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.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Clears furniture, beds, appliances, boxes and household goods room by room once the family has taken what it wants
- Sets aside papers, photos, cash, keys and anything that looks personal for the family instead of tossing it
- Routes usable furniture and building materials to donation and the rest to the landfill
How it works
- A walk-through with the person handling the estate to mark what stays, what is donated and what goes
- Medications and hazardous products such as paint, chemicals and propane are set aside for take-back or a household hazardous waste drop-off
- Room-by-room clear-out with a box for any personal papers or valuables found, then a sweep of each emptied room
- Referred out: disconnecting gas ranges, dryers or hardwired appliances goes to a licensed trade, and pianos, safes and hot tubs go to a specialty mover
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; disposal is billed at cost from the landfill or transfer-station receipt, and only the person with authority over the estate approves what leaves.
- 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.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
