NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
A burst pipe doesn’t just flood your home—it starts a countdown to mold growth, structural damage, and insurance headaches. You need someone who understands that every minute matters.
When you call Green Island Group, you get technicians who arrive with industrial-grade equipment, not basic shop vacuums. We extract standing water, identify hidden moisture behind walls, and begin the drying process before mold has a chance to take hold.
Your Northport property gets restored to its pre-damage condition. You get your peace of mind back, knowing the job was done right the first time.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Suffolk County for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with Long Island properties—from aging infrastructure in older homes to the high water tables that make basements particularly vulnerable.
Our team knows how to navigate the complexities of Northport’s historic homes where water sources can be difficult to trace. We’ve seen how poorly insulated basements become prime targets for frozen pipes during harsh winters.
That’s why Northport homeowners call us first when disaster strikes. We’re not just another restoration company—we’re your neighbors who understand what you’re dealing with.
First, 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. We locate the source, shut off water flow, and prevent further damage.
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 mold growth that can start within 24-48 hours.
Finally, we restore damaged areas to their original condition. This includes replacing materials that can’t be salvaged, sanitizing affected areas, and ensuring your property is safe for occupancy. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed of our progress.

Your burst pipe repair includes comprehensive water damage restoration that addresses both immediate concerns and long-term effects. We handle everything from emergency water removal to full reconstruction, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors.
In Northport’s coastal climate, we know that Long Island homes face unique water damage risks. Our high water table means basements are particularly susceptible to flooding, and our aging building stock requires specialized knowledge of older plumbing systems and building materials.
We provide direct insurance billing to make the claims process seamless. Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden pipe bursts when basic preventive measures were taken, and we work directly with your carrier to ensure you get the coverage you deserve.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Northport and Suffolk County. Our goal is to arrive within the hour because we know that water damage spreads rapidly—every minute counts when it comes to preventing mold growth and structural damage.
When you call, you’ll speak directly with our dispatch team who can mobilize our technicians immediately. We keep our trucks fully stocked with extraction equipment, moisture meters, and drying equipment so we can start the restoration process as soon as we arrive at your property.
Time is the enemy when dealing with water damage. The sooner we can stop the water flow and begin extraction, the more of your property we can save and the lower your overall restoration costs will be.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from burst pipes, provided you took basic preventive measures like maintaining heat in your home during winter. However, every policy is different, and coverage can depend on the specific cause of the pipe failure.
We work directly with insurance companies and can bill them directly for covered services. Our team documents all damage thoroughly and provides detailed reports that help support your claim. We’ve worked with virtually every major insurance carrier and understand what they need to process claims quickly.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, we can review your policy language and help you understand what’s covered. We also provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what to expect, whether you’re paying out of pocket or through insurance.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and thorough drying within the first 24-48 hours. In Northport’s coastal climate, humidity levels can make mold growth even more aggressive, which is why we use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to create optimal drying conditions.
We don’t just dry the surfaces you can see—we use moisture meters to detect hidden water behind walls, under flooring, and in building materials. Our technicians monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process and won’t consider the job complete until all materials are thoroughly dry.
If we discover materials that are too saturated to salvage, we remove them immediately to prevent contamination. We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected areas and can recommend ongoing humidity control solutions to prevent future mold issues in your Northport home.
Northport’s winter temperatures often drop below freezing, and many of our historic homes have aging plumbing systems that are more vulnerable to freeze damage. Water expands when it freezes, creating pressure that can crack or burst pipes, especially in uninsulated areas like basements, crawl spaces, or exterior walls.
We see the most pipe bursts in homes with poor insulation or those left vacant without adequate heating. Basements are particularly vulnerable because heat doesn’t circulate as well in these areas. Underground sprinkler lines are also common failure points because breaks can go unnoticed for days.
The key is understanding that frozen pipes don’t always burst immediately—sometimes they develop small cracks that become major failures when temperatures fluctuate. That’s why we recommend having any suspected freeze damage inspected immediately, even if you don’t see obvious leaking.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage and the materials affected, but most residential water damage restoration takes 3-7 days from start to finish. Emergency water extraction and initial stabilization happen within hours of our arrival, while complete drying typically takes 2-4 days depending on humidity levels and the amount of water involved.
Reconstruction work, if needed, can add additional time. For example, if drywall or flooring needs replacement, that might add another 1-2 weeks to the timeline. However, we work to get your home livable as quickly as possible, often completing temporary repairs so you can stay in your home during the restoration process.
We provide detailed timelines upfront and update you daily on our progress. Our goal is always to restore your Northport home to pre-damage condition as quickly as possible while ensuring the work is done thoroughly and correctly.
Yes, we handle insurance claims from start to finish to make the process as stress-free as possible for you. We document all damage with detailed photos and moisture readings, provide comprehensive estimates, and communicate directly with your insurance adjuster throughout the restoration process.
Our team is experienced with all major insurance carriers and understands their specific requirements for water damage claims. We can often bill your insurance company directly, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. This is especially helpful during an emergency when you’re already dealing with the stress of water damage.
We also help you understand your coverage and advocate for you if there are any disputes about what should be covered. Our detailed documentation and professional relationships with adjusters help ensure you receive the full coverage you’re entitled to under your policy.
