Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Suffolk County for years. We understand what Oak Island homeowners face during brutal winter freezes when pipes burst in homes built in the 1950s.
We’re not some national franchise that treats your emergency like a number. When you call us at 2 AM because water is pouring through your ceiling, you get a real person who knows exactly how to help. Our trucks are strategically positioned across Long Island so we can reach you fast, even during the worst storms.
We’ve earned our reputation by showing up when others won’t and doing the work right the first time.
First, we stop the water flow and assess the damage using advanced moisture detection equipment. This isn’t guesswork – we identify exactly where water has traveled, including moisture hidden behind walls and under floors.
Next, we extract all standing water using powerful industrial pumps and begin structural drying immediately. We set up dehumidifiers and air movers to pull moisture from affected materials before mold can start growing.
Then we repair the burst pipe properly and restore any damaged areas to their original condition. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance company and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to fight with adjusters while dealing with the stress of water damage.
You get updates at every step, so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.

For Oak Island residents, we understand the unique challenges of coastal Suffolk County properties. Many homes here were built in the 1950s with plumbing systems that are more vulnerable to freeze damage. We know which areas of your home are most likely to have problems and how to prevent future issues.

We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call. Our trucks are strategically located across Long Island, including equipment stored in nearby areas, so we can reach Oak Island quickly even during major storms or freeze events.
When you call our emergency line, you talk to a real person who can give you immediate advice to minimize water damage while we’re driving to your location. We understand that burst pipes don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
During severe weather events that affect multiple properties, we’ll keep you updated on our arrival time and help you take steps to limit damage until we arrive.
First, shut off your main water supply immediately to stop more water from flowing. The main shut-off valve is typically located in your basement or near your foundation outside. If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, turn off power to that area to prevent electrical hazards.
Move valuable items away from the flooded area and start basic cleanup to prevent water from spreading to unaffected areas. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling for professional help.
Don’t attempt to repair the pipe yourself or use open flames to thaw frozen pipes, as this creates serious safety risks. Professional restoration needs to start quickly to prevent mold growth, which can begin within 24-48 hours of water damage.
Burst pipe repair costs vary depending on the location of the damage, pipe material, and extent of water damage. Simple repairs in accessible areas typically range from $200-$1,000, while complex repairs involving wall access or extensive water damage can cost several thousand dollars.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover burst pipe damage when basic prevention measures were taken, such as maintaining heat during winter months. We provide upfront pricing and work directly with insurance companies to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.
We offer free estimates and will assess the full scope of damage before beginning work, so you know exactly what to expect. Our goal is to restore your property to pre-damage condition while working within your insurance coverage whenever possible.
Yes, preventing mold growth requires immediate action and thorough drying, which is exactly what we specialize in. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all affected materials are completely dried within the critical 24-48 hour window before mold can establish.
Our process includes removing all standing water, drying structural materials like wood framing and drywall, and monitoring moisture levels until everything returns to normal. We also treat affected areas with antimicrobial solutions when necessary.
The key is acting fast and doing the job thoroughly the first time. DIY cleanup often leaves hidden moisture that leads to mold problems weeks or months later, which is why professional restoration is so important for burst pipe situations.

Our team will photograph the damage, document the source of the water intrusion, and provide itemized estimates for all necessary repairs. We can also communicate directly with your insurance adjuster to explain the scope of work and ensure proper coverage.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from burst pipes, especially when basic maintenance was performed. We’ll help you understand what’s covered and work to maximize your benefits while minimizing your out-of-pocket costs.
Oak Island faces several factors that increase burst pipe risk during winter months. Many homes here were built in the 1950s with older plumbing systems that are more vulnerable to freeze damage. Long Island winter temperatures often drop below 20 degrees, causing water to freeze and expand inside pipes.
Pipes in exterior walls, basements, and crawl spaces are particularly vulnerable because they’re exposed to cold air. When water freezes, it expands with tremendous force that can crack even strong pipe materials like copper or PVC.
The coastal location also means homes face additional moisture and temperature fluctuations that stress plumbing systems. Regular maintenance, proper insulation, and keeping heat on during cold snaps can prevent most freeze-related pipe bursts, but when prevention fails, quick professional response is critical to minimize damage.
