Manti, UT · Sanpete County
Sewage in a Manti basement, garage or crawl space is a biohazard, not a mop-and-bucket job. Call (877) 812-4220. Cleanup technicians remove the sewage, bag the soaked materials and disinfect hard surfaces.
If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. For a suicide crisis, call or text 988.
Commercial sewage cleanup is the same biohazard work done in shops, restaurants, offices and apartment buildings, where many people share the space and the area must be cleared and sanitized before use resumes.
For sewer backups in Manti, you need more than pumping out water. Call Manti Biohazard Cleanup Help and the crew pulls soaked flooring and drywall, treats framing and subfloor, and deals with the odor at its source in your Sanpete County property.
Many homes in Manti, about 64%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Manti averages about 13 inches of rain a year. Backups here usually come from blockages, roots or broken pipes rather than storms, but the cleanup is the same.
What sewage & biohazard cleanup covers:
Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.
Wastewater is taken out of the building, and standing liquid in crawl spaces or low corners is cleared.
Contaminated materials are bagged and removed, and surfaces are scrubbed and treated with hospital-grade disinfectant.
The crew treats lingering smells, checks air paths and walks the owner through what was done.

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.
Drywall is porous and holds contamination that can spread germs and odor long after the surface looks clean. Crews usually cut out wall board that sewage touched, and often take out a margin above the wet mark to reach clean material.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Keep people and pets out, then call (877) 812-4220.
