NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
When a pipe bursts in your Commack home, you’re not just dealing with water—you’re racing against structural damage, mold growth, and insurance headaches. We get that.
Within an hour of your call, our certified technicians arrive with industrial-grade equipment to stop the water flow and begin extraction. No basic shop vacuums or half-measures.
We handle everything: emergency water removal, structural drying, damage assessment, and complete restoration. Your home gets back to pre-damage condition while we manage your insurance claim from start to finish.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Suffolk County for years. We understand what Commack homeowners face—aging infrastructure from the 1950s and 60s, basements vulnerable to Long Island’s high water table, and the reality that winter temperatures regularly drop below 20 degrees.
Based right here in Commack, we’ve seen it all: frozen pipes in Levittown ranch homes, burst water lines in Cold Spring Harbor estates, and everything in between. Our team knows which neighborhoods get hit hardest and why.
When your neighbor had that pipe burst last winter, we were probably the ones who fixed it. Local knowledge matters when minutes count.
First, we shut off your water supply and assess the damage scope. Our technicians use advanced moisture detection equipment to find water you can’t see—behind walls, under floors, in ceiling cavities.
Next comes immediate water extraction using powerful pumps and vacuums. We’re removing standing water while setting up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to start the drying process. This isn’t just about visible water—we’re preventing the mold growth that starts within 24-48 hours.
Finally, we restore damaged areas to original condition. Drywall replacement, flooring repair, structural fixes—whatever it takes. Throughout the entire process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed every step of the way.

Your burst pipe repair includes complete water damage restoration—not just fixing the pipe itself. We handle emergency water removal, structural drying, mold prevention, insurance documentation, and full property restoration.
In Commack specifically, we see a lot of issues with older homes where pipes run through unheated basements or crawl spaces. The high water table here means basement flooding is always a concern when pipes fail. We address both the immediate pipe repair and the water infiltration issues unique to Long Island geography.
We also coordinate with your insurance company directly. Most homeowner policies cover sudden pipe bursts, and we know exactly how to document everything for the fastest claim processing. You shouldn’t have to fight with adjusters while your home sits damaged.
We guarantee response within one hour for emergency calls in Commack and central Suffolk County. Our trucks are strategically positioned across Long Island with all necessary equipment already loaded.
During major freeze events or storms, response times might extend to 90 minutes, but we’ll call to update you and provide guidance for minimizing damage while you wait. The key is stopping water flow immediately—we’ll walk you through finding your main shutoff if needed.
Time matters because severe water damage can occur within 48 hours, and mold growth can begin in 24-48 hours. Every minute counts when water is actively flowing into your home.
Most homeowner insurance policies cover water damage from sudden pipe bursts, especially if you took reasonable preventive measures like keeping heat on during winter. The average claim for water damage runs around $12,500, so coverage matters.
We handle insurance documentation and can bill your insurance company directly in most cases. This eliminates the hassle of paying upfront and waiting for reimbursement. Our team knows exactly what adjusters need to see for fast claim approval.
The key is proving the pipe burst was sudden and accidental, not due to neglect. If you maintained heat during freezing weather and the pipe still burst, you’re typically covered for both the pipe repair and resulting water damage.
Long Island’s combination of factors creates perfect conditions for pipe failures. Winter temperatures regularly drop below 20 degrees, which is when pipes start freezing. Many Commack homes were built in the 1950s and 60s with plumbing that’s reaching end-of-life.
The high water table here means basements stay naturally moist, and pipes in these areas are more susceptible to corrosion and freeze damage. Older neighborhoods like parts of Levittown and Massapequa see frequent pipe bursts because of original plumbing systems.
Add in Long Island’s hard water with high mineral content, and you get accelerated pipe corrosion from the inside. These factors combine to make burst pipes one of the most common winter emergencies we handle in Suffolk County.
Mold prevention starts within the first 24 hours—that’s our window to get ahead of it. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture from all affected materials, not just visible surfaces.
Our moisture meters detect water behind walls and under floors where mold typically starts growing first. We remove any materials that can’t be properly dried, like soaked insulation or drywall that’s been saturated for more than 48 hours.
The key is thorough drying, not just surface cleaning. Mold needs moisture to grow, so we eliminate that moisture completely. We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected areas as an additional safeguard. Most insurance policies cover mold remediation if it results from a covered water damage event like a burst pipe.
The total cost depends on the pipe location, water volume, and damage extent. Simple pipe repairs might run a few hundred dollars, but water damage restoration typically ranges from $1,400 to $6,350 according to industry data.
Major burst pipe incidents with extensive flooding can reach $12,000 or more—especially if the water ran for hours before discovery. Basement floods in Commack homes often hit the higher end because of the amount of water involved and potential structural issues.
Most homeowners insurance covers both the pipe repair and resulting water damage when it’s sudden and accidental. We provide detailed estimates and work directly with your insurance company to minimize your out-of-pocket costs. The key is acting fast to prevent additional damage that drives costs higher.
Yes—we’re a complete solution for burst pipe emergencies. Our team handles the pipe repair, water extraction, structural drying, damage assessment, and full property restoration. You don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors.
This integrated approach saves time and reduces confusion during an already stressful situation. We handle everything from shutting off your water supply to the final coat of paint on restored walls. One company, one point of contact, one insurance claim.
We also coordinate any additional trades needed—electricians if water reached electrical systems, HVAC technicians if ductwork was affected, flooring specialists for major replacements. But most burst pipe situations can be handled entirely by our restoration team without bringing in outside contractors.
