You wake up to water spreading across your floors. Your first thought isn’t about the pipe—it’s about everything that water is destroying right now.
That’s exactly why we exist. When you call Green Island Group, you get technicians who arrive with industrial-grade equipment, not shop vacuums. We stop the water source, extract standing water, and start the drying process before mold takes hold.
Your home gets restored to its pre-damage condition. You get your peace of mind back, knowing the job was done right the first time.
We’ve completed over 5,000 restoration projects across New York State. We understand what Farmingdale homeowners face—aging infrastructure in older homes, high water tables that make basements vulnerable, and the unique challenges that come with Nassau County properties.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in certified technicians, industrial-grade equipment, and a process that prevents future problems. When other companies cut corners, we follow NYS, NYC, and EPA regulations to ensure your safety and proper restoration.
Our team knows Farmingdale’s neighborhoods, from the village center to South Farmingdale. We’ve helped families recover from burst pipes, flooding, and water emergencies throughout Nassau County.
First, we arrive fast—usually within an hour. Our technicians immediately locate and stop the water source, whether it’s a burst pipe behind a wall or a failed connection under your sink.
Next, we assess the damage using advanced moisture detection equipment. We don’t just look at what you can see—we check behind walls and under floors for hidden water that causes mold growth within 24-48 hours.
Then we extract all standing water and set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. This isn’t about removing visible water—it’s about eliminating moisture from affected materials to prevent the secondary damage that costs thousands more.
Finally, we restore damaged areas to their original condition. This includes replacing materials that can’t be salvaged, sanitizing affected areas, and ensuring your property is safe for occupancy. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed of our progress.

Your service includes immediate water source shutoff, complete water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, and full restoration. We handle everything from emergency water removal to final repairs.
Farmingdale’s older homes, many built before 1960, present unique challenges. The aging plumbing systems are more prone to failure, and the village’s location in Nassau County means higher water tables that make basements particularly susceptible to water damage.
We understand these local factors. Our team has worked throughout the Greater Farmingdale area, including South Farmingdale and East Farmingdale, dealing with everything from frozen pipe bursts during harsh winters to storm-related flooding that affects Nassau County regularly.
We also handle insurance claims directly. Most Farmingdale homeowners don’t realize that standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage, but burst pipe damage is typically covered. We work with your insurance company, provide detailed documentation, and can often bill them directly so you don’t pay upfront costs.
We typically arrive within one hour of your call, 24/7. When pipes burst, every minute matters because water spreads fast and mold can start growing within 24-48 hours.
Our emergency response team is always ready with industrial-grade equipment in our vehicles. We don’t waste time gathering supplies—we arrive prepared to immediately stop the water source, start extraction, and begin the drying process. The faster we respond, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from burst pipes, but flood damage is typically excluded. We work directly with insurance companies and can often bill them directly.
We document everything thoroughly, take photos, and provide detailed reports that insurance adjusters need. Our team understands what insurance companies require and how to present your claim for the best outcome. Many of our Farmingdale clients are surprised by how smoothly the insurance process goes when handled properly.
Water damage restoration involves much more than removing visible water. It requires specialized equipment to detect hidden moisture, industrial-grade dehumidifiers to dry structural materials, and antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth.
Simply mopping up water leaves moisture trapped in walls, under floors, and in other hidden areas. This moisture creates perfect conditions for mold growth and can weaken your home’s structure over time. Professional restoration ensures all moisture is eliminated and affected areas are properly dried and sanitized.
Mold prevention starts with immediate action and proper drying techniques. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all affected materials are completely dried within 24-48 hours.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces and monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process. Our equipment is much more powerful than consumer-grade fans or dehumidifiers. We don’t just dry surfaces—we eliminate moisture from inside walls, subfloors, and other structural materials where mold typically starts growing.
First, shut off your main water supply immediately—usually located near your water meter or where the main line enters your home. Then call us right away at our emergency number.
Don’t try to fix the pipe yourself or use regular household equipment to remove water. Move valuable items to dry areas if possible, but don’t enter areas with standing water if there’s any electrical danger. Take photos for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling professionals. The longer water sits, the more damage occurs.
Many Farmingdale homes were built before 1960 with aging plumbing systems that are more prone to failure. Older pipes develop corrosion, joints weaken over time, and materials like galvanized steel eventually deteriorate.
Nassau County’s high water table and freeze-thaw cycles also stress older plumbing systems. When water freezes in pipes during winter, it expands and creates pressure that can crack or burst weakened pipes. Newer homes have better insulation and more durable pipe materials, but older homes require more vigilant maintenance and faster response when problems occur.
