When sewage backs up in a Frederic property, the cleanup has to be done correctly from the first step. Incomplete containment, improper material disposal, or skipped sanitization steps leave biological contamination in the structural materials — creating an ongoing health risk long after the visible mess is gone.
📞 Call +1-844-499-0972 — Frederic Sewage ResponseThe four factors that make our Frederic Sewage Cleanup service different from a general water damage company handling a sewage call.
IICRC certification is the standard that defines whether a sewage cleanup was done correctly. Our Frederic team is certified. The difference is measurable.
Proper disposal is a regulatory requirement, not a premium upgrade. It's standard on every Frederic job.
One application of sanitizer after a sewage event is not sufficient. Our protocol uses multiple applications with documented dwell times.
Our Frederic claim coordinators handle the insurance piece. We can coordinate clearance testing when it's required.
COS Water Damage Restoration handles the complete scope of Sewage Cleanup in Frederic — from containment and extraction through material removal, sanitization, structural drying, and rebuild. Category 3 protocols, start to finish.
The first action our Frederic sewage crew takes on any Category 3 event is establishing negative-pressure containment — critical plastic sheeting barriers that prevent sewage contamination from spreading into unaffected areas of the property through airborne particles, foot traffic, and air circulation. Containment also controls odor migration within the property while remediation is underway. Simultaneously, we identify and coordinate the correction of the blockage or failure that caused the backup — whether that's a main line obstruction, a failed cleanout, or a sump failure — so that remediation isn't interrupted by a secondary event.
Extracting Category 3 sewage water from a Frederic property requires specific PPE — full protective suits, respirators rated for biological hazard, and disposable boots — for every technician in the contamination zone. We use dedicated contaminated-water extraction equipment that is not shared with standard water damage jobs and is properly sanitized between uses. After extraction, all materials that contacted Category 3 water and cannot be decontaminated to a safe standard — carpet, pad, standard drywall, fiberglass insulation, and any non-cleanable surface materials — are removed as regulated waste, bagged in approved containers, and disposed of under WI biohazard material regulations.
After material removal, every remaining structural surface — framing, subfloor sheathing, masonry, concrete, and any hard surface that contacted sewage water in your Frederic property — receives a multi-phase sanitization treatment using EPA-registered, hospital-grade antimicrobial and antifungal agents. The sanitization sequence includes spray application, documented dwell time, surface contact, and at minimum one additional application after the first dwell cycle. This is not a one-spray process. The S520 protocol our Frederic team follows is designed to address the pathogen load that Category 3 water deposits on structural surfaces.
Odor neutralization is a final treatment step, not a product sprayed at the end to cover incomplete remediation.
Most WI homeowner's policies cover sewage backup events under a backup coverage rider. Our Frederic claim coordinators are familiar with the specific documentation that backup claims require — including the distinction between backup events (covered) and sewer line failures (may require separate coverage) — and build your claim file from the first day to match what your carrier's adjuster will look for. We file the claim, coordinate the adjuster visit, and follow the settlement through. You focus on your household; we handle the insurance.
One company from sewage backup to finished reconstruction. No coordination gap, no separate contractor handoff.


Call +1-844-499-0972 and a live Frederic dispatcher answers — not a recording. Describe the situation; our dispatcher confirms the sewage backup details, dispatches the nearest Category 3-equipped crew, and confirms estimated arrival. Evacuate the affected area and prevent household members and pets from entering while we're en route.
Our Frederic crew arrives in full Category 3 PPE with containment materials, dedicated contaminated-water extraction equipment, and sanitization products. Containment is established before extraction begins — no exceptions. After containment, we identify the source of the backup and coordinate correction if needed before the cleanup scope is assessed.
After initial containment and source control, our Frederic project manager assesses the full Category 3 contamination extent, identifies all materials requiring removal, and prepares a written Xactimate-based scope covering extraction, material removal, sanitization, structural drying, and reconstruction. You review the scope and the cost before any material removal or treatment begins. If insurance is involved, the claim is filed the same day.
Extraction, material removal, multi-phase sanitization, structural drying, and reconstruction proceed under your approved scope. Daily progress updates keep you informed. Clearance testing is coordinated where required or requested. Final sign-off at a walkthrough with your project manager. Written satisfaction guarantee on every Frederic job.



"We have a young child and a dog and the moment the sewage smell hit I knew this was something I couldn't handle myself. COS Water Damage Restoration's Frederic team was there in under 60 minutes, contained the area so our family could stay in the upper floors, and handled every part of the cleanup in a way I trusted. The clearance testing they coordinated at the end gave me documented proof that the remediation was complete."
"Three years later, no odor, no mold, no recurring issues. COS Water Damage Restoration did the Frederic sewage cleanup right the first time. I'm telling every neighbor I know to call them first."
"I've used general contractors for water damage before with mixed results. After calling COS Water Damage Restoration for a sewage event in Frederic, I understand the difference between a certified Category 3 remediation team and a general restoration company that 'also does sewage.' The protocols aren't comparable."
