Your family returns to a completely safe home. Not “mostly clean” or “good enough” – genuinely safe. Every surface disinfected to hospital standards. Every odor eliminated at the source. Every health risk removed.
You don’t worry about what’s lurking behind walls or under floors. Professional-grade testing confirms your air quality meets safety standards. Your Riverwest home is restored to pre-damage condition, often better than before.
The sewage emergency that felt overwhelming becomes a distant memory. You focus on your family, your work, your life – not wondering if your home is truly clean.
We’ve served Milwaukee Metro Area families for years as a local, family-owned restoration company. We’ve cleaned up sewage backups in dozens of Riverwest homes and understand what you’re dealing with.
Those 1930s-era homes? We know their plumbing quirks. The basement layouts that trap contaminated water? We’ve seen them all. The way heavy rains overwhelm aging sewer lines in this neighborhood? We respond to those calls regularly.
When other companies are still finding your address, we’re already on scene with the right equipment. This is our community, and we’re here 24/7 when sewage disasters strike.
We start with immediate containment to prevent sewage from spreading to clean areas of your home. Our technicians assess contamination levels and map the safest extraction approach while protecting your family from exposure.
Powerful extraction equipment removes all standing sewage water and contaminated materials. We don’t just pump and hope – we verify complete removal using moisture detection equipment that sees what you can’t.
Then comes the deep work. Hospital-grade disinfectants eliminate bacteria, viruses, and pathogens on every surface. Industrial air scrubbers remove airborne contaminants. Specialized drying equipment prevents mold growth. We test everything twice before declaring your space safe.

You get end-to-end sewage damage cleanup without coordinating multiple contractors. Emergency extraction, contaminated material removal, structural drying, odor elimination, disinfection, and restoration – we handle everything under one roof.
Insurance becomes simpler when you work with professionals who understand the claims process. Many Riverwest homeowners discover their policies cover sudden sewage backups better than expected. We document everything properly and often bill insurance directly.
Riverwest’s older homes need specialized attention during sewage cleanup. Those beautiful hardwood floors from the 1930s? We know how to save them. The unique basement configurations? We’ve restored dozens. The plumbing layouts that make cleanup tricky? We navigate them expertly.
We typically arrive within 60-90 minutes, 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Our trucks stay fully equipped and ready specifically for sewage emergencies because timing is everything with contaminated water.
Sewage poses immediate health risks through direct contact and airborne contamination. Bacteria multiply rapidly, and mold growth begins within 24-48 hours. Every hour of delay increases health risks and restoration costs.
You’re not waiting for us to gather equipment or coordinate schedules. When you call with a sewage emergency, we’re already prepared with extraction equipment, disinfectants, protective gear, and everything needed to start cleanup immediately.
Your family must evacuate affected areas until we complete the cleanup and disinfection process. Sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other pathogens that cause serious illness through contact or inhalation.
We establish strict containment barriers preventing contamination from spreading to clean areas. Our technicians wear full hazmat protection and use industrial ventilation systems to control airborne contaminants during the restoration process.
Only after complete disinfection, air quality testing, and final safety verification do we give the all-clear. Your family’s health is never worth risking – we ensure your home is genuinely safe before anyone returns.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden, accidental sewage backups, though coverage varies by policy and the backup’s cause. We work directly with insurance companies and handle the entire claims process for you.
Typically covered scenarios include burst sewer lines, toilet overflows, and sudden blockages. Gradual leaks or damage from poor maintenance usually aren’t covered. We document everything thoroughly with photos and detailed reports to support your claim.
We often bill your insurance company directly, so you only pay your deductible upfront. Our team handles all paperwork, communicates with adjusters, and ensures you receive maximum coverage for your sewage damage restoration.
Sewage involves Category 3 “black water” – the most dangerous type of water damage. Unlike clean water from burst pipes, sewage contains human waste, bacteria, viruses, and pathogens requiring specialized handling and complete disposal protocols.
Our technicians wear full protective equipment and follow strict biohazard procedures. We use hospital-grade disinfectants and often must remove porous materials like drywall, insulation, and carpeting that can’t be safely cleaned after sewage exposure.
The restoration process includes extensive deodorization using thermal fogging and molecular-level odor elimination. Sewage creates persistent smells that penetrate building materials – we don’t mask odors, we eliminate them completely using professional-grade equipment.
Mold prevention requires aggressive moisture removal within 24-48 hours. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment to dry all building materials – including hidden areas behind walls and under floors.
Riverwest’s older homes present unique challenges with their plaster walls, hardwood floors, and basement configurations. We monitor moisture levels continuously using specialized meters that detect hidden moisture in materials you can’t see or access.
We apply antimicrobial treatments to all exposed surfaces, creating protective barriers against future mold growth. If we discover existing mold during cleanup, we address it immediately using proper containment and removal techniques before continuing the restoration process.
Local expertise matters when you’re dealing with sewage emergencies. We understand Riverwest’s specific challenges – the 1930s-era plumbing, the basement flooding patterns, the way heavy rains overwhelm neighborhood sewer systems.
We know local building codes, permit requirements, and which restoration approaches work best in these older homes. This knowledge prevents delays and complications that out-of-town companies encounter when they’re unfamiliar with the area.
As a family-owned business serving this community, our reputation depends on satisfied neighbors. We live and work here, so we’re invested in doing the job right the first time. You’re not just another job number – you’re part of our community.
