Many homes in River Heights, about 57%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. River Heights averages about 19 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from River Heights, UT Property Owners
Can I clean sewage myself?
A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard to see.
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.
Is sewage cleanup the same as water damage restoration?
No. Water from a clean source can often be dried in place, but sewage is a biohazard that requires removal of contaminated materials and disinfection. Drying alone does not make a sewage-affected space safe.
What if the sewage came from a septic tank?
A septic overflow is cleaned as raw sewage, both inside any affected building and on nearby ground. Contaminated soil, materials and surfaces are handled and disinfected. A septic service may also need to empty or repair the tank.
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call River Heights Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
Do sewage cleanup companies handle commercial properties?
Yes. Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings follows the same biohazard steps, with added attention to keeping part of the building usable and to documentation for managers and insurers.
