Utah Sewage Cleanup Services
Sewage emergencies don’t give you a warning. A backed-up basement, overflowing toilet, or foul smell from the drains can hit suddenly—and when it does, you need help fast. Indoor plumbing and modern waste collection systems are generally dependable and effective, but there is always a chance that things can do terribly wrong.
It is not unusual for sewage works and systems to overflow or begin moving in the wrong direction. When this happens, it is essential to have the damage corrected by a knowledgeable expert with experience in this especially noxious disaster. With 20+ years of local experience, we're Utah’s trusted name in sewage backup cleanup, basement sewage removal, and sewage restoration services—available 24/7 with free inspections for insurance-covered events.

If you are facing a rising tide of foul-smelling polluted water, don’t take any chances.

Removal of Sewage and Water
The first thing we will do is set to work with removing the sewage from the affected area. This job must be done post-haste, so we will arrive onsite with all the tools we need to stop the flow of sewage and begin draining the contaminated water right away.
Addressing the Contamination
Everywhere the sewage water flows, there will be furniture, flooring, and building materials affected by pestilential fluids. Everything that is touched by the sewage will become affected. But, don’t try lifting the ponderous sofa yourself, wait till our team arrives to work swiftly to protect your furnishings and structure. Once the area has been drained and cleared, we can begin addressing the pollution left behind.
Drying and Ventilating
Even though the waters have abated and the area is now looking better, the awful stench and disease-carrying waters remain soaked into the building and furniture. It will not be enough to sprinkle some baking soda around and place a fan on the spot. The whole place will need to be dried thoroughly to ensure no vestiges of polluted waters remain in the area. The faster this part of the task is completed, the fewer chances of damage you will see.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Once the black water has been properly dried and the massive air movers and industrial-strength blow dryers have finished their work. The area will look almost perfect, but the job is not over. There are still plenty of residual pathogens and toxins to address. This is when we will break out the eco-friendly cleaning agents and top-quality deodorizers. By the time we are done, you can expect a level of sanitization fit for a high-standard nursery. Rest assured there will be no harmful contaminants in your home or commercial location when we are finished our work.
Insurance Coverage
Call us before you report the damage to your insurance provider. Much of the work can be covered by the insurance coverage you are already paying for. Don’t wait for your insurance adjuster to clear the work, we have experience in reporting these disasters and can help you get the most from your policy. Besides, every minute you wait that sewage is soaking deeper into your home.
