NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
When your pipe bursts at 2 AM during a February freeze, you’re not thinking about insurance claims or restoration timelines. You’re thinking about stopping the water before it destroys everything you’ve worked for.
That’s exactly what we do. We show up fast, stop the damage in its tracks, and get your property back to normal while handling all the insurance headaches for you.
No more sleepless nights wondering if mold will grow behind your walls. No more arguing with insurance adjusters about coverage. Just professional restoration that brings your home or business back to life, often better than it was before.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Suffolk County for years. We understand what makes Long Island properties unique – from the aging galvanized pipes in pre-1970 homes to the high water tables that make basements particularly vulnerable during storms.
We’re not some national chain that sends different technicians every time. We’re your neighbors in Brentwood Plaza, and we’ve seen it all: frozen pipes in Levittown ranch homes, burst water mains in Massapequa, and complex plumbing failures in waterfront properties.
When Long Island homeowners need burst pipe repair that actually works, they call us because we’ve proven ourselves in this demanding market.
First, we respond immediately to your call. Our technicians arrive with advanced moisture detection equipment to assess not just what you can see, but what’s hidden behind walls and under floors.
Next, we remove standing water using powerful extraction equipment and begin structural drying. We set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture from affected materials. This isn’t just about removing visible water – it’s about preventing the mold growth that can start within 24-48 hours.
Finally, we restore damaged areas to their original condition. We handle the insurance paperwork, provide detailed documentation of damages, and work directly with your insurance company. Our goal is to remove the stress from your situation while ensuring your property is restored properly and safely.

Our burst pipe repair service covers everything from emergency water removal to full reconstruction. You get 24/7 emergency response, advanced moisture detection using thermal imaging, and industrial-grade drying equipment that most companies don’t have access to.
In Brentwood Plaza, we see water damage from burst pipes in older buildings, basement flooding due to our high water table, and pipe failures from Long Island’s harsh winter freezes. Each situation requires different approaches, which is why our technicians are trained in the latest IICRC standards and equipped with specialized tools.
We provide complete documentation for insurance claims, handle direct billing in most cases, and ensure your property meets all safety standards before we consider the job complete. Most homeowner’s and commercial insurance policies cover sudden pipe bursts, and we work with all major insurance companies to make the process seamless for you.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Brentwood Plaza and Suffolk County, typically arriving within one hour of your call. Time is critical in burst pipe situations because mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours, and structural damage worsens the longer water remains.
Our rapid response team comes equipped with professional-grade water extraction equipment and moisture detection tools. We immediately begin the mitigation process to prevent further damage and start the drying process. This quick action often means the difference between a manageable restoration and a major reconstruction project.
Most homeowner’s and commercial insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm damage. However, coverage varies depending on the cause of the damage and your specific policy terms.
We work with all major insurance companies and handle direct billing in most cases, so you don’t need to pay upfront costs. Our team documents all damage thoroughly and provides detailed reports that insurance companies require. We’ve successfully processed thousands of burst pipe claims in Suffolk County and know exactly what documentation insurers need for quick approval.
Long Island winter temperatures often dip below freezing, and when water freezes inside pipes, it expands, building pressure that cracks or bursts pipes. This is especially common in uninsulated areas like basements, attics, crawl spaces, or along exterior walls.
Many Long Island homes were built decades ago, meaning older copper, galvanized steel, or PVC pipes become more vulnerable to corrosion and bursting. Pipes can freeze and burst in just 4-5 hours when temperatures drop to 20°F or below without adequate heating. The average burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water in minutes, causing extensive damage to walls, ceilings, floors, and belongings.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but we typically complete emergency water extraction and initial drying within 24-48 hours. Simple pipe repairs might take a few hours, while extensive water damage restoration can take several days to weeks depending on the affected area size and materials involved.
Our process includes immediate water removal, structural drying (which typically takes 3-5 days), and then reconstruction of damaged areas. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to ensure complete moisture removal before beginning repairs. Throughout the process, we provide regular updates and work efficiently to get you back to normal as quickly as possible while ensuring quality results.
Yes, preventing mold growth is a critical part of our burst pipe restoration process. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in moist conditions, which is why immediate professional response is essential.
We use advanced moisture detection equipment to identify all affected areas, including hidden moisture behind walls and under floors. Our industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers eliminate moisture from affected materials completely. We also apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold and bacteria growth, and use specialized equipment to monitor moisture levels until they return to normal ranges. This comprehensive approach ensures your property is not only dry but safe for your family or employees.
First, shut off your main water valve immediately to stop water flow – this is the most important step to minimize damage. The main shutoff is typically located near your water meter or where the main line enters your home.
Next, call us immediately at 631-613-8945 for emergency service. While waiting for our team, move valuable items away from the water if it’s safe to do so, and take photos for insurance documentation. Don’t attempt to fix the pipe yourself or use electrical appliances near standing water. Our emergency team will handle everything else, including water extraction, damage assessment, and beginning the restoration process to prevent further damage and mold growth.
