Q&A
What should I do if sewage backs up in my home?
Avoid contact with the water, shut off electricity if safe, and call our emergency line immediately. Sewage contains harmful pathogens and should only be handled by professionals.
Can sewage water be cleaned with regular household products?
No. Store-bought cleaners cannot fully disinfect contaminated water or surfaces. Professional sanitization is necessary to ensure safety.
How long does sewage cleanup take?
Most cleanups are completed within 1–3 days, depending on the extent of damage and drying time.
Is sewage damage covered by insurance?
In many cases, yes — especially if caused by sudden or accidental incidents. We help handle your claim directly with your insurance provider.
Can sewage backups cause mold?
Absolutely. Moisture and humidity from sewage backups can lead to mold within 24–48 hours if not dried properly.
What causes sewage backups?
Common causes include clogged pipes, tree root intrusion, damaged sewer lines, or heavy rainfall overwhelming the system.
Is it safe to stay in my home during sewage cleanup?
It depends on the severity. If contamination is extensive, it’s best to stay elsewhere until the area is fully sanitized.
Do you provide commercial sewage cleanup?
Yes. We service residential, commercial, and industrial properties across the Salt Lake area with fast, discreet, and professional restoration.
