Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
They removed mold from our HVAC system and ducts. Breathing at home feels easier now.

Local knowledge
Sewage Mold Remediation for Genoa City, WI homes
Sewage Mold Remediation in Genoa City tends to start the same way mold does across Walworth County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Pell Lake, Powers Lake, Twin Lakes and the rest of Genoa City call us.
We handle sewage mold remediation for Genoa City the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Williams Bay, about 20 minutes from our Williams Bay base, so we can usually reach a Genoa City home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Sewage Mold Remediation in Genoa City, WI: common questions
Is a sewage backup more dangerous than a regular water leak?
Yes, sewage contamination carries health hazards a clean water leak doesn't, which is why porous materials are typically removed rather than dried and reused.
Does sewage cause mold faster than clean water?
The combination of moisture and organic contamination can create favorable conditions for mold to develop quickly, so fast response matters.
Will insurance cover a sewage backup?
Coverage depends on your specific policy, sometimes requiring a sewer backup rider. We document the damage thoroughly to support your claim.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after sewage mold remediation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Genoa City home.
Should I try to clean up a sewage backup myself?
It's best to avoid direct contact and call a professional crew, since proper protective equipment and disposal practices are important for safety.
What materials do you remove after a sewage backup?
Porous materials like carpet, carpet padding, and drywall that contacted sewage are generally removed and disposed of rather than cleaned in place.
Will my insurance cover sewage mold remediation in Genoa City?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Genoa City claim moves.
Do you serve Genoa City?
Yes. We cover all of Genoa City, including Pell Lake, Powers Lake, Twin Lakes, and the rest of the Genoa City area. We are based in Williams Bay, about 20 minutes from our Williams Bay base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
