Sewer backed up? Here's what to do. If a backup occurs, first take action to protect people and valuable property. You may call the City or special service district at (801) 785-2941. As a service, we will check the main sewer. Any blockage found in the main lines will be promptly cleared. If the main line is not blocked, we recommend that you call a plumbing or sewer contractor to check your lateral line. Maintenance and repair of the lateral serving the home is the owner's responsibility. Regardless of the location of the blockage, clean up of the home should be done as soon as possible to minimize damage and possible negative health effects. There are qualified local businesses that specialized in this type of clean up.

Backup Prevention

• Large quantities of toilet paper
• Paper towels
• Feminine napkins
• Disposable diapers
• Clothing, socks, underwear
• Plastic, metal, wood, etc.
• Large quantities of cereals or grains (they can swell with water)
• Live seeds, beans and peas (they may sprout)
• Grease, fats or oils
• Sand
• Fibrous materials (cotton balls, hair, rags, cigarette butts...)
• Sponges, scouring pads

Section 715 of the International Plumbing Code requires installation of a back water valve on drains to plumbing fixtures that are below the next manhole upstream from the building. If you do not have such a device, have one installed. Insurance Many homeowners'policies exclude sewer backups, but this coverage often can be added. You should contact your insurance agent for detail.
