Raw Sewage Cleanup in Sherman Park, Milwaukee, WI: What the Work Involves

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.

When sewage backs up in your Sherman Park property, call Sherman Park Biohazard Cleanup Help for a crew that treats it as a Category 3 biohazard. The team removes the sewage, discards contaminated materials and disinfects the affected area in Milwaukee County with EPA-registered products.

About 84% of homes in Milwaukee were built before 1980, and older clay or cast iron sewer pipes crack and clog with roots over time. With a Relatively High river flood risk rating from FEMA for Milwaukee County, flood events here can mix floodwater with sewage, which is treated as Category 3 contamination.

The work often covers:

  • Cleaning and sanitizing of salvageable furniture, appliances and stored belongings
  • Septic tank and lift station overflow cleanup inside and around buildings
  • Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
  • Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
  • Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms

From Sewer Backup to Safe Space: The Process in Sherman Park, Milwaukee, WI

1. Assessment of the spill

A cleanup technician looks at where the sewage came from, which rooms it reached and which materials it touched.

2. Pump and remove

Wastewater is taken out of the building, and standing liquid in crawl spaces or low corners is cleared.

3. Cut out and discard

Contaminated drywall, trim and flooring are removed to clean material, and waste is sealed for proper disposal.

4. Clean, disinfect, confirm

Every exposed surface is cleaned and disinfected, then the team confirms the area is ready for repairs or normal use.

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Sherman Park, Milwaukee, WI Property Owners

What if sewage backs up through a shower or tub?

Treat it as raw sewage. Keep people out of the bathroom, stop using the fixture and call for cleanup. The liquid can reach under flooring and into walls, so a crew checks beyond the visible puddle.

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.

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.

How do I know if sewage is leaking under my house?

Common signs include a sewer smell in the yard or crawl space, soft or damp ground near the foundation, gurgling drains and slow drains in several fixtures at once. A plumber can confirm the leak. Once it is found, a cleanup team can take care of the contaminated soil, materials and odor.

Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?

Usually not. Carpet and padding soak up Category 3 water and cannot be reliably made safe, so they are cut out and discarded. Hard surfaces, sealed wood and items in closed containers can often be cleaned and kept.

What should I do right after a sewage backup?

Keep everyone out of the area, including pets, and stop using sinks, tubs and toilets that feed the pipe. Turn off power to wet areas only if it is safe. Then call a cleanup team and your insurer, and take photos before anything is moved.
