Your Driveway Could Be a Slip Hazard and You Don’t Even Know It

Your driveway might look harmless, but summer weather can turn it into a hidden safety hazard. After storms, algae and mildew create a thin, slick layer that’s almost invisible when dry but dangerously slippery when wet.

Why Driveways Become Slippery

Driveways and sidewalks are exposed to constant moisture from rain, morning dew, and humidity. Over time, they develop:

• Algae and Mildew – Thrive in shady, damp areas

• Embedded Dirt – Creates a rough surface for growth

• Grease or Oil Films – From cars and lawn equipment

This combination can make surfaces slick and unsafe for anyone walking or driving on them.

The Risk of Ignoring Slippery Surfaces

A slippery driveway isn’t just a nuisance—it can lead to:

• Falls and Injuries – Especially for kids or guests

• Surface Damage – Moisture encourages cracks and pitting

• Permanent Staining – If grime and organics remain untreated
