Pine needles in Bonneville Hills

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

• Scoops pine needles, leaves and twigs out of gutters and downspouts by hand and bags the debris.
• Sweeps needle litter off low-slope roof sections, out of roof valleys and from where the roof meets a wall or dormer.
• Rakes needles out from under decks, along the foundation and out of window wells.

How it works

1. Roof pitch, height and number of stories are checked from photos to decide what can be reached safely.
2. The cleanup is priced in writing.
3. Gutters are cleared from a secured ladder, roof litter is swept off, then each downspout is flushed to confirm flow.
4. Referred out: steep or high roofs and roof repairs (roofer), work near overhead power lines, and branch removal above ladder reach (arborist).

What happens next

• The written scope and price come first; before-and-after photos of the gutters and roof valleys follow the visit.
• 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 Bonneville Hills

Bonneville Hills is a predominantly single-family residential neighborhood closest to Foothill Village, a semi-regional shopping center, and its streetscapes resemble older East Bench neighborhoods, with uniform home setbacks and extensive street trees. (Bonneville Hills Neighborhood | Council District 6 (Salt Lake City)) The Bonneville Hills neighborhood consists of predominantly single-family homes built during the middle of the 20th century. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) The Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault generates large earthquakes of about magnitude 7 on average every 1,350 years, and the most recent was about 1,300 years ago. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) A brick building with rows of bricks turned endways every five to six rows may be unreinforced masonry, a pattern once used to add strength before steel reinforcing was required. (Unreinforced Masonry | Earthquakes (Utah Division of Emergency Management)) Utah updated its building codes in the 1970s to outlaw construction of new unreinforced masonry buildings, so URM buildings are typically older structures.
