Sewage cleanup is the removal of raw sewage and everything it soaked into, followed by cleaning and disinfection of the affected area. Because sewage carries bacteria and viruses, it is handled as a biohazard.

Riverdale averages about 16 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same. Many homes in Riverdale, about 42%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Riverdale usually includes:
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms

Contaminated drywall, trim and flooring are removed to clean material, and waste is sealed for proper disposal.

Sewer Backup Questions Answered for Riverdale, UT
What illnesses can raw sewage cause?
Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.
What should I do right after a sewage backup?
Keep everyone out of the area, including pets, and stop using sinks, tubs and toilets that feed the pipe. Turn off power to wet areas only if it is safe. Then call a cleanup team and your insurer, and take photos before anything is moved.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?
Often only with an added endorsement. Many standard policies treat sewer or drain backup separately from sudden water damage. Call your insurer before cleanup begins, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what they need to see.
What is Category 3 water, also called black water?
Category 3 water is the most contaminated level, and sewage is the standard example. It can carry disease-causing germs and should never be cleaned with household supplies alone. Flood water that touched sewage is treated the same way.
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
Usually not. Carpet and padding soak up Category 3 water and cannot be reliably made safe, so they are cut out and discarded. Hard surfaces, sealed wood and items in closed containers can often be cleaned and kept.
How much does a sewer backup cleanup cost?
The price depends on how much sewage there is, how far it spread and which materials must be removed. A bathroom overflow costs less than a flooded basement. The team sets the price after seeing the space, and nothing is decided on a call alone.
