Only about 19% of homes in Greenville were built before 1980, but newer pipes can still fail from roots, blockages or ground movement. Whether a property in Outagamie County is owned or rented, sewage on the floor has to be cleaned the same way, and renters should notify the landlord before cleanup starts.
A typical sewage & biohazard cleanup job includes:
Doors are closed, vents covered and the work area is isolated so contamination stays where it started.
Wastewater is taken out of the building, and standing liquid in crawl spaces or low corners is cleared.
Porous items soaked by Category 3 water are removed, and the crew sorts belongings into keep and discard with the owner.
Odor treatment finishes the job, and the owner receives documentation of the work for insurers or property managers.

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.
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.
Plumbers usually clear the blockage or repair the pipe, but most do not remove contaminated materials or disinfect the space. A sewage cleanup company picks up where the plumber stops, and the two jobs often happen in sequence.
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.
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.
