NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You’re not dealing with just a broken pipe. You’re facing potential thousands in water damage, possible mold growth, and the nightmare of coordinating multiple contractors while water spreads through your property.
We handle everything from the initial pipe repair to complete water damage restoration. Our certified technicians arrive fast, stop the water source, extract standing water, and begin the drying process immediately. No waiting around while damage spreads.
Within hours, not days, you’ll see real progress. Your floors start drying, your walls get proper treatment, and you get a clear timeline for when everything returns to normal. Most importantly, you get documentation that helps maximize your insurance coverage instead of fighting for every dollar.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Long Island for years. We understand how Stony Brook’s older infrastructure and harsh winters create unique challenges for property owners.
Our IICRC-certified technicians know the difference between a quick patch job and a lasting repair. We’re licensed and insured in New York State, which means we follow proper protocols that protect both your property and your insurance coverage.
When you call us, you’re getting local expertise that understands Suffolk County building codes, common pipe problems in this area, and how to work efficiently with local insurance adjusters who know our reputation.
First, we locate and stop the water source immediately. Our technicians assess the damage extent using moisture meters and thermal imaging to find water you can’t see. No guessing—we know exactly what we’re dealing with.
Next comes water extraction and structural drying. We remove standing water, set up industrial dehumidifiers, and monitor moisture levels until everything reaches normal readings. This prevents mold growth and structural damage that shows up weeks later.
Finally, we handle repairs and restoration. From replacing damaged drywall to refinishing floors, we coordinate everything so you’re not managing multiple contractors. You get regular updates, clear timelines, and documentation that supports your insurance claim from start to finish.

Your service includes immediate water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, and complete restoration work. We don’t charge extra for emergency response or weekend calls—water damage doesn’t wait for business hours.
In Stony Brook, we see burst pipes most often in older homes with original plumbing and properties where pipes run through unheated areas. Winter freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on copper pipes installed before 1990. Our team knows these patterns and addresses underlying issues, not just symptoms.
We also handle the insurance paperwork. Most homeowners don’t realize that how damage is documented directly affects claim approval. Our detailed photos, moisture readings, and professional reports help you get maximum coverage instead of fighting with adjusters who question every expense.
We typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call, including evenings and weekends. Water damage spreads fast—every hour of delay can mean hundreds or thousands more in damage.
Our emergency response includes immediate water shutoff, damage assessment, and beginning water extraction right away. We don’t schedule appointments for emergencies; we respond immediately because we know how quickly water travels through floors, walls, and into areas you can’t see.
The faster we start, the more of your property we can save and the lower your total restoration costs.
Most homeowner’s policies cover sudden pipe bursts, but coverage depends on the cause and how quickly you respond. Gradual leaks or lack of maintenance typically aren’t covered, but sudden breaks usually are.
The key is proper documentation. Insurance adjusters want to see professional moisture readings, photos of damage extent, and detailed repair estimates. We provide all this documentation as part of our service because we know what adjusters require for claim approval.
We also work directly with insurance companies and can often expedite the claims process. Many of our customers get faster approvals because adjusters trust our professional assessments and repair recommendations.
Mold prevention starts with immediate water extraction and proper structural drying. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to remove moisture from materials within 24-48 hours—before mold can establish.
We monitor moisture levels in walls, floors, and other materials using professional meters. Everything must reach normal moisture content before we consider the drying complete. This isn’t guesswork; we have specific moisture targets for different materials.
If we find materials that can’t be properly dried or already show mold growth, we remove and replace them. It’s better to replace a section of drywall than deal with mold problems months later.
A plumber fixes the pipe; we handle everything the water touched. Most plumbers aren’t equipped for water extraction, structural drying, or property restoration—that’s where we come in.
We coordinate with plumbers when needed, but our focus is removing water, preventing secondary damage, and restoring your property to pre-loss condition. This includes flooring, drywall, insulation, and any other materials affected by water.
Think of it this way: the plumber stops the leak, but we undo the damage it caused. Most burst pipe situations need both services, and we handle the coordination so you’re not managing multiple contractors during an emergency.
Costs vary based on water volume, affected areas, and materials involved. Simple pipe repairs might cost hundreds, while extensive water damage can reach thousands. We provide detailed estimates before starting any work.
Most of our customers pay their insurance deductible and let coverage handle the rest. We work directly with insurance companies to ensure repairs meet their requirements, which often means faster approvals and fewer out-of-pocket expenses for you.
We also offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Emergency response, moisture monitoring, and basic water extraction are included in our base service. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
Finished basements require specialized attention because water often affects electrical systems, insulation, and materials that trap moisture. We handle these complexities regularly in Stony Brook area homes.
Our process includes safe electrical shutoff, removal of damaged materials like carpet and drywall, and thorough drying of structural elements. Basement water damage often involves more demolition and reconstruction than other areas, but we coordinate everything.
We also check for foundation issues that might have contributed to the pipe burst. Sometimes water damage reveals underlying problems that need attention to prevent future issues. Our comprehensive approach addresses both immediate damage and potential long-term concerns.
