Our professional sewage cleanup eliminates dangerous pathogens, removes contaminated materials, and restores your property to a safe, livable condition.

We handle the entire restoration process, from emergency extraction to final sanitization. You can focus on your family while we handle the mess, the insurance paperwork, and the complex cleanup that sewage damage demands. Most Bay View homeowners are back in their homes within days, not weeks.
We’ve been serving Bay View and the greater Milwaukee area for years, understanding exactly what homeowners in this historic neighborhood face. We know the unique challenges that come with Bay View’s older homes—many built in the 1940s—and how sewage issues can affect these properties differently than newer construction.
As a local, family-owned company, we’ve built our reputation on responding fast and doing the job right the first time. When your neighbors on Kinnickinnic Avenue or near the lakefront need sewage cleanup, they call us because we understand the urgency and handle every situation with the expertise it demands.
Our team knows Bay View’s building codes, works directly with local insurance adjusters who know our work, and has the equipment and training to handle any sewage emergency. From minor toilet overflows to major sewer line backups, we’ve seen it all in Bay View’s diverse housing stock.
Our sewage cleanup process starts the moment you call. We arrive within hours, fully equipped to handle Category 3 black water contamination safely. No guesswork, no delays—just immediate action to protect your health and property.
First, we assess the extent of contamination and secure the area to prevent further exposure. Our technicians use professional-grade protective equipment while they work—this isn’t something you want to tackle yourself, especially with the dangerous pathogens sewage contains.
Next comes complete sewage extraction using powerful pumps and specialized equipment designed for contaminated water removal. We remove all standing water and contaminated materials that can’t be properly sanitized. Carpets, drywall, insulation—anything that sewage has penetrated gets removed and properly disposed of according to Wisconsin environmental regulations.
Then we sanitize and disinfect every affected surface using hospital-grade antimicrobial treatments that eliminate bacteria, viruses, and parasites. We don’t just clean what you can see—we treat areas where pathogens might be hiding, including wall cavities and subflooring.
Finally, we dry and dehumidify the space completely using industrial-grade equipment, then conduct final testing to ensure your home is safe for reoccupancy. You get documentation of our work for insurance purposes and your own peace of mind.

Our sewage cleanup service covers everything you need to get your Bay View home back to normal. We handle emergency water extraction, complete sanitization, structural drying, odor elimination, and final restoration. No job is too big or too small—from single-bathroom backups to whole-house contamination.
Bay View homeowners face unique challenges with sewage issues that many restoration companies don’t understand. Many homes in the area were built before modern plumbing standards, making them more susceptible to backups and overflows. The neighborhood’s proximity to Lake Michigan can also create additional moisture challenges during cleanup and drying.
We also coordinate directly with your insurance company, providing detailed documentation and working with adjusters who know our work throughout the Milwaukee area. Most homeowners’ policies don’t automatically cover sewage backup, but we help you navigate the claims process and maximize any coverage you do have. We’ve helped hundreds of Bay View families get the most from their insurance claims.
Our comprehensive service includes 24/7 emergency response, complete contamination removal, antimicrobial treatment, structural drying, deodorization, and final restoration. We don’t consider the job done until your home is completely safe and restored to pre-damage condition—and we back that with our guarantee.
Call immediately—within the first hour if possible. Sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that multiply rapidly, especially in Wisconsin’s humid climate. Every hour you wait increases health risks and potential damage to your property.
The first 24-48 hours are absolutely critical for sewage cleanup. Quick response prevents sewage from penetrating deeper into porous materials like wood subflooring and wall studs. It also prevents secondary issues like mold growth, which can start within 24 hours in the right conditions—and Bay View’s older homes with their original materials are particularly susceptible.
We provide 24/7 emergency response specifically because sewage cleanup can’t wait for business hours. The sooner we start extraction and sanitization, the more of your property we can save and the lower your overall restoration costs will be. Waiting until morning or the weekend can easily double your cleanup costs.
