A large retirement community faced HOA, resident, and county pressure after newly poured sidewalks exceeded cross-slope limits. With more than 900 sidewalk sections at risk of tear-out, the project had to be handled in phases while keeping resident access, county inspections, and neighborhood disruption under control.
Many of the slabs exceeded the target slope tolerance of roughly 3.5%. Replacement would have damaged yards, blocked walking routes, delayed inspections, and created major disruption for residents.
Lift-It-Rite used AP Lift 430 to lift and re-pitch selected slabs without tearing them out. The material allowed controlled lifting, fast return to service, and precise grade correction in high-use walking areas.
