You walk back into a space that’s genuinely safe. No lingering odors. No hidden contamination. No worries about what’s growing behind your walls.
That’s what happens when sewage cleanup is done right the first time. Your family can breathe easy knowing every surface has been properly decontaminated using professional-grade equipment and EPA-approved protocols.
You get your life back without the constant worry about health risks or property damage spreading to other areas of your home.
We’ve been serving Harbor View and surrounding Wisconsin communities as a family-owned restoration company. We understand the unique challenges that local properties face, from aging infrastructure to harsh Wisconsin winters that can stress plumbing systems.
Our team responds 24/7 because sewage emergencies don’t wait for business hours. We’ve seen how quickly contamination spreads in Harbor View’s older homes and how devastating the damage can become without immediate professional intervention.
When other companies might hesitate to handle hazardous sewage cleanup, we show up equipped and ready to restore your property safely.
First, we secure the area and assess the contamination level to keep everyone safe. Our team arrives with professional-grade protective equipment and immediately begins containment procedures to prevent the sewage from spreading to unaffected areas.
Next, we extract all contaminated water and sewage using powerful industrial pumps designed specifically for hazardous waste removal. We don’t just remove what you can see – we locate hidden moisture that could cause problems later.
Then comes the critical decontamination phase where we sanitize every affected surface using EPA-approved disinfectants that eliminate dangerous bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. We follow this with thorough drying using commercial-grade equipment to prevent mold growth.
Ready to get started?
You get complete sewage extraction, decontamination, and restoration services designed specifically for Harbor View properties. This includes removal of all contaminated materials that can’t be safely restored, followed by thorough sanitization of remaining surfaces.
Our Harbor View clients also receive air quality restoration using HEPA filtration systems and professional-grade deodorization to eliminate sewage odors completely. We understand that many Harbor View homes have unique layouts and older construction that requires specialized attention during the restoration process.
The service includes documentation and photos for insurance claims, plus ongoing monitoring to ensure no secondary issues develop. We handle everything from initial emergency response through final restoration, so you’re not juggling multiple contractors during an already stressful situation.
Sewage cleanup needs to start within the first few hours to prevent serious health risks and extensive property damage. Sewage contains dangerous bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella that multiply rapidly in Harbor View’s humid conditions.
The longer sewage sits, the deeper it penetrates into flooring, walls, and furniture, making restoration more difficult and expensive. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours, creating additional health hazards that are particularly concerning for children and elderly residents.
That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency response in Harbor View – because waiting until morning or Monday can literally mean the difference between a manageable cleanup and extensive reconstruction.
Standard homeowners insurance typically covers sudden and accidental sewage backups, but coverage varies significantly between policies and circumstances. If the backup results from a covered peril like a burst pipe, you’re usually covered for the resulting damage.
However, if the backup occurs due to maintenance issues you’ve neglected – like tree roots in your sewer line that you knew about but didn’t address – insurance may deny the claim. Many Harbor View homeowners don’t realize their policy excludes certain types of water damage.
We help document everything properly for your insurance claim and can work directly with your adjuster to ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to. Our detailed photos and moisture readings provide the evidence insurance companies need to process claims quickly.
Sewage is classified as Category 3 water damage – the most dangerous type of contamination that requires specialized training and equipment to handle safely. Unlike clean water from a burst pipe, sewage contains human waste, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can cause serious illness.
Regular water damage restoration techniques aren’t sufficient for sewage because standard cleaning products can’t eliminate the health hazards. Professional sewage cleanup requires EPA-approved disinfectants, specialized extraction equipment, and protective gear to prevent exposure to dangerous contaminants.
The restoration process is also more extensive because any porous materials that contacted sewage – like drywall, insulation, or carpeting – often need complete removal and replacement rather than cleaning. This protects your family from long-term health risks that regular water damage cleanup might miss.
Never attempt DIY sewage cleanup – it’s extremely dangerous and often makes the situation worse. Sewage contains deadly pathogens that can cause hepatitis, gastroenteritis, and other serious infections, especially if you have any cuts or open wounds.
Professional sewage cleanup requires specialized equipment like industrial pumps, air scrubbers, and commercial-grade disinfectants that aren’t available to consumers. Without proper protective equipment and training, you’re putting your health at serious risk.
DIY attempts also typically miss hidden contamination behind walls or under flooring, leading to mold growth and structural damage that costs far more to fix later. Insurance companies may also deny claims if they determine improper cleanup contributed to additional damage.
Preventing mold after sewage cleanup requires thorough moisture removal and proper dehumidification – something that’s critical in Harbor View’s climate conditions. We use commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate all moisture, not just what’s visible on surfaces.
Our team also removes any materials that can’t be properly dried, like insulation or drywall that’s absorbed sewage water. These materials become breeding grounds for mold even after they appear clean and dry on the surface.
We follow up with antimicrobial treatments on all affected surfaces and conduct moisture readings throughout the drying process to ensure levels return to normal. This comprehensive approach prevents the mold problems that often develop weeks or months after inadequate sewage cleanup.
First, evacuate the affected area immediately and keep people and pets away from the contamination. Don’t try to clean anything yourself or walk through sewage water, even if it looks relatively clean – it contains dangerous pathogens that can make you seriously ill.
Turn off electricity to the affected area if you can do so safely from outside the contaminated zone. Sewage water conducts electricity and creates serious electrocution risks, especially in Harbor View’s older homes with aging electrical systems.
Contact us immediately for emergency sewage cleanup while avoiding any contact with contaminated surfaces or materials. Take photos for insurance documentation if you can do so safely, but don’t delay professional cleanup to document everything – your health and safety come first.
