How Seven Stones keeps the scope honest

What causes concrete trip hazards? Root pressure, settlement, poor base, drainage, freeze-thaw movement, and age can all contribute. Should drainage be reviewed with concrete repairs? Yes. If water movement caused or worsened the problem, the repair plan should address it. A site review can confirm what belongs in the construction scope and when a qualified specialist or trade partner is required.

When to request a site review

Request a site review when access, drainage, structural movement, material tie-ins, property rules, or the cause of visible damage cannot be confirmed from photos alone. Include wide and close-up photos, approximate dimensions, and the outcome you need.
