Sewage Backup Cleanup for Borchert Field Owners, Landlords and Managers
Sewage cleanup is the removal of raw sewage and everything it soaked into, followed by cleaning and disinfection of the affected area. Because sewage carries bacteria and viruses, it is handled as a biohazard.
In Borchert Field, every sewage job is both a cleanup and a health matter. When you call Borchert Field Biohazard Cleanup Help, crews wear respirators and protective suits, remove what cannot be saved, sanitize what can and check the work in your Milwaukee County property before leaving.
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. Many homes in Milwaukee, about 84%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply.
Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Borchert Field usually includes:
- Cleanup of sewage under a house or in a crawl space where pipes have failed
- Disinfection of hard surfaces, framing and subfloors with EPA-registered products
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- Odor removal and deodorizing after the sewage has been taken out
- Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
From Sewer Backup to Safe Space: The Process in Borchert Field, Milwaukee, WI
2. Pump and remove
Wastewater is taken out of the building, and standing liquid in crawl spaces or low corners is cleared.
3. Sanitize the structure
Framing, subfloor and concrete are cleaned and treated, since sewage can soak into surfaces that look dry.
4. Deodorize and hand back
Odor treatment finishes the job, and the owner receives documentation of the work for insurers or property managers.

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Borchert Field
How much does a sewer backup cleanup cost?
The price depends on how much sewage there is, how far it spread and which materials must be removed. A bathroom overflow costs less than a flooded basement. The team sets the price after seeing the space, and nothing is decided on a call alone.
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.
How long does it take to get sick from raw sewage?
Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea can start within hours or take a few days. Anyone with symptoms after exposure should contact a doctor. Children, older adults and people with weak immune systems are at higher risk.
Do sewage cleanup companies handle commercial properties?
Yes. Commercial sewage cleanup in restaurants, offices, shops and apartment buildings follows the same biohazard steps, with added attention to keeping part of the building usable and to documentation for managers and insurers.
Should I call a plumber or a cleanup company first?
If sewage is still coming up, a plumber may need to stop the source. If sewage is already on the floor, a cleanup team can start containing it at once. Many property owners call both, and it does not matter much which is first. Sewer backup companies and plumbers often work one after the other on the same job.
Who pays for sewage cleanup, the landlord or the tenant?
It depends on the cause, the lease and local law. A landlord's policy may cover the building, while a renter's policy may cover belongings. If the blockage was in a public sewer main, the city or utility may be responsible for the repair.
