Tooele averages about 18 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same. Housing age varies across Tooele. Whatever the age of the pipe, a backup that reaches carpet or drywall calls for removal, not just drying.

- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows

What Happens During Raw Sewage Cleanup in Tooele
2. Sewage extraction
Standing sewage is pumped or scooped out, and the contaminated area is mapped to see how far the liquid traveled.
3. Sanitize the structure
Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.
4. Deodorize and hand back
Odor treatment finishes the job, and the owner receives documentation of the work for insurers or property managers.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Tooele, UT
How long does sewage cleanup take?
Small jobs may be finished in a day, while larger ones with tear-out, drying and odor treatment take longer. The time depends on the area affected and what had to be removed. The crew can tell you what to expect after assessing the space.
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.
How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?
Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.
How long does it take to get sick from raw sewage?
Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea can start within hours or take a few days. Anyone with symptoms after exposure should contact a doctor. Children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are at higher risk.
Should I call a plumber or a cleanup company first?
If sewage is still coming up, a plumber may need to stop the source. If sewage is already on the floor, a cleanup team can start containing it at once. Many property owners call both, and it does not matter much which is first. Sewer backup companies and plumbers often work one after the other on the same job.
Can a sewage cleanup service work at night or on weekends?
Yes. Sewage backups do not wait for business hours, so you can call Tooele Biohazard Cleanup Help any time, 24/7. Describe what happened and you get the next safe step explained.
