You’re enjoying an outside stroll along your sidewalk or across the driveway when–BAM! You’ve suddenly lost your balance and pitched headfirst toward the ground, catching yourself just in time with a skinned palm or throbbing knee.
What happened?
A small lip in the concrete caught your toe, and that’s all it takes to land with a fractured wrist, sprained ankle, torn meniscus, or worse. While raised concrete trip hazards may seem small, the risks they pose are real and often costly.
Here’s how you can raise and repair that hazard with help from RK Concrete Construction.
…we raise it. This involves lifting the existing concrete out of the way and leveling the surface underneath. Improper soil compaction is often the culprit here, but improperly poured concrete or inadequate curing can also contribute to raised areas over time.
By lifting the existing section and replacing the compromised foundation with ECO-friendly materials, you can keep your walkway, patio, or driveway looking brand new.
…we repair it. This works when only a small section of your surface needs to be replaced. Due to the varying climate zone that is Utah, small cracks in concrete can become serious fissures after winter cold forces them to expand and summer heat makes this contract.
Over time, these can split your concrete into separate chunks, which we can then dig out and re-pour with fresh material. Concrete repair is quite advanced today, allowing us to make it match and blend with the original slab.
In almost every situation, lifting and repairing raised concrete hazards will be more economical then–and deliver the same lasting wear as–a full concrete replacement.
