Utah Hills Restoration is Provo's IICRC-certified sewage cleanup company serving all of Utah County 24 hours a day. A sewer backup is not just a plumbing problem — it's a Category 3 biohazard. Category 3 black water contains E. coli, Norovirus, Hepatitis A, and Giardia (CDC). The water itself, the porous materials it contacts, and the air in the affected space all become biohazardous. Plumbers clear blockages. They do not handle what comes after. Utah Hills Restoration handles everything after the blockage is cleared — using IICRC S500 and S520 protocols from extraction through clearance testing.

Our 6-Step Sewer Backup Cleanup Process

  1. 1

    Emergency Dispatch — Real Person Answers

    We confirm your address, ask three quick questions about the backup source and extent, and dispatch the nearest certified crew. No voicemail. No forms while your basement is flooding. These six steps are the same for every sewage cleanup in Utah we handle, from a Provo basement to a Salt Lake City rental.

  2. 2

    Arrival, Safety Check & Source Containment

    Category 3 water and electricity are a dangerous combination. We confirm the water source is off and check for exposed wiring before entering. Full PPE always deployed for sewage events.

  3. 3

    Moisture Mapping & Scope Assessment

    Sewage water travels further than it appears — up to 8–10 feet inside walls through capillary action. We map every affected area using calibrated moisture meters before any extraction begins.

  4. 4

    Written Estimate Before Any Work Begins

    You receive a written scope with itemized costs before we touch anything. No pressure, no surprises. Insurance documentation starts from this point.

  5. 5

    Category 3 Extraction & Porous Material Removal

    Industrial extraction of standing black water. All porous materials that absorbed Category 3 sewage — drywall, carpet, insulation, subfloor — are removed per IICRC S500. Materials contaminated by sewage cannot be dried in place.

  6. 6

    Decontamination, Drying & Clearance Testing

    EPA-registered antimicrobials applied to all affected surfaces. HEPA air scrubbing deployed. Structural drying runs until calibrated meter readings confirm dry standard. Clearance testing verifies the space is safe before reconstruction begins.

Utah County Infrastructure: What Makes Cleanup Different Here

Utah County covers a range of infrastructure ages and soil conditions that generic sewer backup cleanup companies from outside the area often misread. Provo's pre-1980 neighborhoods run clay and cast iron laterals approaching or past their design life. Vineyard and Saratoga Springs sit on former Geneva Steel wetland soils with Utah Lake water table at 2–8 feet — an intrusion risk that has nothing to do with the sewer system. Eagle Mountain's newer construction has 100–200 foot laterals through bentonite desert clay that heaves and cracks pipe regardless of age. Cedar Valley still has Orangeburg pipe (bituminized fiber, pre-1980) in some older parcels — a material that deteriorates to a soft, tar-like consistency by 40–50 years. That local knowledge is what separates Utah sewage cleanup done right from a crew that treats every basement the same.

These are not abstract risk categories — they change the source identification process, the cleanup scope, the extraction equipment required, and sometimes the category of water (Category 2 groundwater versus Category 3 sewage) we are dealing with. Misidentifying water category on arrival wastes thousands of dollars on protocol that the contamination type does not require, or under-scopes cleanup that actually requires full biohazard treatment.

South Utah County and Salt Lake Valley Service

Every service on this page is also available south of Provo, where sewer rules change from one city line to the next. Mapleton homes often depend on ejector pumps, Salem basements flood from storm water as often as from sewage, Payson names grease and roots as its leading private-line causes, and Santaquin leaves laterals entirely to residents. Goshen and Elberta have no public sewer, so every backup there is a septic backup. The Utah County overview lists each city side by side.

In Salt Lake County, sewer service is split among the cities and several improvement districts. We work in Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Magna, Midvale, West Jordan, South Jordan, Sandy, Riverton, Draper, and Herriman, using the same IICRC Category 3 process.
