Many homes in Marinette, about 79%, date from before 1980. Older plumbing is a common source of backups, and older flooring and trim soak up sewage deeply. Even without a major flood, Marinette County has a Relatively Low river flood risk rating from FEMA. Storm runoff can enter sewers and cause backups into basements and low floors.
The work often covers:
- Containment and negative air to keep contamination out of unaffected rooms
- 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
- Spot checks of the affected area and documentation for insurers and landlords

Common Questions About Sewage Cleanup in Marinette
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.
How do I get sewage smell out of a house?
The smell comes from the contamination, so the fix is removing sewage and soaked materials first, then disinfecting and deodorizing. Air fresheners only cover it. If the odor persists, hidden material such as subfloor or insulation may still hold sewage.
Do plumbers clean up sewage?
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.
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.
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 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.
