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
- Removes sofas, sectionals, recliners, bed frames, dressers, desks, tables and bookcases from any room, including basements and upstairs bedrooms.
- Breaks down bed frames, sectionals and flat-pack pieces so they leave without scraping walls, banisters or door frames.
- Leaves any piece you mark to keep or donate, and hauls the rest with the disposal fee billed at cost from the receipt.
How it works
- Walk the rooms by photo or in person and tag each piece that goes.
- Get a written scope and price, with disposal added at cost from the receipt.
- On the day, floors and corners are padded, pieces come apart where needed, and everything is carried out and tied down.
- Referred out: pianos, safes and hot tubs go to specialty movers; furniture wired into the wall, such as a hard-wired lighted cabinet, is disconnected by a licensed electrician first.
