Trip hazards are most often described as uneven or obstructed sections of walkways, sidewalks, or other pedestrian areas that can cause individuals to trip and fall. These hazards are usually due to cracked, uneven, or damaged pavements. Common methods for repair include:
Grinding
This involves leveling the raised edge of a concrete slab to the adjoining slab, creating a smooth, even surface.
Replacement
If the damage is extensive, we may recommend replacing the entire slab to eliminate the trip hazard.
Leveling or Mudjacking
This process raises the lower slab by pumping a mud mixture underneath it until it reaches the same level as the adjoining slab.
Joint Sealing
We can also seal joints to prevent water intrusion and erosion, which can lead to uneven surfaces.
Re-routing Pedestrian Traffic
Creating alternative pathways can be a temporary solution while addressing the root cause of the trip hazard.
Professional intervention ensures the use of appropriate, durable, and effective solutions to eliminate trip hazards, enhancing safety for pedestrians and the aesthetic appeal of your property.
