@@RedRose4141 yes. This is a Category 3 biohazard, and must be remediated. It happened to our 90 year old house 7 months ago and repairs are still not complete. Floors had to be removed. Walls removed 2 feet up. This is no joke to deal with. Our city, like MOST cities in the US, did nothing to help us the night their workers flooded our home with raw sewage. It was $50k damage in 15 minutes. We had to sue them to recoup, which we did. This is also NOT covered in your homeowner’s insurance, because it is the cities negligence. I’m shocked at the insensitivity of some of these comments. Would you all like to live in a house that smells like a septic tank? Filled with everything flushed down toilets in your community? Seeping through your walls and floors? And they said it was as much as 3 feet deep!
Utah’s building/inspection codes are abysmal. It’s like they don’t ever inspect anything so the “cleanup” companies can make millions profiting from the lack of inspections.
Looks like the city is pushing the blame on a subcontractor... The subcontractor will most likely just file bankruptcy. There's not going to be a winner in any of it
We had that happen in Navy family housing in Great Lakes back in the early 90s. At that time senior enlisted housing was 4-plexes that were tri-level with a basement we could walk out and up a small flight of stairs into the backyards. Sewage backed up in our unit and our basement was full of raw sewage. Navy put us all up at the Navy Lodge including our pets while the decomtaminated everything they could that many of had in that lower level. It was a family room and playroom for us. It was horrible to smell the stench then walk down to see raw sewage a good foot deep in your living space. I was just glad we didn't have to clean it all up once they fixed the main sewer line and pumped it all out of our units
In my 35 years of road building I have never heard of a paver filling a sewer line with asphalt . Hope that contractor has really Good Insurance.😵💫😵💫
Not only are you going to have the expense of the cleanup but also the expense of hiring a lawyer to sue the town. Towns are like the insurance companies, deny the claims until the courts make you pay
😡 Not ok. Thats biohazard.
It will wash away. Don't be a baby.
You know plumbers deal with it every day and they are fine right?
A Horrible Nightmare

Three feet of poop!
Hard to imagine!
That them to court!!!
Those HOUSE'S ARE DONE!!! NOBODY CAN LIVE THERE AGAIN!!!
That's how Typhus begins. So, can we assume the city or state didn't send inspectors out to certify the quality of the work performed?
Sorry. "No new taxes" equals not enough people to insure things are done correctly

How about prosecute the sub contractor management for pupil health violations
Who's going to pay for the damage? I hope the homeowners are not going to be stuck with the bill 😕
No, the contractor will pay for it!
The homeowner will have to sue to force the contractor to pay them back.
Horrible!
*HORRIBLE!*
🤔 HORRIBLE 🤢
OMG!!!!
OOOOHHHHH SOMEBODY GETTING PAID
OMG
Septic or city sewer 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢😊
City
Sue the city and the contractors for their negligence
Looks like the city is pushing the blame on a subcontractor... The subcontractor will most likely just file bankruptcy. There's not going to be a winner in any of it
I'm sure they are paying for it!
For sure. It is not covered under homeowners insurance.
Back flow valves are important.
Yes
This is sheer incompetence.
And they’ll fight for 10 years to get a cent.
Not if they use the right attorney, one who specializes in it - a sewer attorney. It took us 5 months to Sue our city this year.
This make me so glad I'm on a septic system! I only have my own sewage to deal with, not anything coming from the street.
Same. I don't have to deal with a bunch of city workers who are prob snorting coke all day to mess up my life.
Had this happen in our old house many years ago. It was horrible.
Ugh. Poor homeowners.

They should all have sewer back water valves. These homes are not up to code, and that's a fact.
Backflow preventers were not required until the mid ‘80s. Most people with older homes have not even heard of them.
Utah has a REPUTATION for incompetent people doing shotty work!! Its all over the place,SAD!!! GREED TO MAKE THE MONEY!!
Disgusting. The houses are condemned.
What is.going on in Utah 😮
Disgusting and very incompetent. Shoddy workmanship
SUB contractor,, right, city blaming someone else, didn't make sure that the people they hired were competent
How horrible ..I hope someone contracted some one to clean it up..or is it a big loss. Condemn it.
Holy crap!
😳😱OMG
Home For Sale.. Slight Smell.
In All Honesty... those Homes Need Rebuilding of All Affected Areas in the Home..
So who pays for this destruction???
The homeowner does. It is not covered under homeowners insurance. Then you have to find a good sewer attorney to sue the city.
Brick concrete chunks? Sounds like it was actually poop.
You sure you didn’t upset a little boy from South Park Colorado named Eric Cartman?
Ugh!!! Cant imagine!! Did the city clean up the cellars? 😮
Id be LIVID it!!! Come on, what kind of people are they hiring? And who didn't check their work?
In my 35 years of road building I have never heard of a paver filling a sewer line with asphalt . Hope that contractor has really Good Insurance.😵💫😵💫
Check out Mike Rowe on his show “dirty jobs“ where he did the cleanup on houses from sewer back ups like this.
Insurance is gonna have a feild day w ths why when the gov is liable they pass the buck off on others every x
Not only are you going to have the expense of the cleanup but also the expense of hiring a lawyer to sue the town. Towns are like the insurance companies, deny the claims until the courts make you pay
Pass the buck has already begun.
He is making excuses pay those people and clean it up
🤢🤮😵💫
This happened to me in my apartment and they still have never done nothing about it
🤮🤮🤮🤮 poo water no bueno.
So gross.
Revolting.
Disgusting 🤮 that’s definitely a lawsuit if I’ve ever seen one
☣️ biohazard. Health issue. City needs to pay.
She tells the story with a smile? 😢
It happens.
It always city contractors. No accountability. Nobody watching their work.
Low bid perhaps?
I’ve had this happen twice. If the city is at fault they will pay to clean it up.
I would sure hope they are paying for the clean up ……
All of you need sue water company needs pay pay pay pay
Sue your mom
A 3 FOOT FECES!!!!!
