Why Address Trip Hazards Promptly?
Uneven concrete surfaces are one of the most common causes of trip hazards on residential and commercial properties. Over time, concrete slabs can settle or shift due to soil movement, erosion, or even the growth of nearby tree roots. These changes create raised edges or gaps between sections of concrete, often found on sidewalks, driveways, patios, and entryways. Beyond being unsightly, these uneven surfaces pose a serious safety risk.
Trips and falls can lead to injuries, especially for children, seniors, or visitors unfamiliar with your property. In addition to the risk of injury, property owners may also face potential legal liability if someone is hurt due to unsafe walking conditions. That’s why addressing trip hazards quickly and professionally is an important step in maintaining both the safety and value of your property
Our Concrete Grinding Process
At Concrete Slab Jacking, Inc., every trip hazard repair project begins with a comprehensive assessment of the affected area. We take the time to carefully evaluate the concrete surfaces to identify all existing trip hazards, even those that may not be immediately obvious. Once problem areas are identified, we use precision grinding equipment to carefully smooth out raised sections of concrete, creating a safer and even surface. This method allows us to correct uneven slabs without the need for costly replacement. After the grinding process is complete, we thoroughly clean the work area, ensuring minimal disruption to your property and leaving your space safe, clean, and ready for use.
Benefits of Choosing Concrete Grinding
ADA Compliance and Legal Considerations
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sets clear guidelines for safe and accessible walkways, including specific requirements for surface levels and trip hazard limitations. According to ADA standards, any change in surface height greater than 1/4 inch must be properly beveled or corrected to ensure safe access for everyone, including those with mobility challenges. For property owners in Maryland, maintaining safe, level walkways isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s also about meeting important safety and legal standards. At Concrete Slab Jacking, Inc., we help Maryland homeowners, businesses, and HOAs meet ADA compliance by professionally leveling uneven concrete and eliminating trip hazards. Our services not only create safer walkways but also help reduce the risk of injuries, fines, or legal liability associated with non-compliant surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
One of the biggest advantages of concrete grinding is the quick turnaround time. In most cases, the area can be used right away once the grinding process is finished. There’s no lengthy drying or curing period required, so foot traffic and normal use can typically resume immediately after the work is complete. This makes concrete grinding a convenient and efficient solution for both residential and commercial properties looking to minimize downtime.
Concrete grinding does produce some noise as the equipment works to smooth out uneven surfaces. However, our team at Concrete Slab Jacking, Inc. takes every step to keep disruption to a minimum. We use efficient, professional-grade equipment and work quickly to complete the job with as little impact as possible on your daily routine. Most projects are completed in just a few hours, allowing you to enjoy a safer, level surface without extended noise or inconvenience.
Concrete grinding is a highly cost-effective alternative to full slab replacement. It’s faster, less invasive, and requires far fewer materials, making it an ideal solution for addressing minor uneven surfaces or trip hazards. Instead of tearing out and replacing entire sections of concrete, grinding smooths and levels the existing surface — saving both time and money while minimizing disruption to your property.
