Atherton West sits west of Redwood Road in Taylorsville with mostly 1960s-1980s single-family homes on smaller lots. Sewage backups here often trace to aging clay lines that crack when winter freezes hit or when heavy snowmelt overwhelms the Salt Lake County system. Taylorsville Sewage Cleanup Co runs trucks from 2490 W 4700 S and reaches Atherton West streets within minutes for extraction, line jetting, and drying before mold sets in the crawlspaces common under these homes.
Hot summer irrigation and sudden cloudbursts send extra water into already strained laterals along 4700 South. We isolate the cleanout, pump standing effluent, and treat affected drywall and carpet without tearing up the narrow side yards that back up to neighbors. Cold snowy winters bring the opposite problem: frozen vents and ice dams that push wastewater back through floor drains in basements near Atherton Park.
Residents in Atherton West call us first because we know which blocks sit lower and which sewer mains the county has already lined. We arrive with the right hoses and air movers sized for these compact lots and leave the property clean enough to pass a walkthrough the same day.

Sewage Cleanup in Atherton West — Local Notes
- •Narrow side yards and shared fences in Atherton West limit equipment access, so we often work from the street cleanout on 4700 South rather than backyard excavation.
- •Older clay sewer lines under homes built in the 1970s here are frequently damaged by tree roots from the mature maples along Redwood Road.
- •Winter freezes along 5600 South and 4700 South regularly cause vent stack blockages that force backups into lower-level baths and laundry rooms.
- •Salt Lake County mains in this pocket sit shallow; heavy spring snowmelt from the benches routinely overwhelms them and sends effluent into Atherton West crawlspaces.
