What makes concrete surfaces a trip hazard? There are several factors that make uneven concrete, such as tree roots, natural shifting and settling soil. These conditions can cause sinking and cracking concrete surfaces. Additional signs of concrete settlement include:
- Broken corners of concrete surfaces
- Drainage issues created by standing water and runoff
- Tripping hazards for pedestrians and family members
- Unsightly, cosmetic issues
- Broken corners and edges of concrete surfaces caused by ground movement and voids
- Difficulty with mowing, shoveling and trimming
If you notice any of these signs, contact the concrete leveling specialist in Jacksonville, Florida. Residential and commercial concrete settlement can be potential liability for homeowners in case of trip and fall injury.
Concrete Trip Hazard Repair in Florida
Leveling the existing concrete is the most economical solution to providing a safe surface for patios, pools, sidewalks, streets, garages and more. To effectively stabilize the surface, we use a slab lifting and stabilization technique that involves polyurethane foam. A small hole is drilled through the affected concrete. Polyurethane foam is injected into the void under the surface. As the foam expands, it lifts the surface back to its original position. Finally, the holes are filled. The work area is cleaned up and tools removed. Because polyurethane foam quickly hardens, it can be immediately used.
Polyurethane foam is the most preferred concrete leveling method because it offers many benefits. Some benefits include:
Fast, effective method- Less disruptive
- Immediate traffic
- No noise associated with the injection process
- Lightweight material
