What a sewer cleanup involves
Sewage is contaminated water, so stay out of it and call us. We remove it, take out the carpet, drywall and insulation it soaked, clean and sanitize every surface and dry the structure so mold doesn't follow. Then our crew rebuilds what was removed. We answer 24/7 in Green Bay and across Northeast Wisconsin, and the estimate is free.
Signs of a Sewer Backup
Sewage comes up through the lowest drain in the house first, which is usually a basement floor drain, toilet or shower. The warning signs often show up before the mess does. Watch for:

If it wasn’t for me having a business relationship with Recoveron I would have offered them jobs @ K Kelly !!! They were just great to work with, knowledgeable and their work ethic is just something you do not come across these days!! they should be commended!!”
“Professional, knowledgeable and thorough! We are beyond pleased with our updated bathroom and attic service. We were very pleased with how courteous all staff was with us throughout our projects. Additionally, we were impressed with how clean they left the work areas in our home after each work day was completed. We will look to Recoveron again for future work.”
“We use Recoveron quite often for smaller mold and mildew issues as well as any major water issues. Recoveron has always been very good in response as well as follow up with recommendations.”
“We had a roof leak which led to plaster damage in a ceiling and an adjacent wall. Recoveron did a fantastic job in repairing the damaged area. It is now virtually impossible to tell where the original damage occurred. Travis and Emily did the work in a short period of time and in a very professional manner. Thank you Steve Broekman and Recoveron for a job well done!”
“Recently, my office building had water backup from a 2nd floor bathroom which leaked through the walls and ceilings of the building, the damage was severe. We called Recoveron and there response time was amazing. Through the entire process of removing what was damaged, drying out period, taking care of repairs, and doing final steps- everything was professionally handled and communicated. Based on how we were taken care of, I highly recommend Recoveron”
“My parents discovered flooding in their home, after returning from vacation this past summer. Recoveron was professional, courteous and helpful, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was restored the right way. It was peace of mind knowing that a qualified company was helping them get back on their feet. Thank you!”
“Steve and his crew are the best ! Restored our house back to , and even better than it was prior to our electrical fire 8/8 2020 . He made sure that we were satisfied with every aspect of repair , and his subcontractors and high end businesses .
June 2022 we have these guys back to install our luxury vinyl in the entire living space on main level . 1300 sq. ft. approx . Liv8ng room , one spare bedroom and one bath are completed . Looks fabulous . This is why we want these guys to do the install . They also move furniture , opposite of the dealer we bought the flooring from .
Recoveron does a complete job , even doing a great clean-up . We are having them do our staircase also to beef that up . Thanks Steve for your great work !”
“Great experience. Were able to come out the day after I called to give an estimate. Got me in their schedule when it worked best for me. The ladies that came to do the work were professional, friendly, and timely. Will certainly contact them again for any other damage needs”
“The guys showed up 15 – 30 minutes early everyday that the service was provided. Presented themselves with the highest professionalism. Explained to me there process of removing and cleaning out the mold. Each day they outline the steps that where to be taken.”
“It went great!”
“Recoveron did a great job identifying, assessing, and estimating the damage to our home quickly. The project manager worked closely with our insurance company to provide an accurate estimate, then proceeded to find any specialty contractors required to complete the repair work. Once work was started, the repair was completed in a timely manner. Commination on cost was maintained well throughout the project. Recommended for difficult repair projects.”
“Can’t start to give enough praise to this company. From start to finish their team was very professional and also extremely caring. Every step of the way they were attentive to our needs and did everything in their control to get our house back together after storm damage. Highly recommended in every aspect!”
Cost & Insurance
Every backup is different, so we price the job after we see it, and the estimate is free.
Standard homeowners policies often exclude sewer and drain backup unless you added a water backup endorsement, and that endorsement often has its own limit. Every policy is different, so check yours or ask your agent before assuming either way.
Recoveron is a preferred vendor for major insurance companies. We photograph the damage and document the work so your adjuster has what they need.
Get a Free EstimateNo, a sewage backup should be cleaned up by professionals. Sewage is Category 3 water, the most contaminated kind, and it carries bacteria and other germs. The area has to be properly cleaned and sanitized, and porous materials like carpet and drywall usually have to be removed. Recoveron handles sewer backup cleanup 24/7 in Green Bay and Northeast Wisconsin.
Often only if your policy has a water backup endorsement. Many standard homeowners policies exclude sewer and drain backup unless that coverage was added, so check your policy or ask your agent. Look for “water backup” or “sewer and drain backup” in the endorsements section. Recoveron is a preferred vendor for major insurance companies and documents the damage and the cleanup to help with your claim.
Porous materials that sewage touched usually have to go, including carpet, carpet pad, drywall, insulation and upholstered furniture. Hard surfaces like concrete, tile and metal can generally be cleaned and sanitized. Recoveron removes what can’t be saved, sanitizes the rest and handles the repairs. Our guide covers what to keep and what to throw away in more detail.
Stay out of the affected area and keep children and pets away. Stop using sinks, toilets, showers and the washer, because more water down the drain can push more sewage up. Don’t touch outlets or appliances near the water. Take photos for your insurance if you can do it safely, then call Recoveron at 920-469-3473, day or night.
A sewer backup happens when a blocked or damaged line, or an overloaded city sewer, sends sewage back up through your drains. Common causes are tree roots, grease, wipes flushed down the toilet, older pipes that crack or sag, and heavy rain or snowmelt. If the line itself is blocked, a plumber usually needs to clear it. Recoveron cleans up the damage and does the repairs.
Cleanup, sanitizing and drying usually take several days, and rebuilding comes after that. The exact time depends on how much of the home was affected, which materials have to be removed and how wet the structure got. Repairs start once moisture readings confirm everything is dry, and your estimate includes a timeline.
The cost depends on how far the sewage spread, which materials have to be removed, how long it sat and how much rebuilding is needed. A backup on a bare concrete floor is simpler to clean up than one that soaked into a finished basement. Recoveron looks at the damage first and gives you a free written estimate before work starts.
Sewage is "Category 3" water, the most contaminated kind. What has to be thrown out after a sewer backup, what can be cleaned, and how to stay safe.
