basement waterproofing

I had work done by Mud Monkeys at a previous residence after a recommendation by a contractor, so am a repeat customer. Here, I had them waterproof the basement walls, with parging and installation of weeping tile, membrane and new window wells. The work was done efficienctly and professionally, and the crew was very easy to deal with. They dealt with the tricky bits working around porches and an air conditioner with no difficulty, and the site was completely cleaned up. I would definitely recommend them.

Basement waterproofing

We had Mud Monkeys waterproof our basement in the fall after several years of small leaks that were getting worse. Darby explained everything very well, and they came when they said they would, and finished on time. They cleaned up so well it was impossible to tell that they had been there! And, most important, no more leaks!! We will have hem back later this year to do a bit more on the front of the house.

External waterproofing project

Darby and his team have been complete professionals since our first conversation. If you are looking for an honest, hard working and experts in their field then stop looking for a better company. You found them right here. They came. They communicated. They fixed. They cleaned and they left. They didn't leave a trace rubbish and left our yard looking better than they found it. Oh yes, problem is fixed, interior walls are no longer saturated after it rains. Value for your money with positive results. There is nothing better than that.

Waterproofing and benching of basement

Darby and his team did an excellent job waterproofing and benching our basement. Darby runs a very honest and professional business. Mitch and his wonderful crew carried out the day to day work and Darby inspected all work frequently. The crew was always on time, tidy and courteous.
Darby answered all questions and concerns promptly. The job was competed on time and true to quote. He even ended up fixing a last minute issue of our window drain and did not charge us extra for this. We were very happy with Darby and his crew and would recommend them without hesitation. on his own dime.

Exterior waterproofing; basement slab excavation and pour

I hired Mud Monkeys to waterproof my entire foundation wall (approx. 124 linear feet) from the exterior in September of 2011. After receiving close to a dozen quotes from both waterproofers and plumbers it was Darby's prompt replies and sincerity that made me choose them over the others. Darby and his team get the job done with no hassles. I had a ductless AC unit sitting outside that was in their way but I couldn't figure out how to mount it on the wall without breaking the lines. MM simply dug under it and propped it up on a ledge they built for it.

In January of 2012 I was so pleased with MM's work I hired them to excavate my existing basement slab, install a gravel base and pour a new concrete slab. Even though I hired the structural contractor, the plumbers and HVAC guys independently Darby offered to coordinate with them when they were done with their work. MM strapped the hot water heater to the ceiling so that I had hot water for the duration of the job and they also moved my treadmill, boiler, washer and dryer out of the way for me.
For my new slab I insisted on a denser 35MPa concrete to make it harder for termites to get it and Darby said he'd order that w/o altering the original quote.
I am about to hire a concrete polisher and he was quite pleased with the finish of the new slab.

All inquiries or concerns sent by email were promptly answered by Darby by phone. His crew were always on the job on time and cleaned up afterwards. All quotes were accurate.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Every waterproofer has different methodologies and use different materials. I would suggest the homeowner to inquire exactly what the waterproofer intends to do and why.

Waterproofing flooding basement

After having 3 floods in my basement fixed by various people a friend who is a building inspector reccomended MUD MONKEYS. He said that the majority of his clients used them and were very happy.

Thank goodness for Darby and his team of professionals. They completed the job in short order and were very neat and tidy while they worked. I was given a 20 year warranty on the work.

After finding more dampness in another area...(not the waterproofed wall) Darby came back and promised to fix my new problem....ON HIS DIME!!!

I have never had any contractor in any home I've owned fix anything from the goodness of their heart at NO CHARGE!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Darby!!

There still are some Good Guys in this world!!

God Bless Darby & his team!!!

Complete excavation of basement and crawl space in 100 year old home

Darby and his guys were great. There were unforseen delays and they were able to cope with the ever-changing schedule without missing a beat. The attention to detail showed by the guys who worked on the basement was great. Darby was around and always available for questions or concerns.
They did a top-notch job and I'd happily recommend Mud Monkeys for any excavation work.

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.
