What is Trip Hazard Removal?

Trip hazard removal involves sawing down uneven sidewalk panels to eliminate vertical displacement that creates walking hazards. This service helps municipalities, park districts, schools, and commercial properties maintain ADA compliance and reduce liability.

Instead of replacing entire sidewalk panels, sawing is a fast, cost-effective solution that restores safe pedestrian access while extending pavement life.

Our process includes hazard identification, precision sawing, cleanup, and documentation reporting when required.
