- That lifted edge on the walkway.
- That sloped slab in the garage.

Trip hazards around your home or business aren’t just annoying—they’re dangerous. And as we head into fall, it’s only going to get worse.
At Metro Concrete Lifting, we help homeowners and property managers throughout New Jersey, Westchester, and the Lower Hudson Valley fix these hazards fast—without expensive demolition or messy tear-outs.
Why Trip Hazards Shouldn’t Be Ignored
- Liability: A family member, neighbor, or delivery person could easily fall.
- Curb Appeal: Uneven concrete instantly makes a property look neglected.
- Cold Weather Risks: Fall leaves and early frost hide uneven surfaces, making them even more dangerous.
- Resale Issues: Appraisers and home inspectors flag concrete hazards on walkways, driveways, and garages.
It’s one of those problems that looks small—until someone gets hurt.

Trip Hazard FAQ's
Are trip hazards considered a code violation?
In many areas, yes. Uneven sidewalks, sloped slabs, or dangerous steps can lead to city fines or citations—especially for commercial properties.
What causes trip hazards on concrete surfaces
Common causes include soil erosion, freeze-thaw cycles, tree roots, and settling from poor initial compaction. Foam lifting addresses the cause by stabilizing the base.
Is foam lifting strong enough for driveways and garages?
Absolutely. We use high-density polyurethane foam that’s strong enough to support vehicles and heavy equipment once cured.
Can you fix just one slab or section?
Yes. Foam lifting is a precise solution that allows us to level only the area that needs repair—saving you money and time.
When is the best time to fix trip hazards?
Right now. Fall conditions allow for optimal foam performance, and fixing before frost or leaves hide the hazard can help prevent accidents.
