NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You’re not just dealing with a messy cleanup—you’re facing a health emergency that threatens everyone in your home. Raw sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that can cause serious illness if not handled properly.
When our sewage cleanup is complete, you get your life back. No toxic odors lingering in your home. No hidden contamination threatening your family’s health. No moisture breeding mold in places you can’t see. Your property becomes safe and livable again.
The difference between calling us and trying to handle this yourself isn’t about convenience—it’s about protecting what matters most to you.
We at Green Island Group understand the unique sewage problems that Captree Island properties face. With most Suffolk County homes relying on septic systems and the island’s proximity to Great South Bay, sewage emergencies are more common here than many homeowners realize.
We’ve cleaned up everything from toilet overflows to major basement floods caused by storm surge overwhelming aging sewer lines. Our technicians know how to safely handle Category 3 water damage and follow strict protocols that protect both your family and our crew.
When sewage disasters strike at 2 AM on a weekend, we’re already on our way. Our local presence means faster response times when every minute counts for your health and property.
Your sewage emergency starts getting resolved the moment you call us. We arrive fast, assess the damage, and immediately contain the contaminated area to prevent sewage from spreading throughout your home.
Step one is extracting every drop of contaminated water using truck-mounted equipment designed for hazardous waste. This isn’t a job for household wet vacuums—we use industrial systems that can handle the most dangerous cleanup situations.
Next comes structural drying with commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. Hidden moisture leads to mold growth and structural damage, so we monitor moisture levels throughout your property until everything meets industry drying standards.
Finally, we sanitize all affected surfaces with EPA-approved treatments and eliminate odors using advanced deodorization techniques. Any necessary repairs get completed so your home is fully restored to its pre-damage condition.

Our comprehensive sewage cleanup includes water extraction, structural drying, deodorization, sanitization, and sewage backup repairs. You don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors during an already overwhelming situation.
Captree Island’s unique location creates specific challenges that generic restoration companies don’t understand. Storm surge from Great South Bay can overwhelm sewer systems, and the island’s septic infrastructure requires specialized knowledge that comes from years of local experience.
We handle your insurance claim from start to finish, documenting damage and working directly with adjusters. Many homeowners discover too late that sewage backup coverage is separate from regular water damage insurance, but we help navigate these complexities to maximize your benefits.
Call us immediately—every hour you wait makes the situation more dangerous and expensive. Sewage contains harmful bacteria and viruses that multiply rapidly in standing water, creating serious health risks for everyone in your home.
Within 24-48 hours, contamination penetrates deeper into walls, floors, and building materials. What starts as a manageable cleanup becomes a major reconstruction project when you delay professional help.
We answer emergency calls 24/7 because sewage disasters don’t wait for convenient times. The faster we can extract contaminated water and begin the restoration process, the less damage you’ll face and the lower your costs will be.
Sewage cleanup requires specialized training and equipment that regular water damage companies don’t have. This is Category 3 water damage—the most dangerous classification that poses serious health risks.
Our technicians wear full protective gear including respirators and hazmat suits during cleanup. We use EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments specifically designed to eliminate dangerous pathogens, not just remove water.
Contaminated materials like carpet padding, insulation, and saturated drywall must be safely removed and disposed of according to hazardous waste regulations. Regular water restoration companies often lack the proper certifications and equipment to handle sewage safely, potentially leaving your family exposed to health risks.
Sewage backup coverage typically requires a separate endorsement on your homeowner’s policy—it’s not automatically included with standard coverage. Many Captree Island residents don’t realize they need this additional protection until disaster strikes.
If you have sewage backup coverage, your policy may cover cleanup costs, property restoration, and personal belongings replacement. Coverage limits vary widely from $5,000 to $50,000 or more depending on your specific policy.
We work directly with insurance companies to document damage, provide detailed estimates, and handle the entire claims process. Our experience with adjusters helps ensure you receive maximum benefits available under your coverage. In many cases, we can bill your insurance company directly to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
Most sewage cleanup projects take 3-7 days from start to finish, depending on how much of your property was affected. Emergency extraction and containment happen within hours, but proper drying and sanitization can’t be rushed without risking future problems.
Structural drying takes the longest because we monitor moisture levels throughout the process. We won’t consider the job finished until all materials reach safe moisture levels that prevent mold growth.
If repairs are needed like replacing drywall or flooring, that adds time to the process. We coordinate all work to minimize disruption and provide daily progress updates so you always know what to expect and when you can safely return to normal use of your home.
Never attempt DIY sewage cleanup—it’s extremely dangerous and usually costs more in the long run. Raw sewage contains hepatitis, E. coli, salmonella, and other pathogens that can cause serious illness without proper protection and equipment.
Without professional extraction equipment, contamination spreads deeper into building materials where it continues causing damage and health problems. Inadequate cleaning and drying leads to mold growth that can cost thousands more to fix later.
Professional cleanup includes liability insurance, proper hazardous waste disposal, and warranty coverage on our work. When you attempt cleanup yourself, you assume all responsibility for health risks and property damage—risks that far exceed any money you might save.
Captree Island faces unique sewage challenges due to its location and aging infrastructure. Storm surge from Great South Bay can overwhelm sewer systems during heavy weather, causing backups that affect multiple properties simultaneously.
Most homes here rely on septic systems that can fail when high groundwater levels interfere with proper drainage. This is especially problematic during spring thaws and extended rainy periods when the water table rises.
Tree root intrusion is another major issue—roots grow into sewer lines seeking moisture, eventually cracking pipes or creating complete blockages. Combined with older clay and cast iron sewer lines that deteriorate over time, these factors make Captree Island properties particularly vulnerable to sewage emergencies requiring immediate professional response.
