Trip Hazard Mitigation
Proactive Maintenance Equals Long-Term Savings
Cracked and uneven sidewalks aren’t just unsightly—they’re dangerous. For municipalities, trip hazards pose a serious liability risk and public safety concern. At Colorado Concrete Lifting, we partner with cities and towns across the South Denver metro area to quickly, efficiently, and affordably eliminate trip hazards.
Why Trip Hazards Matter
Sidewalk panels that have shifted due to soil settlement, tree roots, or water erosion can easily create height differences over ¼ inch—the ADA’s threshold for a trip hazard. These uneven surfaces increase the risk of pedestrian injury and can expose municipalities to costly lawsuits and complaints.
Our Solution: Concrete Lifting & Leveling
Rather than tearing out and replacing entire sidewalk sections, we use polyurethane foam injection to lift sunken concrete panels back into alignment. The process is fast, clean, and typically ready for foot traffic within hours.
