Patch a hole in drywall in East Bench

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

• Small holes filled and larger holes cut square and patched with new drywall backed by wood cleats
• Seams taped and feathered with joint compound over several coats
• Patch sanded, primed and textured to blend before paint

How it works

1. Check the hole for wiring, pipes or moisture before cutting any drywall
2. Cut the damage back to a clean opening, add backing, and screw in a drywall patch
3. Tape, coat, sand, prime and texture the patch so it blends with the wall
4. Referred out: damaged wiring or pipes found in the wall go to a licensed electrician or plumber

What happens next

• The written scope and price come first; the hole is checked for wiring and moisture before any cutting.
• Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.

In East Bench

Development in the East Bench neighborhood is relatively young and suburban, with larger lots and homes, curving streets and an abundance of cul-de-sacs, a pattern shaped by the steepness of its location on the slope of the foothills. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) Approximately one-third of East Bench neighborhoods developed prior to World War II. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) A scenario magnitude 7 earthquake is estimated to produce an average fault scarp height of 6.1 feet where faulting occurs along the East Bench, enough displacement to cause irreparable damage to any structure built across the scarp. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) In a scenario magnitude 7 earthquake, landsliding would likely be most severe on Wasatch Range mountain spurs, threatening downslope development such as the East Bench, although prehistoric landslide deposits on these slopes are relatively rare. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) Salt Lake City's wildland urban interface code adds fire safety rules for properties near undeveloped natural areas, covering building and roofing materials, how buildings are built, landscaping, and the space required between buildings and wildland.
