Professional Sewage Cleanup for Lauderdale Lakes Properties

Commercial sewage cleanup is the same biohazard work done in shops, restaurants, offices and apartment buildings, where many people share the space and the area must be cleared and sanitized before use resumes.

In Lauderdale Lakes, every sewage job is both a cleanup and a health matter. When you call Lauderdale Lakes Biohazard Cleanup Help, crews wear respirators and protective suits, remove what cannot be saved, sanitize what can and check the work in your Walworth County property before leaving.

Even without a major flood, Walworth County has a Relatively Moderate river flood risk rating from FEMA. Storm runoff can enter sewers and cause backups into basements and low floors. Housing age varies across Lauderdale Lakes. Whatever the age of the pipe, a backup that reaches carpet or drywall calls for removal, not just drying.

Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup in Lauderdale Lakes usually includes:

  • Bagging and proper disposal of contaminated materials as hazardous waste
  • Cleanup after toilet, tub, shower and floor drain overflows
  • Decontamination of HVAC components and air paths when sewage odor has spread
  • Raw sewage removal from floors, basements, crawl spaces, garages and utility rooms
  • Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms

Step by Step: Sewage Removal and Disinfection in Lauderdale Lakes, 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. Cleanup and tear-out

Liquid is removed first, then anything that cannot be cleaned, such as soaked flooring and wall board.

4. Sanitizing and deodorizing

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

Raw Sewage Cleanup: Questions from Lauderdale Lakes, WI Property Owners

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.

What illnesses can raw sewage cause?

Sewage can carry germs such as E. coli, norovirus, hepatitis A and Giardia. They spread through skin contact, splashes and hand to mouth contact. Washing well and wearing protection reduce the risk, but removal by a crew reduces it most.

Can I clean sewage myself?

A very small spill on a hard floor can be handled with gloves, boots, eye protection and a disinfectant used by label directions. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or a large area needs professional cleanup, because hidden contamination is hard to see.

What is Category 3 water, also called black water?

Category 3 water is the most contaminated level, and sewage is the standard example. It can carry disease-causing germs and should never be cleaned with household supplies alone. Flood water that touched sewage is treated the same way.

What are the signs of a sewage leak?

Watch for a rotten-egg or sewer smell, wet spots or stains on floors and walls, unusually green grass over a pipe, and multiple drains backing up at the same time. If any of these show up, keep people away from the area and have the cause checked.

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.
