The PolyLEVEL System is the innovative solution to reduce runway hazards, allowing airports to continue to provide safe and efficient service. 
Less Down Time | PolyLEVEL® by Foundation Supportworks
Soil erosion and settlement often cause concrete slabs in patios, sidewalks and driveways to sink into the ground. This type of settlement isn't just unsightly; it can also cause more damage and can be a safety hazard. Water tends to pool on sunken surfaces and unleveled floors cause a trip hazard. Until now, the only solution available to repair sinking slabs was mudjacking, a process that involves drilling holes in the slab to inject a mixture of cement and mud underneath, to raise it back to level. Foundation Supportworks, an industry leader in the development of foundation repair technologies and solutions, proudly introduces the most advanced alternative to mudjacking - the PolyLEVEL™ System.The PolyLEVEL™ System is a state-of-the-art approach to repairing sinking concrete slabs. It combines the concept of mudjacking with the most advanced technology. Instead of using a mix of mud and cement to raise the slab, PolyLEVEL™ utilizes high-density polyurethane specially engineered for this purpose. The advantages of using PolyLEVEL™ over conventional mudjacking are many. PolyLEVEL™ is lighter than mud-cement mixes (4lbs per cubic yard opposed to concrete's 120lbs). It will raise the slab without adding a lot of weight to it. The expanding nature of the material allows it to penetrate crevices in the soil, completely filling the cavity and safely raising the slab to the desired level. PolyLEVEL™ is also environmentally-friendly and made with recycled materials. It can be installed in just one day, through smaller, penny-sized holes drilled in the concrete and just 5 minutes after installation you can walk or drive over the slab!There is no need for extended periods of curing, as is the case with cement and mud compounds. 
Features of the PolyLEVEL™ System by Foundation Supportworks
The traditional way of using sandbags to construct trench breakers is no longer efficient when it comes to time nor cost. So how do you support pipelines when working on steep, uneven and very rocky terrain?  Basement Systems of West Virginia uses a structural-grade spray polyurethane foam (SPF) to build trenchbreakers. This method not only allows them to work faster but it's also muc more affordable. Another great feature of our spray foam product is that it expands to fill the voids around the exposed pips and creating a cushioning effect rather than damaging the pipes the way the weight of sandbags can potentially damage them. Also, spray foam can be used as rock shield, pipeline pillow support and pipe insulation.  We proudly service West Virginia and the greater Charleston area from Cumberland, MD to Saint Albans, WV and from Hurricane, WV to Charles Town, WV and more.

One of our very happy customers, Dennis R., posted this video on YouTube right after we finished the work!  We had no idea that he had posted a video until it was brought to our attention.  We were so excited to see that he went to the trouble of posting this, that we asked him if we could share!  
Frankenbasement afterwards
Like many homeowners across the US, Ron Hazelton had a flooding basement which kept him awake during heavy rain periods. The problem was so serious that after each storm he had to use a mop and a floor sucker to get rid of the rising waters. After a particularly messy flooding episode, he decided that it was time to get the problem solved once and for all. He scoured the internet for companies providing state-of-the-art basement waterproofing solutions -- and found Basement Systems. Larry Janesky, the company’s owner, came to inspect Ron’s home. After a thorough evaluation, Larry was able to explain to Ron exactly what the problem was and what would be the perfect solution. Like many others with similar problems, Ron’s basement was flooding because during heavy rains the ground around his house would oversaturate with water. Hydrostatic pressure would begin to build up and push water against the wall. Following the path of least resistance, the water would then find its way into the basement through its weakest spot: the joint between the foundation walls and floor. More evidence of this problem was found all over the basement walls, in the form of efflorescence. Efflorescence is a chalky, powdery substance that builds up on basement walls when mineral-saturated water infiltrates the concrete and then evaporates into the basement, leaving these mineral salts behind. The solution for this type of problem resides in relieving the hydrostatic pressure by installing an internal perimeter drainage system. The system intercepts water before it enters the basement, diverts it to a sump pump system, and then evacuates it out and as far away from the foundation as possible. Larry and his crew at Basement Systems installed a full perimeter WaterGuard basement drainage system, and a TripleSafe sump pump system with two backup pumps, so that Ron can rest assured his basement will stay dry no matter how heavy the rains – and even in case of a power outage! The unsightly, efflorescence stained walls were covered with BrightWall acrylic panels. These panels not only spruce up the look of the walls, they also act as a vapor barrier, and intercept any water coming through the concrete walls, diverting it to the perimeter drainage. Ron can now enjoy peace of mind and sleep soundly through storms, knowing that his basement now has the best protection against flooding available in industry! Basement Systems is the world’s leader in developing basement waterproofing, basement finishing and foundation repair solutions. With over 20 years of success and unparalleled expertise, award-winning products, outstanding quality in customer care, and a dealership network of over 300 dealers across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Ireland, there’s no better place to find the best solutions for basements, crawl spaces, and foundations.

How to Fix a Wet Basement | Ask the Expert
In this episode of Ask the Expert, Bobby addresses a question from a customer in Fairborn, OH that is also frequently asked by many homeowners in his area concerning the white stains that commonly appears in basement walls. These stains, which are often mistaken by mold, are called efflorescence stains. Concrete is very porous and ground water consistently infiltrates the concrete walls. That water carries mineral salts, and, as it evaporates into the basement, these minerals build up on the wall surface, as this white, powdery substance. While not harmful, efflorescence can be an indication of poor foundation drainage. It means that the ground around the foundation is over saturated with water and that water is finding its way into the basement.If foundation drainage is not improved, other problems may appear over time, such as mold problems, basement leaks and basement flooding.
