Our Services
Sidewalk issues throughout the Midwest are rarely caused by one thing. Weather, soil movement, age, and heavy foot traffic all play a role. Over time, concrete panels shift and settle, creating uneven edges that become trip hazards and ADA concerns. PCC Midwest provides concrete cutting services that address those hazards directly—without tearing out sidewalks or disrupting daily use.
​
Our work is focused on making walkways safer, more accessible, and easier to manage for cities, property owners, and facility managers across the Midwest.
Trip Hazard Removal / Uneven Sidewalk Repair
Uneven sidewalk panels pose real safety and liability risks. PCC Midwest removes trip hazards by precision-cutting raised concrete edges to create a smooth, level walking surface that meets ADA standards.
​
What this service includes:
-
Removal of vertical sidewalk displacements over ¼ inch
-
Precision cutting that preserves the existing concrete slab
-
ADA-compliant transitions without grinding or patching
-
Walkways remain open and usable during and after service
-
Cleaner results than traditional grinding methods
​
This service is commonly used for public sidewalks, commercial properties, campuses, HOAs, and medical facilities throughout the Midwest.
ADA Compliance Surveys
Sidewalk safety starts with knowing where hazards exist and how severe they are. PCC Midwest conducts sidewalk surveys that identify, measure, and document trip hazards across individual properties or entire sidewalk networks.
​
Survey deliverables include:
-
Hazard measurements and location tracking
-
Photo documentation for each identified issue
-
Spreadsheet and map-based reporting formats
-
GIS-compatible data for municipalities and campuses
-
Support for phased repair planning and budgeting
​
These surveys help clients reduce liability, prioritize repairs, and demonstrate proactive ADA compliance.
Specialty Hazard Removal
Not all sidewalk hazards are located in open, easy-to-access areas. PCC Midwest removes trip hazards in tight or sensitive environments where replacement or demolition isn’t practical.
​
Common applications include:
-
Sidewalks near buildings, walls, and curbs
-
Landscaped areas and urban corridors
-
Walkways adjacent to utilities or structures
-
High-traffic pedestrian areas requiring minimal disruption
​
Our equipment allows precise cutting without damaging surrounding surfaces or infrastructure.
