Sidewalk trip hazards are a problem everywhere. A trip hazard is when two slabs of concrete meet together, and one slab is elevated, or lower than the other slab. This creates unevenness, a risk waiting for someone to trip over. That’s why more people pick the option to fix this incommodity before it develops into an expensive and dangerous situation.

The majority of the population uses sidewalks. They’re one of the most common areas in the metropolitan vicinity. When sidewalks become damaged over time, citizens could injure themselves while walking. Most property owners are responsible for maintaining their sidewalk and could be summoned to court if an injury were to occur.
How Do You Fix A Sidewalk Trip Hazard?
- Remove the slab(s) and add new concrete
Eliminate the entire area that is affected to a surface level, and pour new concrete.
- Concrete grinding
An angle grinder is used on the surface of the concrete from one side to another. Once the side by side grinding is completed, you can move the angle grinder in circular motions. We advise that you work in small sections.
