The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law in 1990 and gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, State and local government services, and telecommunications. 

The Americans with Disabilities Act defines a ‘trip hazard’ as any vertical change of over 1/4 inch or more at any joint or crack. Since the ADA demands strict compliance, trip hazards represent a legal liability to our clients. 

Our patented saw-cutting technology completely and cleanly removes trip hazards from sidewalks, virtually eliminating claims that result from trip and fall incidents on uneven sidewalk. By having Always Safe Sidewalks remove their trip hazards, our clients reduce their legal liability using the most efficient and cost-effective method available. 

The raised sidewalk will be cut from edge to edge and brought to a zero point of differential settlement, completely eliminating the trip hazard. 

Always Safe Sidewalks delivers safe sidewalks every time. Our service, unlike other approaches, accurately measures each offset to ensure that we achieve the proper ADA complaint slope. The only alternative available to achieve ADA compliance (if done correctly) is removal and replacement, which is costly, disruptive, and time consuming.
