NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
When water damage hits your Merrick home or business, you need more than just someone to suck up the water. You need a team that understands how quickly things can go from bad to worse—and how to stop that from happening.
We handle the entire process from emergency water extraction to final repairs. That means you’re not juggling multiple contractors, waiting weeks for callbacks, or discovering hidden damage months later. Your property gets restored to its original condition, often better than before.
The difference is in the details. We use thermal imaging to find moisture you can’t see, industrial-grade dehumidifiers that work faster than standard equipment, and antimicrobial treatments that prevent mold before it starts. You get your life back without the lingering problems that come with incomplete restoration.
Green Island Group has been helping Merrick property owners recover from water damage for years. We know this area—from the older homes near Merrick Road that are prone to basement flooding to the newer developments that face different challenges with storm water.
Being local means we understand Nassau County’s weather patterns, the insurance companies you’re likely dealing with, and the contractors you’ll need for follow-up work. We’re not a national franchise that treats every job the same way.
When you call us, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community. We’ve handled everything from burst pipes in February to storm surge damage, and we know exactly what needs to happen to get your property back to normal as quickly as possible.
First, we assess the damage and stop the water source if it’s still active. Our team uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to map exactly where water has traveled—including areas that look dry but aren’t. This prevents surprises later.
Next comes water extraction using truck-mounted pumps and specialized equipment. We remove standing water, then tackle moisture trapped in flooring, walls, and furniture. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers run continuously to dry everything thoroughly.
Finally, we clean and sanitize affected areas, treat for mold prevention, and handle any necessary repairs. We document everything for your insurance company and coordinate with other contractors if major reconstruction is needed. You get updates throughout the process so you always know what’s happening and when you can expect completion.

Our water damage restoration covers emergency water removal, structural drying, mold prevention, content cleaning, and reconstruction services. We handle residential and commercial properties throughout Merrick and surrounding Nassau County areas.
Merrick’s proximity to the water means many properties face unique challenges with storm damage and flooding. We’re equipped to handle everything from minor pipe leaks to major flood damage from coastal storms. Our team understands local building codes and works with insurance adjusters familiar with Long Island property values.
We also provide direct insurance billing for most major carriers, which means less paperwork and faster claim processing for you. Our documentation meets insurance requirements, and we work directly with adjusters to ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to without the runaround.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Merrick and can typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time matters with water damage—every hour of delay increases the risk of structural damage and mold growth.
Our trucks are stocked with extraction equipment, moisture meters, and emergency supplies so we can start working immediately. We don’t need to go back to the shop for equipment or wait for supplies to arrive. The faster we start, the less damage you’ll face and the lower your restoration costs will be.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, and storm damage, but coverage varies by policy and cause. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you understand what’s covered.
We document everything thoroughly and provide detailed estimates that meet insurance requirements. Many of our customers are surprised to learn their coverage is better than they expected. We handle the paperwork and communicate directly with adjusters, so you don’t have to become an expert in insurance claims while dealing with property damage.
For policies that don’t cover certain types of water damage, we offer flexible payment options and work with you to prioritize the most critical repairs first.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture removal within 24-48 hours. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure everything is thoroughly dried, not just surface-dry.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected areas and remove any materials that can’t be properly dried, like soaked insulation or severely damaged drywall. Our thermal imaging cameras detect moisture in hidden areas like inside walls or under flooring where mold often starts.
Long Island’s humidity makes mold prevention especially important. We monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process and don’t consider the job complete until everything tests dry with professional-grade equipment.
Most water damage restoration takes 3-7 days for drying and initial cleanup, depending on the extent of damage and materials affected. Minor incidents like a burst pipe might be resolved in 2-3 days, while major flooding can take a week or more.
Reconstruction work adds time depending on what needs to be replaced. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Weather and humidity affect drying times, especially during Long Island’s humid summers.
We work efficiently without cutting corners because rushing the drying process leads to problems later. It’s better to take an extra day to ensure everything is completely dry than to deal with mold issues months down the road.
Yes, we handle water damage restoration for homes, businesses, and commercial properties throughout Merrick. Commercial jobs often require faster turnaround times and coordination with multiple stakeholders, which we’re equipped to manage.
Our team understands the unique challenges of commercial water damage, from protecting inventory and equipment to minimizing business interruption. We can work around your schedule when possible and provide temporary solutions to keep operations running.
Whether it’s a flooded basement in a Merrick home or water damage at a local business, we have the equipment and expertise to handle projects of any size efficiently and professionally.
First, ensure everyone’s safety and turn off electricity to affected areas if it’s safe to do so. Stop the water source if possible—shut off the main water line for burst pipes or contact a plumber for appliance-related leaks.
Remove valuable items from the affected area and take photos for insurance purposes before we arrive. Don’t use regular household fans or equipment for drying, as this can actually spread moisture and make the problem worse.
Call us immediately for emergency response. The sooner professional restoration begins, the less damage you’ll face and the lower your costs will be. We’ll guide you through any additional steps needed while we’re on our way to your property.
