NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
When your pipe bursts at 2 AM on a Tuesday, you need more than a plumber—you need a team that understands what you’re really facing. The water pooling in your basement isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a race against time before mold takes hold, before your foundation shifts, before what started as a $500 repair becomes a $25,000 nightmare.
That’s exactly what we prevent. Our certified technicians arrive with industrial-grade equipment that extracts every drop, dries every surface, and documents every detail for your insurance claim.
You get your life back. Your home gets restored to better than it was before. And you get the peace of mind that comes from knowing the job was done right the first time.
Green Island Group has been Nassau County’s go-to water damage restoration company for years. We understand what makes Lynbrook homes unique—the aging infrastructure in those beautiful pre-1940s houses, the way Long Island winters test every pipe, the urgency that comes with coastal humidity and mold risks.
We’re not just another restoration company. We’re your neighbors who happen to be really good at fixing water damage emergencies. Our team knows Lynbrook’s streets, understands local building codes, and works directly with your insurance company so you don’t have to.
When water damage strikes your Merrick Road home or your house near Greis Park, you’re calling a team that’s been there, fixed that, and helped hundreds of Lynbrook families get their lives back on track.
First, we stop the water. Our emergency response team arrives within an hour, shuts off your main line, and contains the damage before it spreads. No more water means no more damage—simple as that.
Next, we extract and assess. Industrial pumps remove standing water while our technicians use thermal imaging to find moisture hiding behind walls, under floors, in places you’d never think to check. We’re not just cleaning up what you can see.
Then we dry and restore. High-powered dehumidifiers and air movers work around the clock to eliminate every trace of moisture. We replace damaged materials, sanitize affected areas, and make sure your home is safe for your family.
Throughout the entire process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed every step of the way. You know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and why it matters.

Your burst pipe repair comes with complete water damage restoration—not as an add-on, but as part of getting the job done right. We handle emergency water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, content restoration, and full reconstruction if needed.
In Lynbrook’s older homes, we often find that a simple pipe burst reveals bigger issues—outdated plumbing, inadequate insulation, or drainage problems that have been brewing for years. We address these underlying causes so you don’t face the same emergency six months from now.
Our service includes direct insurance billing, which means less paperwork and faster claim processing for you. We work with all major carriers and understand exactly what documentation they need. Most Lynbrook homeowners find their burst pipe repairs are fully covered when proper preventive measures were in place.
We guarantee response within one hour for burst pipe emergencies in Lynbrook and throughout Nassau County. Our trucks are strategically positioned across Long Island, and we maintain 24/7 availability—even during major storms or freeze events.
When you call, you speak directly with our emergency dispatch team, not an answering service. We’ll walk you through immediate steps to minimize damage while our technicians are en route. During extreme weather events like the brutal February freeze that hit dozens of Nassau County homes last winter, response times might extend to 90 minutes, but we’ll keep you updated and help you protect your property while you wait.
Time matters with burst pipes. A 1/8-inch crack can release 250 gallons of water daily, and mold can start growing within 24-48 hours. That’s why we’ve built our entire operation around fast response—because every minute counts when water is pouring into your home.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover burst pipe damage when basic preventive measures were taken, such as maintaining heat during winter months. The key is demonstrating that the burst wasn’t due to neglect or lack of maintenance.
We handle insurance coordination from start to finish, including direct billing so you don’t pay out-of-pocket and wait for reimbursement. Our team documents everything with photos, moisture readings, and detailed reports that insurance adjusters need for quick claim approval. We work with all major carriers and understand their specific requirements.
Last year, State Farm alone paid over $806 million for frozen pipe claims averaging $25,000 each. The difference between a covered claim and a denied one often comes down to proper documentation and professional restoration. That’s exactly what we provide—the expertise to make sure your claim gets approved and processed quickly.
Lynbrook’s housing stock creates the perfect storm for burst pipes. With 45% of homes built before 1940, you’re dealing with aging plumbing systems that were never designed for modern water pressure or Long Island’s harsh winters.
These older homes often have galvanized steel or early copper pipes that corrode from the inside due to Long Island’s high mineral content water. The rust weakens pipe walls until they finally give way under normal pressure. Add in poor insulation in basements and crawl spaces, and you have pipes that freeze and burst when temperatures drop below 20 degrees.
Many Lynbrook homes also have pipes running through unheated areas—under porches, in exterior walls, or in poorly insulated basements. When bitter cold hits and homeowners are away or have thermostats set too low, these vulnerable pipes freeze, expand, and crack. The damage often goes unnoticed until water starts pooling in living areas or basements.
Mold prevention starts within the first 24 hours after water damage occurs. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, high-velocity air movers, and thermal imaging to eliminate moisture from every affected surface—including areas you can’t see behind walls and under flooring.
Our process involves continuous moisture monitoring with professional-grade meters that detect humidity levels in building materials, not just the air. We don’t consider a space dry until moisture readings match unaffected areas of your home. This scientific approach prevents the hidden moisture pockets where mold thrives.
We also remove and replace materials that can’t be properly dried, such as saturated insulation, drywall, or flooring. Trying to save these materials often leads to mold problems months later. During humid Long Island summers, this prevention becomes even more critical as warm, moist conditions accelerate mold growth in any remaining damp areas.
First, shut off your main water supply immediately—this stops additional water from flowing through the burst pipe. The main shutoff is typically located near your water meter or where the main line enters your house. Every family member should know this location.
Next, turn on all faucets to drain remaining water from your plumbing system. This prevents more water from pouring out of the damaged pipe. Take photos of all damage for insurance purposes, but don’t waste time on extensive documentation—stopping the damage is priority one.
Call us immediately at 631-256-5711, even if it’s 3 AM. Don’t attempt repairs yourself unless it’s a tiny pinhole leak you can temporarily patch. Major bursts need professional equipment and expertise. While you wait for our team, move valuables away from affected areas and start removing standing water if it’s safe to do so. Avoid using regular household fans or dehumidifiers—they’re not powerful enough for this situation.
Burst pipe repair costs vary significantly based on location, extent of damage, and how quickly you respond. A simple pipe replacement might run $300-800, but the real expense comes from water damage restoration, which averages $25,000 according to recent insurance data.
The good news is that most homeowners insurance policies cover both the pipe repair and resulting water damage when proper preventive measures were maintained. We provide detailed estimates and work directly with your insurance company to ensure maximum coverage. Our direct billing means you typically pay only your deductible.
Early response dramatically reduces costs. A burst pipe caught within hours might require minor drywall replacement and professional drying. The same pipe left unaddressed for days could mean foundation repairs, structural work, and complete room reconstruction. That’s why we emphasize immediate professional response—it’s not just about fixing the pipe, it’s about preventing the massive secondary damage that drives costs through the roof.
