PolyLevel is our trademark name for our Patented Concrete Lifting and Leveling system.
There is a ton of info on our Polylevel system available for you at Foundation View Hub and Team Basements
I strongly encourage you to review and understand this part of our product line very well.

As for the winter months know that we can only do interior poly level projects or in spaces where we can keep the machine heated. Also remember we only have approx 60' of hose to work with so if we are doing a basement make sure you know how much hose we need to get from lets say the trailer or the garage to get there.
However I am not expert so for assistance I would ask someone with a great deal of production related polylevel knowledge.
Any other advice please post below!

Just a couple of points to always look for in reference to Polylevel slab work in-side and in the cold.
1) Please pay extreme detail to knowing: where and what is in the concrete. example Water supply lines and exterior shut-off's as well clean outs and any structural embedded contacts. Example Stair support post.

A) Always include Private locates in your pricing, Minimum is $200.00 for to show up and 1 hour testing any additional time required is extra $100.00 per hour, this helps paint the picture for our installers to know where to drill and avoid damage drain pipes or pipe connections that the home owner may or may not know of.
B) Also make sure to always include verbiage in your agreement:(Any additional work required due to site conditions uncovered in the course of the project is not included in the initial agreement and shall be billed as an extra to the contract, All extras have to approved and sign for prior to proceed with initial contract).

This will cover your contract for if any unseen charges should arise;before, during, and after the installation process.
2) You will also want to know available all access points for equipment and hoses. Also during the winter you will want to bill for extra labour for prep work for the following:

A) weather prevention barriers, these are 6 mil poly with zipper access to allow access for our installers but help keep out the cold and the heat in.
B) The machine we use is powered by propane, all propane equipment runs awful in the cold, so always check with the customer for allow ability access to the garage to minimize the effect of the cold. this will prevent a loss project or delay.

Final note if you have any questions on how Polylevel is installed fill free to contact me at any point.

I am running a lead next week and according to the lead notes sounds like a void fill under the garage floor. No mention of floor damage or if it's out of level. Would we do this in the winter months and what additional charges would we factor in.
