Commercial Concrete Leveling & Trip Hazard Repair | Green Bay

A sunken walk section is lifted flush with its neighbor, so the trip lip is gone and the entry is open again the same day. Drag the slider.

Why trip hazards can't wait

Uneven walks are one of the most common causes of slip, trip and fall claims. Under the 2010 ADA Standards for accessible routes, a change in level up to 1/4 inch can be vertical, between 1/4 and 1/2 inch it must be beveled, and anything over 1/2 inch must be treated as a ramp. Lifting removes the change in level instead of working around it.

What we lift

Sidewalks, entries and stoops at storefronts and offices.
HOA and apartment walkways and patios.
Dumpster pads, loading areas and sidewalk sections at drives.
Interior slabs in shops and warehouses.

How a lift works

1Find the low side of each jointWe check every joint and mark which section dropped. The goal is flush: no lip at all, not just under the 1/4″ ADA limit.
2Drill 5/8″ holesPenny-sized holes go through the slab a few feet apart, kept off the edges and corners where concrete is weakest.
3Inject and lift to flushFoam fills the void, then lifts the low section in small steps until the joint is flush and the walk sheds water instead of holding a puddle.
4Patch and sealHoles are filled with cement grout and joints get a flexible sealant, so water can't wash the soil out again.

Illustrations, not to scale. Most residential jobs take a few hours, and you can walk on the slab when we pack up.

Why lift instead of replacing sections?

Replacing a walk section means barricades, a pour and a week of cure time on an entrance your tenants and customers use every day. A lifted section is back in service before the next shift.

Stays up

Foam adds almost no weight and doesn't wash out like soil.

Written, and spelled out in your quote before you approve it.

Replacement timing is typical; a contractor's schedule and the weather can stretch it. New-concrete cure times from Concrete Network.

Common questions

How long does a business entrance need to be closed for lifting?

Usually only while we're working on it, often an hour or two per area. The foam sets in minutes and hole patches set quickly, so the area can reopen the same day.

Do you provide documentation for insurance or HOA records?

Yes. Every location gets before-and-after photos and the measured change, so you have a record that the hazard was found and fixed.

Can you handle multiple properties?

Yes. Send a list of addresses and problem areas, or we walk them, and you get one priced list by location to approve.
