Whether it's an uneven sidewalk section outside your business, a lifted concrete slab on your property, or a sunken portion of your driveway creating an unexpected step, these trip hazards pose serious risks to family members, visitors, and customers alike. Each time someone navigates these obstacles, you hold your breath, hoping they'll notice and adjust. As a property owner, you shouldn't have to worry about potential injuries or constantly remind people to "watch their step."

Protect Yourself from Costly Liability Claims

Uneven concrete surfaces create significant liability exposure for both commercial and residential property owners. When someone trips and falls on your property due to an unnoticed concrete lip or sudden elevation change, the resulting injuries can lead to expensive medical claims and potential lawsuits. Our concrete trip hazard removal service eliminates these risks by correcting dangerous height differentials between slabs. Whether addressing ACA compliance concerns for your business or protecting your family from home insurance claims, our precise lifting techniques create level, safe surfaces that dramatically reduce your liability exposure.

Create Safe Passage for Everyone

Concrete trip hazards affect people differently depending on their age and mobility. For elderly visitors, a half-inch lip can cause a life-changing fall. For children running and playing, unexpected changes in elevation lead to skinned knees and worse. For those using wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers, these obstacles can become impassable barriers. Our sidewalk trip hazard repair solutions restore safe, smooth transitions between concrete sections, ensuring everyone can navigate your property with confidence. By addressing these issues now, you prevent accidents before they happen while creating universal accessibility throughout your outdoor spaces.

Solve Concrete Problems Once and For All

If you’ve tried temporary fixes like grinding down edges or applying asphalt patches, you know these approaches rarely last. Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and ongoing soil settlement continue to worsen concrete trip hazards over time. Our permanent trip hazard elimination service addresses the root cause by lifting sunken slabs back to their proper position and stabilizing the soil beneath. Unlike surface treatments, our polyurethane foam injection creates lasting results that maintain their alignment through changing seasons. Stop managing the same concrete problems year after year and invest in a solution that truly resolves your trip hazard concerns.

FAQs: Trip Hazards

Q: How do you determine which concrete trip hazards need repair?
A: We assess every uneven concrete joint or transition on your property, measuring height differentials to identify safety concerns. For commercial properties, we focus on  addressing any vertical change greater than ¼ inch. For residential properties, we identify any elevation differences that create potential tripping risks, paying special attention to high-traffic areas, paths near entries, and spaces used by elderly individuals or children. Our comprehensive assessment ensures no potential hazards are overlooked.
Q: How quickly can trip hazards be eliminated, and can we use the area during repairs?
A: Our concrete lifting process works remarkably fast compared to replacement options. Most residential trip hazard projects are completed in just a few hours, while commercial properties can often be addressed in a single day or weekend, depending on the scope. We work systematically to maintain access to entries and essential pathways whenever possible. Best of all, areas can be used immediately after lifting – typically within 15 minutes of completion – minimizing disruption to your home or business operations.
Q: Will the repaired areas match my existing concrete?
A: Our lifting process works with your existing concrete, simply restoring it to its proper position rather than adding new material to the surface. This means the color and texture remain consistent across your property. Unlike grinding methods that remove the top layer of concrete or patching approaches that create visible repair areas, our lifting solution maintains the uniform appearance of your walkways, driveways, and patios while eliminating dangerous elevation differences.
