (ALMOST)! And, it goes without saying Darby, that if we ever again needed a service you provide, we wouldn't dream of going to anyone else. Thank you for everything. (When it's all finished, we hope you will come to our party!)

Waterproofed the basement in 2 of my houses

In the first house they came to do the waterproofing along a wet wall. Job was on time, on budget and sidewalk along house expertly replaced. In the second house had an extremely wet wall due to an underground stream. they did the job and thought it had been fully addressed. But underpinning was still leaking. They came back no questions asked. Fantastic!

basement water leack

We had some water coming into our basement and called Derry for an estimate and diagnostic.He came the very next morning and after a thoroughly assesment of the problem let as know that in fact the problem is not as big as we thought and it is in fact a job for a plumbing company, and he even reccomended to us a company.
I would recomend him to all my friends!

Waterproofing

I had a water problem which was delaying the finishing of my basement. I made a call to Mud Monkey's and someone was out to look at the problem very quickly. The person was courteous and professional and was honest about options to resolve my water problem. Once we decided on a solution, the work was completed on time and was exactly what was discussed. I would recommend Mud Monkeys to anyone and if you are looking for a quick, professional service and a permanent solution to your water problems...give them a call. You won't be disappointed.

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.
