Many times existing concrete work is ADA non-compliant because of broken, or heaved concrete, or improperly sloped and creates standing water which is a trip hazard anytime of the year, or perhaps it is uneven concrete which also increases fall risk. ADA defines a ‘trip hazard’ as any vertical change of over ¼ inch or more at any joint or crack. Since the ADA demands strict compliance, trip hazards represent legal liability to property owners and are bad for health. A simple grinding of raised concrete is easy enough to eliminate a potential trip hazard which could result in injury or lawsuit. Whether a person requires a walker, wheel chair or no adaptive equipment, defects with concrete decrease a person’s ability to move about their environment independently and safely. Concrete is something that surrounds us in/outside of residential, commercial and industrial buildings, and we depend on it our lives. This is why it is imperative that the condition of concrete be good and ADA compliant to improve mobility, independence and safety.
