NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk into a completely dry home. No musty smells. No water stains on your walls or ceiling. Your floors are solid again, and your basement doesn’t feel like a swamp.
The mold that could have started growing within 24 hours never gets the chance. Your insurance claim gets handled without you having to fight for coverage. You don’t lose family photos, furniture, or months of your life dealing with contractors who don’t show up.
Instead, you get your home back exactly as it was—sometimes better. You sleep soundly knowing the problem is actually fixed, not just patched up with a quick fix that’ll fail again next winter.
Green Island Group has been fixing water emergencies across Nassau County for years. We understand what makes Massapequa homes vulnerable—the former wetlands your neighborhood sits on, the high water table that makes basements flood, and the aging plumbing systems from the 1950s that freeze every winter.
We’ve restored homes on Ocean Avenue after nor’easters. We’ve dried out basements near Massapequa Lake when pipes burst during vacation. We know which insurance companies try to lowball claims and which adjusters actually understand water damage.
Your neighbors call us because we show up fast, work clean, and don’t disappear once the emergency is over. We’re the team that handles everything from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
First, we shut off your water and stop the flooding. Our certified technicians arrive with industrial-grade equipment—not basic shop vacuums—and immediately assess how far the water has spread.
Next, we extract every drop of standing water and start the drying process. We use moisture meters to find hidden water behind walls and under floors that you can’t see. Our dehumidifiers and air movers run 24/7 until everything is completely dry.
Then we restore your home to its original condition. We replace damaged drywall, flooring, and anything else the water destroyed. Throughout the entire process, we document everything for your insurance company and handle the claim paperwork so you don’t have to fight for coverage.

In Massapequa specifically, we understand the challenges of homes built on former wetlands. We know which areas flood during heavy rains and which basements need extra attention because of the high water table. Our restoration work includes mold prevention strategies that work in Long Island’s humid climate, not generic solutions that fail here.
We guarantee response within one hour for most of Massapequa and Nassau County. Our emergency trucks are strategically located across Long Island, and we answer our phones 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
When your pipe bursts at midnight on Christmas Eve, we’ll still come out and fix it. Most plumbing companies don’t offer true 24/7 service, but burst pipes don’t wait for business hours. The faster we respond, the less damage occurs to your home.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover burst pipe damage as long as you took basic prevention measures like keeping your heat on during winter. If covered, your insurance should pay for all water damage restoration services we provide.
This includes flood cleanup, drying, removal and replacement of damaged materials like drywall and flooring, and restoration of belongings damaged beyond repair. We handle direct billing with insurance companies, so you don’t pay upfront costs during your emergency. We also help document everything properly to ensure your claim gets approved quickly.
Massapequa sits on former wetlands with water tables near the surface, making basements especially prone to flooding. Many homes in older sections have original 1950s plumbing that’s reaching the end of its lifespan and becomes more vulnerable during Long Island’s harsh winters.
When temperatures drop below 20 degrees, pipes freeze and expand, causing them to burst. The area’s proximity to water bodies also means higher humidity levels that can accelerate mold growth if water damage isn’t properly dried within 24-48 hours.
We start the drying process immediately using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers that run 24/7. We use moisture meters to detect hidden water behind walls and under floors that you can’t see but where mold loves to grow.
Long Island’s humid summers make mold prevention critical—mold can start growing within 24-48 hours if moisture isn’t completely eliminated. Our equipment and techniques are specifically chosen for this climate, not generic solutions that work in dry climates but fail here. We don’t just dry what’s visible; we ensure complete moisture removal from all affected materials.
First, shut off your main water supply immediately to stop more water from flooding your home. You can find this valve where water enters your house, usually near the street or in your basement. If you can’t locate the main valve, shut off the water to the specific fixture if possible.
Next, turn off electricity to affected areas if it’s safe to do so, and move valuables away from the water. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes, then call us immediately. Don’t try to fix the pipe yourself or use open flames to thaw frozen pipes—this can cause severe damage and create fire hazards.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most burst pipe restorations take 3-7 days from start to finish. Emergency water extraction happens immediately, usually within hours of our arrival. The drying process typically takes 2-4 days depending on how much water spread and what materials were affected.
Reconstruction and restoration work varies based on what needs to be replaced—drywall, flooring, or structural elements. We work efficiently because we understand you want your life back to normal as quickly as possible. Throughout the process, we keep you updated on progress and work around your schedule when possible.
