Concrete Tripping Hazard

Have you ever been minding your own business while walking along the sidewalk when you unexpectedly trip? After you collect yourself, you look down and see that the concrete slab is higher on one side, making the uneven surface the perfect combination to have set you on your less-than-graceful crash to the ground.

Concrete trip hazards such as these occur when concrete panels have separated, sinking or rising on one side to make an uneven surface. This can occur on a footpath that consists of individual concrete slabs put together to make up a walkway.

Why Does Concrete Become Unlevel?

Movement in the ground such as weather damage, erosion, or tree roots can cause the earth below the concrete slab to shift or wash away. This makes the concrete susceptible to shifting, lifting, and sinking at varying degrees.
