Trip Hazard Repair in Utah

Concrete Trip Hazards Are a Serious Risk

Uneven concrete creates dangerous trip hazards that put people at risk of serious injury. According to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), any vertical change in a walking surface greater than 1/4 inch is considered a trip hazard. Even small differences between concrete slabs can cause someone to stumble and fall.

Trip hazards are a concern for both residential homeowners and commercial property managers. Falls caused by uneven concrete can result in broken bones, head injuries, and costly lawsuits. As a property owner, you may be held liable for injuries that occur on your property due to known hazards.

The good news is that concrete trip hazards can be fixed quickly and affordably with concrete leveling.

Where Trip Hazards Commonly Occur

• Sidewalks and walkways - The most common location for trip hazards, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic


• Driveways - Where slabs meet the garage floor or the street


• Patios and porches - Settling slabs create raised edges that catch feet


• Pool decks - Especially dangerous due to wet conditions


• Commercial properties - Storefronts, parking lots, apartment complexes, and office buildings


• Municipal sidewalks - Cities and HOAs often require property owners to maintain adjacent sidewalks
