Sewage is classed as Category 3, the most contaminated level of water, sometimes called black water. Category 3 cleanup uses personal protective equipment, sealed disposal and EPA-registered disinfectants.

Are you a property owner, tenant, landlord or manager in St. Francis, WI? Call St. Francis Biohazard Cleanup Help for sewage backup cleanup in Milwaukee County at any hour. Crews contain the area first so contamination does not travel to your clean rooms.

Renters make up about 45% of households in St. Francis. Tenants should tell the landlord right away, and the cleanup team can provide documentation for the lease and any claim. Milwaukee County carries a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and rising water can overload sewer pipes and push wastewater back up through floor drains.

The work often covers:

  • Sanitizing after sewage reaches concrete slabs, tile grout and unfinished basement walls
  • Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
  • Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread
  • Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
  • Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords

How a Sewage Cleanup Company Works a Job in St. Francis, WI

1. Stop the spread

Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.

2. Extract and clear

Sewage is removed from the floor and low areas, and debris, trash and soiled belongings are cleared out.

3. Take out what absorbed it

Porous items soaked by Category 3 water are removed, and the crew sorts belongings into keep and discard with the owner.

4. Sanitizing and deodorizing

Remaining surfaces are washed and disinfected, and odor is removed at its source rather than covered up.

Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in St. Francis, WI

How do I clean sewage off concrete?

Concrete is porous, so sewage soaks in. The surface is scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a disinfectant, and the wash water is collected rather than spread. Stubborn odor may need a second round of treatment.

Is a sewage backup a biohazard?

Yes. Raw sewage is Category 3 contamination and can carry bacteria, viruses and parasites. That is why cleanup crews wear protective gear and remove porous materials instead of just drying them.

Can sewage backup make me sick even after it is cleaned up?

If the cleanup missed contaminated materials, germs and odor can linger. That is why crews remove porous materials, disinfect every surface they touched and inspect the work. Thorough removal is what lowers the risk.

What if the sewage came from a septic tank?

A septic overflow is cleaned as raw sewage, both inside any affected building and on nearby ground. Contaminated soil, materials and surfaces are handled and disinfected. A septic service may also need to empty or repair the tank.

How do I get sewage smell out of a house?

The smell comes from the contamination, so the fix is removing sewage and soaked materials first, then disinfecting and deodorizing. Air fresheners only cover it. If the odor persists, hidden material such as subfloor or insulation may still hold sewage.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup?

Often only with an added endorsement. Many standard policies treat sewer or drain backup separately from sudden water damage. Call your insurer before cleanup begins, take photos and keep receipts, and ask what they need to see.
