Our team knows Cudahy’s sewer system intimately—from the 55 miles of pipes ranging from 8″ to 48″ diameter to the 1,300 manholes throughout the community. This local expertise means faster response times and solutions tailored to your neighborhood’s specific needs.
With IICRC-certified technicians and advanced restoration equipment, we’ve earned the trust of Cudahy residents who need immediate, professional help during sewage emergencies.
First, we assess the full scope of contamination and health hazards. Our trained technicians identify all affected areas, including hidden moisture behind walls and under flooring that could cause future problems.

Your sewage damage cleanup includes everything needed to restore safety and livability. Professional extraction removes all contaminated water and materials, while specialized sanitization eliminates dangerous pathogens that cause serious illness.
In Cudahy, where homes often have basements and older plumbing systems, sewage backups frequently affect multiple levels. Our service includes basement sewage cleanup with enhanced safety measures, plus structural drying to prevent the mold issues common in Wisconsin’s humid climate.
You also receive insurance claim assistance and direct billing when possible. Given that most standard homeowner policies exclude sewage backup damage, our team helps navigate coverage options and documents everything needed for claims processing.
Sewage cleanup costs typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, with total projects averaging $2,000 to $10,000 depending on the affected area size and contamination level. Extreme cases with extensive structural damage can reach $50,000.
Several factors influence your final cost. Category 3 black water (from toilets or sewer backups) requires more extensive safety protocols than gray water from sinks or washing machines. The longer sewage sits, the more expensive cleanup becomes due to deeper penetration into materials and increased mold risk.
Emergency response fees may apply for after-hours service, but immediate action actually saves money by preventing extensive structural damage and mold growth that significantly increase restoration costs.
Sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other harmful pathogens that cause serious illnesses including gastrointestinal infections, skin conditions, and respiratory issues. Direct contact with raw sewage can result in Cholera, Polio, and Hepatitis A.
Airborne contamination becomes a major concern as sewage sits. Within hours, harmful microorganisms become airborne, creating respiratory hazards for anyone in the building. Children, elderly family members, and those with compromised immune systems face the highest risks.
Professional cleanup eliminates these health hazards through specialized sanitization that meets industry safety standards. Never attempt sewage cleanup yourself—the health risks are too severe and require professional-grade equipment and expertise to handle safely.
Mold growth typically begins within 24 to 48 hours in sewage-damaged areas. Wisconsin’s humidity levels accelerate this timeline, especially in basements where moisture gets trapped and ventilation is limited.
Once mold establishes itself, removal costs add $15 to $30 per square foot to your restoration expenses. More concerning, mold spreads rapidly through HVAC systems and porous materials, potentially contaminating areas far from the original sewage damage.
Professional drying equipment prevents mold growth by removing moisture from all affected materials, including hidden areas behind walls and under flooring. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers create conditions where mold cannot establish itself, protecting both your health and your wallet.
Most standard homeowner policies exclude sewage backup damage, but many insurance companies offer additional backup coverage for an extra monthly premium. Coverage specifics vary significantly between policies and providers.
Sudden and accidental water damage, such as from a burst clean water pipe, is typically covered. However, damage from neglect, gradual leaks, or sewer system failures often isn’t covered under basic policies. Flood-related sewage damage usually requires separate flood insurance.
Professional restoration companies help navigate insurance claims by providing detailed documentation, photos, and estimates that meet insurance requirements. We can also work directly with adjusters and provide direct billing when coverage applies, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses during an already stressful situation.
Category 3 black water includes any sewage containing human waste, toilet overflows, sewer line backups, or water contaminated with harmful bacteria and viruses. This is the most hazardous classification requiring specialized handling and safety protocols.
Black water also includes floodwater from rivers or lakes that may contain industrial chemicals, fertilizer runoff, and other hazardous materials. Any water entering your home from outside sources should be treated as Category 3 contamination.
Only licensed professionals can accurately determine water damage categories and appropriate cleanup methods. Attempting to handle Category 3 water damage without proper training and equipment poses severe health risks and legal liabilities. Professional assessment ensures proper classification and safe, compliant restoration.
Stay out of affected areas immediately to avoid health risks from dangerous pathogens. Turn off electrical power to affected areas if it’s safe to do so, and stop using water to prevent additional backup or contamination.
Contact professional sewage cleanup services immediately—every minute counts in preventing extensive damage and health hazards. Avoid trying to clean sewage yourself as it contains hazardous contaminants requiring specialized equipment and safety protocols.
Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t enter contaminated areas. If sewage has affected HVAC systems, turn them off to prevent spreading contamination throughout your home. Professional restoration teams have the equipment and expertise to handle sewage emergencies safely and effectively.
