You’re not just getting sewage removed—you’re getting your life back. No more wondering if dangerous bacteria are still lurking in your floors or walls. No more worrying about mold growing behind drywall you can’t see.
Within hours, your Old North Milwaukee home becomes a safe place for your family again. The smell disappears completely. The health risks are eliminated entirely. And you can focus on what matters instead of stressing about contamination that might still be there.
That’s what proper sewage damage cleanup looks like when it’s done right the first time.
We’re Flood Guys Restoration, and we’ve been helping Old North Milwaukee families through sewage emergencies for years. We know this neighborhood—the historic homes built in the 1950s, the tight-knit community feel, the way basements flood when the old sewer lines can’t handle heavy rains.
Most importantly, we understand that sewage damage isn’t just about property—it’s about getting your family back to safety. That’s why we respond 24/7 with the advanced equipment and systematic approach that eliminates contamination completely, not just temporarily.
First, we stop the source and assess exactly what you’re dealing with—because not all sewage situations are the same. We identify contaminated areas, test moisture levels, and create a plan that addresses your specific situation.
Next comes complete water extraction using industrial-grade equipment, followed by removal of any materials that can’t be properly sanitized. We don’t take shortcuts here—if something can’t be made completely safe, it gets replaced.
Finally, we sanitize everything using hospital-grade disinfectants, dry the structure completely, and restore your home to pre-damage condition. Before we leave, we test to make sure moisture levels are normal and the air quality is safe for your family.

Sewage damage is classified as Category 3 water—the most dangerous type. It contains bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that can cause serious illness if not handled properly. This isn’t something you can clean yourself with household products.
In Old North Milwaukee’s older homes, sewage problems often happen because of aging sewer lines, tree root intrusions, or heavy rains overwhelming the system. When 75% of plumbing emergencies involve blocked sewers, and sewage can release over 10 gallons per minute, you need professionals who understand both the urgency and the health risks.
We provide complete sewage extraction, contaminated material removal, thorough sanitization, structural drying, and full restoration—plus we work directly with your insurance company to handle the paperwork while you focus on your family’s safety.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Old North Milwaukee, typically arriving within 90 minutes of your call. Sewage cleanup should begin within hours because the longer contaminated water sits, the greater the health risks and property damage become.
The moment you call, we dispatch our team with all necessary equipment to begin immediate water extraction and contamination control. We understand that sewage emergencies don’t wait for business hours, which is why we’re always ready to respond—day or night, weekends, and holidays.
Many Wisconsin homeowners’ insurance policies include sewage backup coverage as an add-on, but coverage varies significantly between policies. We work directly with insurance companies throughout the claims process to help maximize your coverage and minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
Our team documents everything thoroughly, provides detailed estimates, and communicates directly with adjusters to ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to. We’ve helped hundreds of Old North Milwaukee families navigate insurance claims, so we know exactly what documentation insurance companies need to process claims quickly.
Sewage damage is classified as Category 3 water—grossly contaminated water that poses serious health risks. Unlike clean water damage, sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, parasites, and pathogens that can cause gastrointestinal infections, skin conditions, and respiratory problems.
This means we can’t just dry out your property—we must completely sanitize every surface, remove contaminated materials that can’t be properly cleaned, and use specialized equipment to eliminate health hazards. Regular water damage cleanup methods aren’t sufficient for sewage contamination, which is why you need professionals trained specifically in biohazard remediation.
Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in moisture-rich environments, making rapid response and thorough drying essential. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment to ensure complete structural drying—not just surface drying.
We monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process and don’t consider the job complete until readings are within normal ranges. Our systematic approach includes treating affected surfaces with antimicrobial solutions to prevent future mold growth, because preventing mold is much easier and less expensive than removing it later.
For your family’s safety, we typically recommend staying elsewhere until the cleanup and sanitization process is complete. Sewage contamination releases airborne particles that can cause illness, especially for children, elderly family members, or anyone with compromised immune systems.
The length of time depends on the extent of contamination, but most residential sewage cleanups are completed within 2-3 days. We work as quickly as possible while maintaining thorough safety standards, and we’ll keep you updated throughout the process so you know exactly when it’s safe to return home.
First, keep everyone away from the contaminated area to prevent health exposure. Turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely, and stop using water to prevent additional backup. Don’t attempt to clean sewage yourself—it requires specialized equipment and protective gear.
Call us immediately at our 24/7 emergency line, then contact your insurance company to report the claim. If possible, take photos for documentation, but don’t enter contaminated areas without proper protection. The faster we can begin professional cleanup, the less damage you’ll have and the sooner your family can safely return home.
