Crawlspace has gravel floor over dirt. Our whole house smells like sewage since the cistern overflowed onto the floor. What can we use to get rid of the smell?

Purchase a bag of quick lime and spread in in the crawl space. Good luck, Tom

Yep, I agree with Tom but read the caution on the bag. Don't get it wet and wear a mask and protective gloves.
