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
- Carries one bulky item, such as a couch, recliner, dresser, treadmill or old grill, out of the house on furniture pads and a dolly.
- Takes off legs, doors or loose shelves when that is what it takes to clear a doorway or stair turn without gouging walls.
- Drives the item to the landfill or transfer station, with the disposal fee billed at cost from the receipt.
How it works
- Send a photo of the item and where it sits, noting stairs, tight turns and anything that has to come apart.
- Get a written scope and price before the visit, with disposal added at cost from the receipt.
- On the day, floors and door frames along the path are padded, the item is carried out and tied down, and the spot is swept.
- Referred out: pianos, safes and hot tubs go to specialty movers; paint, solvents, batteries and propane tanks go to a household hazardous waste drop-off; tires are not hauled.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the landfill or transfer-station fee is added at cost from the receipt, and nothing is hauled until you approve the scope.
- 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.
