We called several companies when our basement flooded last Spring. The Mud Monkeys responded immediately to assess our situation! They were thorough and professional, giving us all of our options and associated cost. We highly recommend them and will only use them going forward.

Basement waterproofing

Had a foundation leak in in the basement of our 100 year old house. They came to inspect the issue and found that it looked like it was coming up from around the footing. We ended up having three walls done from the inside and had a sump pump added when it was discovered that there was significant dampness behind the walls. Their work was fast and professional and the basement is now dry. We would happily recommend them.

Underpinning of an old house in Leslieville (1914)

We just bought our first family home and have a small baby daughter (under a year old). We had some money saved up after the house purchase and wanted to renovate our basement. After a lot of back and forth we decided to get our house underpinned! It was a big decision but we have no regrets whatsoever. The basement had 6.5ft. ceiling height which made it only useful for storage and maybe laundry. Because of the age of the house there was a lot of make-shift projects (old countertops, half a bathroom, old shelves) left in the basement. Mud Monkeys came and with hyper-efficiency removed all the garbage and did a fantastic job getting permits, bins in and out, and dug out an additional 2.5 ft. (9ft total) in our basement. We feel like we gained a whole new floor of our house and we are planning our 3rd bathroom, walkout, and rec room down there. They completed the job within schedule and budget. Thanks Mud Monkeys!

$50,000.00

Thank you for your review Atif.
Its always hard to find new useful space within such old homes. I'm glad we were able to help you with your desired renovation and to give you that much more head room to enjoy the space!
Good luck on the rest of the project and take care.

Waterproof

After multiple failed attempts at waterproofing our basement with other companies, we were referred to Mud Monkeys. From the beginning Darby was extremely helpful, understanding and professional. The team was very friendly, polite and worked hard to get the job done on time, with zero added or surprise cost's at the end. We can't thank Mud Monkey's enough for the work they did. Gone are the days of worry when rain is in the forecast!

Super friendly and very professional. They actually sealed our basement a year and a half ago and it's been dry since, even after all the recent storms. No more water on our basement floor. Thanks again!

Interior basement waterproofing

Great work. On recommendation from a friend, I hired Mud Monkeys to do an interior waterproofing job in the basement on my bungalow-style house. Over the past couple of years, I had been experiencing water leaking into my basement during heavy rainstorms. I’d had conversations and visits with Darby over a period of time to assess the best options for my situation and he was always very informative and patient with all of my questions and concerns. I felt like I was in good and reliable hands. Jake and the crew that carried out the physical task of waterproofing the basement (and the tricky crawlspace area under the stairs) did a great job. Above and beyond. Always friendly, easy to answer any questions along the way and would consistently tidy up at the end of each day. Their professional work was completed on budget and on time as stated at the outset. I would not hesitate to recommend Mud Monkeys to anyone with water issues in their basement. Very pleased with the results. Thanks again!

Basement Dig, Underpin and Waterproof

We hired Mud Monkeys to dig out, underpin and waterproof our basement and crawlspace. It was not an easy job but Darby and his team did a superb job and we're thrilled with the end result. The crew were great to work with despite the difficult conditions, always on time and available to answer questions and requests, and cleaned up every day when they were done. They were very accommodating when we ran into any hiccups along the way and very transparent, fair and honest when it came to price. Would definitely highly recommend them!

Thanks Curt and Fiona for your review.
When undertaking a big renovation like Underpinning there are fairly often unforeseen issues that come up.
We are very good at working with you the customer to take those issues in stride and come up with the best way to address them.
We are very pleased you are happy with the end result!

Basement Waterproofing

We had an interior waterproofing service for our damp basement in 2016. I was nervous about selecting interior waterproofing for our detached historic Parkdale home over exterior, but could not secure collaboration of the neighbour which was needed for exterior approach.

Service was exceptional.

That was two years ago. SO much rain since then, our basement ? totally dry. No issues. Frank the finisher was an artist. Definitely recommend Darby and Mud Monkeys

These guys are the real deal...

How many contractors have you met that show up when they say they will, charge you the price that they quoted, finish on or ahead of schedule, do high quality and very tidy work, and treat your home like they would treat their own? I would have said zero before I met Darby and his crew but now I can say "one: Mud Monkeys". These guys are tough as nails (this is not easy work), and are as polite as her Majesty Queen Elizabeth herself (my family and neighbours both commented unsolicited). All in all a great experience and I am looking forward to watching the Super Bowl next year instead of mopping water off my basement floor all weekend.

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.
