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

  • Flat-pack beds, dressers, desks, shelving, cribs and patio sets assembled to the manufacturer's instructions
  • Dressers, bookcases and tall units anchored to the wall with the included tip-restraint hardware
  • Boxes broken down and packaging hauled to your recycling so the room is guest-ready

How it works

  1. Confirm the items, rooms and the deadline (guests, a new baby, a move-in) when you call
  2. Inventory parts and hardware against the instructions before starting, so missing pieces surface early
  3. Assemble, level and anchor each piece, then test drawers, doors and hinges
  4. Referred out: furniture with built-in lighting that must be hardwired goes to a licensed electrician; plug-in units are finished on site

What happens next

  • The written scope and price come first; nothing is drilled, hung or installed until you approve it and confirm the deadline you are working against.
  • 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.
