NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
A burst pipe doesn’t just flood your floors. It seeps into walls, weakens structures, and creates the perfect breeding ground for mold that can make your family sick.
When you call Green Island Group, you get technicians who arrive with industrial-grade water extraction equipment—not basic shop vacuums. We identify hidden moisture using thermal imaging, extract every drop of standing water, and start the drying process before mold has a chance to take 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 and your family’s health is protected.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Long Island for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with Jericho properties—from aging infrastructure in older homes to the high water table that makes basements particularly vulnerable to flooding.
Most Jericho homes were built decades ago, when plumbing standards were different. We see the same issues repeatedly: frozen pipes in poorly insulated basements, corroded supply lines, and outdated systems that fail without warning.
Our team knows how to navigate these complexities quickly. We work with all major insurance companies and handle direct billing, so you don’t have to worry about upfront costs while dealing with an emergency.
First, we shut off your water supply to stop additional flooding. This might seem obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people panic and forget this crucial step.
Next, our technicians assess the damage using moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras. We’re looking for water that’s traveled behind walls, under flooring, or into spaces you can’t see. Hidden moisture is what causes the real problems later.
Then we extract all standing water with powerful pumps and start the drying process immediately. We position industrial dehumidifiers and air movers strategically throughout the affected areas. This isn’t guesswork—we monitor moisture levels daily and adjust equipment until everything reaches normal levels.
Finally, we repair the burst pipe properly and restore any damaged materials. If drywall needs replacing or flooring needs refinishing, we handle that too. You get one company managing the entire process from start to finish.

Our burst pipe repair service covers everything you need to get back to normal. We handle the plumbing repair, water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, and reconstruction if needed.
In Jericho, we see burst pipes most often in basements during winter months. The combination of older homes, inadequate insulation, and our area’s temperature fluctuations creates perfect conditions for frozen pipes. When pipes freeze and burst, the damage spreads quickly because basements aren’t checked daily.
We also handle the insurance documentation that most companies skip. Our technicians photograph everything, measure moisture levels, and provide detailed reports that insurance adjusters actually accept. This saves you weeks of back-and-forth with your insurance company and gets your claim approved faster.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Jericho and typically arrive within one hour of your call. When pipes burst, every minute counts—water spreads rapidly and causes exponentially more damage the longer it sits.
Our emergency response team is always on standby, not just during business hours. We understand that burst pipes don’t wait for convenient times, especially during Jericho’s harsh winter months when frozen pipes are most common.
The faster we can stop the water source and begin extraction, the better chance we have of preventing secondary damage like mold growth and structural weakening.
Jericho’s older housing stock combined with our climate creates perfect conditions for burst pipes. Most homes in the area were built when insulation standards were lower, leaving pipes vulnerable to freezing in basements and crawl spaces.
The high water table in our area also means basement pipes are more susceptible to pressure changes and corrosion over time. When you add temperature fluctuations during winter months, pipes expand and contract repeatedly until they develop weak spots.
Aging infrastructure is another major factor. Many Jericho homes still have original plumbing from decades ago, and these older systems simply weren’t designed to handle today’s water pressure and usage patterns.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from burst pipes, but coverage varies significantly between policies and circumstances. The key word is “sudden”—gradual leaks or maintenance issues typically aren’t covered.
We work directly with insurance companies and handle all the documentation needed for your claim. Our technicians photograph damage, document moisture readings, and provide detailed reports that adjusters require for approval.
We also offer direct billing for covered services, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. This removes the financial stress while you’re dealing with the emergency and lets you focus on getting your home back to normal.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and proper drying techniques. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to remove moisture from the air and materials within 24-48 hours—before mold has time to establish colonies.
Our technicians monitor moisture levels in walls, flooring, and other materials using specialized meters. We don’t stop the drying process until everything reaches normal moisture content, which varies by material type and environmental conditions.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces when appropriate. This creates an additional barrier against mold growth during the drying process and gives you extra protection in case any moisture was missed.
A plumber fixes the broken pipe, but that’s only the beginning of burst pipe repair. Water damage restoration involves extracting all the water, drying affected materials, preventing mold growth, and repairing or replacing damaged structures.
Most plumbers don’t have the specialized equipment needed for proper water extraction and drying. They also don’t typically handle insurance documentation or coordinate with adjusters, which can leave you dealing with claim issues on your own.
We provide comprehensive service that includes the plumbing repair plus all the restoration work needed to bring your property back to pre-damage condition. This means one company, one contact, and one coordinated approach to getting your life back to normal.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most burst pipe repairs and water restoration projects in Jericho take 3-7 days for the drying phase, plus additional time for any reconstruction needed.
We can usually stop the water source and begin extraction within hours of your call. The drying process takes longer because we monitor moisture levels daily and don’t remove equipment until everything reaches normal levels—rushing this step leads to mold problems later.
If reconstruction is needed, we coordinate that work to begin as soon as the drying phase is complete. Having one company handle both the restoration and reconstruction eliminates delays and ensures consistent quality throughout the entire process.
