Walkway snow in Bonneville Hills

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

• Front steps, landings and walks shoveled to pavement, with a path at least 42 inches wide where the walk allows
• Snow piled on your own lot, clear of the street, neighboring walks, hydrants and window wells
• Leftover ice scraped and treated, and loose handrails or wobbly step treads flagged or tightened

How it works

1. Agree on which walks, steps and doors are cleared and whether visits are one-time or per storm
2. Clear steps and landings first, then the main walk and the path to the sidewalk
3. Scrape and treat bonded ice, then walk the route to check footing at every step
4. Referred out: heaved or broken concrete steps go to a concrete contractor, and heated walkway or snow-melt systems go to a licensed electrician or plumber

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 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.
