Ice treatment in Bonneville Hills

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

• Walks, steps and landings scraped toward bare pavement before any deicer goes down
• Deicer matched to the surface and nearby plantings, spread sparingly, with sand or grit on steps for traction
• Downspout extensions turned away from walks and loose handrails tightened so meltwater and footing stop being a hazard

How it works

1. Look at the concrete, pavers or wood and the plantings next to them before choosing a product
2. Break and scrape ice, then treat only what stays bonded, starting with steps and landings
3. Point meltwater away from walks where a downspout extension or splash block can do it, and check handrails
4. Referred out: heat cable, heated mats or snow-melt systems go to a licensed electrician, and heaved or spalled concrete goes to a concrete contractor

What happens next

• The written scope and price come first; nothing starts until you approve it, and repeat storm visits are agreed in writing ahead of time.
• 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 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.
