You get your life back without the lingering health risks or property damage that comes with sewage contamination. No more worrying about harmful bacteria lurking in your floors or walls. No more dealing with that awful smell that seems impossible to eliminate.
Our thorough cleanup process doesn’t just remove what you can see. We eliminate the dangerous pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A that make sewage so hazardous. Your home becomes truly safe again, not just surface-clean.
The peace of mind is immediate. You know the job was done right by professionals who understand exactly what sewage contamination can do to Wisconsin homes if not handled properly.
We’ve been serving Greendale and the greater Milwaukee area for years as a family-owned restoration company. We’ve seen what Wisconsin’s aging sewer systems and harsh weather can do to homes throughout Milwaukee County.
Tree root intrusion is huge here in Greendale. Those mature oaks and maples that make our neighborhoods beautiful also send roots straight into sewer lines. Heavy spring rains and snowmelt overwhelm systems that weren’t designed for today’s weather patterns.
We’re not some national chain that treats every job the same. We know Greendale’s infrastructure, understand local building styles, and have relationships with area insurance adjusters who trust our documentation and process.
First, we assess the contamination level and set up containment barriers so sewage doesn’t spread to clean areas of your home. This isn’t just about the visible mess – sewage contamination can travel through subflooring and behind walls.
Next comes complete extraction using industrial-grade equipment that removes all standing water and sewage. We’re talking about pumps that can handle the worst backups, not shop vacuums that push contamination around.
Then we sanitize everything with hospital-grade disinfectants that eliminate the bacteria, viruses, and parasites that make sewage so dangerous. Every surface gets treated, not just wiped down. We use air scrubbers to remove contaminated particles from the air itself.
Finally, we dry and dehumidify using commercial equipment that prevents mold growth. Moisture trapped after sewage cleanup leads to bigger problems down the road if not handled correctly.

Your sewage cleanup includes everything needed to make your home safe and livable again. We handle the dangerous extraction, complete disinfection, structural drying, and air purification that sewage contamination requires.
Greendale’s older homes often have basement recreational areas, finished basements, and lower-level family rooms that get hit hardest when sewage backs up. We understand how to restore these spaces without compromising the structural integrity of your home.
We also work directly with your insurance company to document everything properly. Many Greendale homeowners don’t realize their policy covers sudden sewage backups but not gradual seepage or maintenance-related issues. We help you understand what’s covered and make sure claims get filed correctly.
Our service area covers all of Greendale plus surrounding Milwaukee County communities, so we’re always close when emergencies happen.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Greendale and can typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call. Sewage contamination creates serious health risks that get worse every hour, so speed matters.
Our emergency response includes immediate containment to prevent sewage from spreading to uncontaminated areas of your home. We bring all necessary equipment on the first trip – extraction pumps, containment barriers, and initial sanitization supplies.
Time is critical with sewage backups because bacterial contamination doubles rapidly in the first few hours. The sooner we start professional cleanup, the less damage to your property and the lower the health risks to your family.
Sewage contains dangerous bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Shigella that cause severe gastrointestinal illness, vomiting, and fever. Viruses like Hepatitis A and Norovirus spread through contaminated surfaces and can cause serious infections.
Parasites including Giardia and Cryptosporidium in sewage cause severe diarrhea, dehydration, and stomach cramps that can last weeks. Children, elderly family members, and anyone with compromised immune systems face higher risks from exposure.
Toxic gases released from sewage – methane, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide – cause breathing difficulties and can lead to long-term respiratory problems. Even brief exposure to sewage-contaminated areas can result in skin infections, rashes, and eye irritation. Professional cleanup eliminates these health hazards completely.
Most Wisconsin homeowner’s policies cover sudden and accidental sewage backups, but coverage varies significantly based on the cause and your specific policy terms. Burst pipes, equipment failures, and storm-related backups are typically covered.
However, damage from neglect, gradual leaks, or lack of maintenance usually isn’t covered. Many policies also require specific sewage backup coverage riders that cost extra but provide better protection.
We work directly with insurance adjusters throughout Milwaukee County and understand how to document sewage damage properly for claims. We take detailed photos, provide thorough reports, and can explain exactly what caused the backup to help ensure your claim gets approved. Always contact your insurance company immediately after sewage damage occurs.
Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours after sewage contamination, so our cleanup process includes aggressive moisture removal using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. We don’t just dry surfaces – we extract moisture from inside walls, subflooring, and other hidden areas.
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify all areas where sewage has penetrated, including behind walls and under flooring where you can’t see contamination. Any materials that can’t be completely dried and disinfected get removed and replaced.
Our final step includes antimicrobial treatments that prevent mold growth even if small amounts of moisture remain. We also monitor humidity levels during the drying process to ensure conditions don’t support mold development. This comprehensive approach prevents the secondary damage that often costs more than the original sewage cleanup.
First, evacuate the contaminated area immediately and keep family members and pets away from sewage. Don’t try to clean it yourself – sewage contains dangerous pathogens that require professional handling and protective equipment.
Turn off electricity to the affected area if you can do so safely from outside the contaminated space. Don’t walk through sewage water to reach electrical panels or outlets. Shut off your main water supply if the backup is still occurring.
Take photos or video of the damage for insurance documentation, but don’t enter contaminated areas. Call us immediately for emergency response, then contact your insurance company to report the claim. The faster professional cleanup begins, the less damage to your property and lower health risks to your family.
Complete sewage cleanup typically takes 3-7 days depending on the extent of contamination and the size of affected areas. Emergency extraction and initial sanitization happen on day one, but thorough drying and final restoration take additional time.
Greendale’s older homes often have finished basements and lower levels that require more extensive restoration when sewage backs up. Hardwood floors, drywall, and carpet in these areas may need replacement if contamination is severe.
We work efficiently but never rush the process because incomplete sewage cleanup leads to health hazards and property damage later. Our timeline includes daily monitoring to ensure proper drying and final air quality testing to confirm your home is safe. We keep you informed throughout the process so you know exactly what to expect.
