Cracked sidewalks or loose tiles create hidden trip hazards.

Dim stairwells or parking lots hide dangers that cause serious falls.

Unsafe Stairs & Railings

Broken steps or loose handrails often cause falls in apartments and businesses.

Cluttered Walkways

Boxes, cords, or other obstacles can bring down unsuspecting visitors.

Potholes or slick walkways around properties put tenants and customers at risk.
