Trip Hazard Assessments help decision-makers understand observed concrete conditions before approving repair. The assessment organizes visible evidence, likely contributing factors, risk level, and recommended next steps.
When this assessment is useful
Use this service when the cost, safety, liability, downtime, board approval, repair scope, or replacement decision is too important to base on a quick visual quote alone.
What is assessed
- Observed cracking, spalling, scaling, settlement, heaving, delamination indicators, joint distress, drainage concerns, and prior repair failure.
- Likely failure-system indicators: moisture, movement, load, and surface preparation.
- Safety-sensitive and operations-sensitive areas that need priority ranking.
- Documentation gaps that may affect bids, claims, budgets, or owner decisions.

Why assessment before repair matters
The wrong repair can hide the real failure system, waste capital, and create a repeat failure. Assessment creates a stronger decision file before the scope is approved.