Most standard homeowners policies exclude sewage backup damage, but many Wisconsin homeowners don’t realize they can add backup coverage for around $5-10 per month. This optional coverage typically provides $10,000-25,000 in protection—often enough to cover most sewage cleanup situations.
The key is understanding what caused the backup. If it’s from a municipal sewer line failure, you might have coverage under your base policy. If it’s from your own plumbing or a septic system failure, you’ll likely need that additional backup coverage. Bay View’s older sewer infrastructure can sometimes complicate these determinations.
We work directly with insurance adjusters throughout Wisconsin and help document everything properly for your claim. We know which local adjusters understand sewage cleanup costs and how to present your claim for maximum coverage. Even if you don’t have coverage, we provide detailed estimates and work with you on payment options. Don’t let insurance concerns delay cleanup—the health risks are too serious.
Sewage is classified as Category 3 “black water”—the most contaminated and dangerous type of water damage. Unlike clean water from a broken pipe, sewage contains human waste, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can cause serious illness or death if not handled properly.
The cleanup process is completely different from standard water damage restoration. We can’t just dry out sewage-affected materials like we would with clean water. Anything porous that sewage has contacted—carpet, padding, drywall, insulation—typically needs to be removed and replaced because it can’t be adequately sanitized.
Our technicians use full protective equipment including respirators, rubber boots, gloves, and protective suits. We follow strict protocols for containment, removal, and disposal of contaminated materials. The sanitization process uses hospital-grade antimicrobials, not just regular cleaning products. This is why DIY sewage cleanup is so dangerous and why you need professionals with proper training and equipment—especially in Bay View’s older homes where contamination can spread through original building materials.
Simple sewage backups confined to one bathroom typically take 1-3 days for complete cleanup and initial drying. More extensive contamination affecting multiple rooms or basement areas can require 1-2 weeks for full restoration, depending on the extent of damage.
Bay View’s older homes sometimes present additional challenges that can extend the timeline. If sewage has penetrated original hardwood floors or gotten into wall cavities, we need extra time to ensure complete removal and sanitization. We won’t rush the process when your family’s health is at stake—but we work efficiently to get you back home as quickly as possible.
The timeline also depends heavily on how quickly you call us. Fresh sewage is much easier to clean than contamination that’s been sitting for days. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Most homeowners can return to unaffected areas of their home within 24-48 hours, but we don’t clear the contaminated areas until testing confirms they’re completely safe.
First, get everyone out of the contaminated area immediately, especially children, elderly family members, and anyone with compromised immune systems. Don’t try to clean anything yourself—sewage contains pathogens that can make you seriously ill, and you likely don’t have the proper protective equipment.
Turn off electricity to the affected area if you can do so safely from outside the contaminated zone. Don’t walk through sewage water or touch contaminated surfaces. If you absolutely must enter the area, wear rubber boots and gloves at minimum, but it’s better to wait for professionals with proper protective gear.
Call us immediately for emergency response, then contact your insurance company to report the claim. Take photos from a safe distance if possible, but don’t delay cleanup to document everything—we handle detailed documentation as part of our service. The most important thing is getting professional help fast to protect your health and minimize property damage.
Sewage cleanup costs typically range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the extent of contamination and damage. Small, contained backups in a single bathroom start around $2,000, while extensive contamination affecting multiple rooms or basement areas can reach $10,000 or more.
Several factors affect the final cost in Bay View specifically: the amount of standing sewage, how long it’s been present, what materials are contaminated, and whether structural repairs are needed. Bay View’s older homes sometimes require additional work if sewage has penetrated original flooring or gotten into wall cavities that weren’t built with modern moisture barriers.
We provide upfront estimates and work directly with your insurance company to maximize any coverage you have. Many homeowners are surprised to learn their cleanup costs are partially covered, especially if they have backup coverage. We also offer payment plans because we know sewage emergencies don’t wait for convenient timing. Remember—the most expensive option is always waiting. Delayed cleanup leads to more damage, higher costs, and serious health risks.
