Sewage backup in your Brown Deer home means you’re dealing with serious health threats that get worse every hour. Raw sewage carries bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A that can make your family seriously ill.
You need complete decontamination using professional equipment and hospital-grade disinfectants. We extract every drop of contaminated water, sanitize all affected surfaces, and eliminate the dangerous pathogens that threaten your family’s health.
The outcome is a completely safe, clean home where your family can live without worry. No lingering health hazards, no foul odors, and no risk of mold developing later. Your Brown Deer property is restored to pre-damage condition with documentation for your insurance claim.
Flood Guys Restoration has been helping Brown Deer families through sewage emergencies for years. We’re a local, family-owned company that understands this community’s unique challenges, from aging sewer infrastructure to the drainage issues common in homes built during Brown Deer’s 1970s housing boom.
Our certified technicians live and work in this area. We use professional-grade equipment and follow strict safety protocols because we care about our neighbors’ health and safety. When sewage emergencies happen at 2 AM or during holidays, we’re available because we know these disasters don’t wait.
Brown Deer residents choose us because we show up when we say we will and do exactly what we promise. Your emergency becomes our priority.
We start by assessing exactly what you’re dealing with and identifying every area that needs attention. Our technicians suit up in full protective gear and use specialized extraction equipment to remove all sewage and contaminated water from your Brown Deer property.
Then comes the critical decontamination phase. We apply industrial-strength disinfectants that eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other dangerous pathogens. Every surface that contacted sewage gets properly sanitized according to health department standards—not just cleaned, but truly decontaminated.
The final step is complete drying and moisture control. We use professional dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate every trace of moisture that could lead to mold growth. We test moisture levels throughout and provide documentation showing your property is completely dry and safe.

Your sewage damage cleanup includes emergency extraction, complete decontamination, odor elimination, structural drying, and full documentation for insurance claims. We handle the insurance paperwork and work directly with your adjuster to streamline the process.
Brown Deer’s housing characteristics—with many homes from the 1970s and older sewer lateral connections—create specific vulnerabilities we understand well. The Village has invested $200,000 in addressing private lateral infiltration issues, but individual homes still face backup risks. We adjust our approach based on your property’s specific situation.
You also receive follow-up moisture monitoring to ensure no hidden dampness remains that could cause problems later. We provide detailed before-and-after documentation, moisture readings, and a complete work summary for your records and insurance claim.
Sewage backup creates immediate health dangers that require professional cleanup. Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and viruses including Hepatitis A that can cause severe illness through contact, inhalation, or contaminated surfaces.
Health risks include stomach infections, skin problems, respiratory issues, and potentially life-threatening diseases. Kids, elderly family members, and anyone with health conditions face even greater risks. The longer sewage sits in your home, the more dangerous it becomes as harmful germs multiply rapidly.
You can’t safely clean this yourself with household products. Professional decontamination using specialized equipment and hospital-grade disinfectants is the only way to eliminate these health threats completely and protect your family.
Coverage depends on your specific policy and what caused the backup. Many standard homeowner’s policies don’t automatically cover sewage backups, but you might have additional coverage or it could be included depending on your insurer and policy type.
Backups from covered causes like burst pipes are more likely to be covered than those from municipal sewer problems or maintenance issues. The best approach is checking with your insurance agent about your specific coverage before you need it.
We work with insurance companies regularly and know how to document everything properly for your claim. Our team handles the paperwork, communicates with adjusters, and provides the detailed documentation insurers require to process Brown Deer sewage damage claims efficiently.
We respond to Brown Deer sewage emergencies 24/7 and typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call. Sewage situations are genuine emergencies because health risks multiply rapidly and property damage gets worse every hour you wait.

Every minute counts with sewage contamination. The faster we can start extraction and decontamination, the better we can protect your family’s health and minimize damage to your Brown Deer property. That’s why we maintain round-the-clock availability.
Sewage cleanup is much more complex than clean water damage because of contamination and serious health hazards. Clean water damage involves extraction and drying, but sewage requires complete decontamination, sanitization, and safe disposal of contaminated materials.
Sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and chemicals requiring professional-grade disinfectants and strict safety protocols. Our technicians wear full protective gear and follow contamination control procedures that aren’t needed for clean water situations.
The cleanup process is also more intensive. Every surface that contacted sewage must be properly sanitized, contaminated materials must be safely disposed of, and complete decontamination must be verified before your Brown Deer home is safe to occupy again.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture removal using industrial dehumidifiers and high-powered air movers. We continuously monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process and don’t finish until everything reaches safe dryness levels.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold spores from developing. Our equipment creates proper airflow patterns to speed drying and prevent moisture from hiding in wall cavities or under flooring where mold could start growing.
Timing is everything—mold can start developing within 24-48 hours after sewage exposure. We begin the drying process immediately and maintain it continuously until moisture readings confirm your Brown Deer property is completely dry and safe from future mold problems.
Never attempt DIY sewage cleanup—it’s genuinely dangerous and puts your health at serious risk. Sewage contains harmful pathogens requiring professional equipment and safety protocols to handle safely. Without proper protective gear, you risk severe illness from bacteria, viruses, and toxic gases.
You also can’t achieve complete decontamination with household cleaning products. We use specialized disinfectants and equipment designed specifically for sewage contamination. Incomplete cleanup leaves ongoing health risks and property damage that will cost much more later.
Insurance companies often require professional documentation for claims, and improper cleanup can void your coverage entirely. Professional cleanup costs are minimal compared to potential medical bills, property damage, or insurance problems from inadequate DIY attempts.
