NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You won’t spend weeks dealing with insurance paperwork, multiple contractors, or wondering if hidden moisture will cause mold problems later. We handle everything from water extraction to final restoration.
Your property gets back to normal without the headaches. We work directly with your insurance company, use industrial-grade equipment that actually works in Long Island’s humid climate, and restore your space properly the first time. Many of our Westbury clients pay nothing out-of-pocket.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Nassau County for years. We understand how quickly damage spreads in our humid climate and why Westbury properties face unique flooding challenges.
Your neighbors in areas like Old Westbury and surrounding Nassau County communities trust us because we respond fast, work smart, and get the job done right. We’re not some national chain learning your area on the fly – we live here, work here, and know exactly what Long Island water damage looks like.
We start by finding all the water – not just what you can see. Using moisture meters and thermal imaging, we map every affected area, including hidden moisture that causes problems later.
Next comes immediate water removal with powerful extraction equipment, followed by strategic drying using commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels daily, adjusting equipment until your property meets proper dryness standards.
Once everything’s properly dried, we sanitize affected areas and complete necessary repairs. Throughout the process, we document everything for insurance and keep you informed so you know exactly what’s happening.

Your water damage cleanup includes emergency water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, mold prevention, and complete restoration. We handle burst pipes, appliance floods, storm damage, and sewage backups.
Westbury properties deal with specific challenges other areas don’t face. Nassau County’s high water table means basements flood more easily. Our coastal location brings saltwater storm surge that corrodes differently than freshwater. Many of our older neighborhoods have drainage systems that can’t handle today’s intense rainfall.
We’re equipped for these local realities with specialized equipment that works in humid conditions and techniques that address saltwater damage properly. When other companies guess, we know exactly what works in Nassau County.
We typically arrive within an hour of your call, 24/7 throughout Nassau County. Speed matters because water damage gets exponentially worse every hour you wait – mold can start growing within 24-48 hours in our humid climate.
Our emergency response trucks carry industrial water extraction pumps, moisture detection equipment, and initial drying tools. This means we start removing water and preventing further damage the moment we arrive, not after we go get equipment.
The difference between calling us immediately versus waiting until morning can literally save you thousands in additional damage costs.
Most policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, or covered storm events, though every policy is different. The key is proper documentation and working with someone who knows how insurance companies operate.
We handle your entire insurance claim – from initial reporting through final approval. Our team photographs all damage, provides detailed moisture readings, and communicates directly with your adjuster using the language they understand.
Most of our Westbury clients end up paying nothing out-of-pocket because we work within insurance guidelines and bill directly. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what insurance companies approve and what they don’t.
Real mold prevention requires understanding Long Island’s climate. Surface drying doesn’t work here – you need industrial dehumidification that pulls moisture from inside walls, subfloors, and other hidden areas where mold loves to grow.
We use commercial-grade dehumidifiers designed for humid climates, not the small units you rent at hardware stores. Our technicians monitor moisture levels in building materials daily with calibrated meters, adjusting equipment until readings confirm complete drying.
We also apply EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to affected areas when needed. The goal isn’t just removing visible water – it’s creating an environment where mold can’t establish itself.
We handle everything from clean water damage (burst pipes, appliance leaks) to contaminated water situations (sewage backups, storm flooding). Each category requires different safety protocols and restoration approaches.
In Westbury specifically, we see a lot of basement flooding from heavy rains, coastal storm surge damage, and problems related to Nassau County’s naturally high water table. We’re also experienced with saltwater damage, which needs specialized treatment to prevent ongoing corrosion and moisture issues.
The contaminated water situations require hazmat protocols, specialized cleaning agents, and sometimes complete material removal. Clean water damage can often be dried and restored if we get there quickly enough.
Drying typically takes 3-7 days depending on how much water, what materials got wet, and current weather conditions. Nassau County’s humidity can extend drying times, which is why we use commercial equipment instead of hoping for the best.
Reconstruction time depends on what needs to be rebuilt. Simple drywall replacement might add 2-3 days. Major reconstruction projects can take weeks. We give you realistic timelines upfront based on what we actually see, not generic estimates.
The key is proper drying first. Rushing this phase to start reconstruction faster just leads to mold problems later. We’d rather take the time to do it right than have you calling us back in six months with bigger issues.
Yes, we work with all major insurance carriers and most regional companies serving Nassau County. We handle the entire claims process so you don’t have to become an insurance expert during an emergency.
This means we file initial claims, provide detailed damage documentation with photos and moisture readings, communicate directly with adjusters, and ensure all work meets insurance standards. We speak their language and know what documentation they need.
Our goal is getting you maximum coverage with minimum hassle. We’ve been doing insurance work long enough to know what gets approved quickly and what creates delays. Most clients are surprised how smooth the process actually is when someone experienced handles it.
