NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Your property looks like the flood never happened. That’s what matters when you’re dealing with water everywhere and wondering if your home will ever feel normal again.
We don’t just pump out water and call it finished. You get complete moisture removal from places you can’t even see, professional-grade drying that prevents mold from taking hold, and restoration work that brings everything back to how it was before the damage occurred.
The stress stops here. No more wondering if hidden moisture is going to create bigger problems down the road, no more dealing with insurance paperwork on your own, and no more worrying about whether the job was done right.
Green Island Group has been handling flood emergencies across Suffolk County for years. We understand what Huntington homeowners face when water gets where it shouldn’t be.
Long Island’s geography makes flooding a real threat here. From storm surges off Long Island Sound to basement flooding from our high water table, we’ve seen it all and know exactly how to handle each situation.
Our team responds fast because we know that every hour counts when water is involved. We’ve built our reputation on getting to your property quickly and doing the work right the first time.
First, we stop the source. Whether it’s a burst pipe, storm damage, or appliance failure, we identify and control the water source immediately. No point in cleaning up if more water keeps coming in.
Next comes complete water extraction. We’re not talking about shop vacuums here. Our industrial-grade pumps and extraction equipment remove standing water fast, including water that’s soaked into floors, walls, and other materials you might not think about.
Then we dry everything thoroughly. Using professional dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment, we make sure every trace of moisture is gone. This is where most companies cut corners, but it’s the most important step for preventing mold and structural damage later.

You get complete flood damage restoration, not just basic cleanup. That means water extraction, structural drying, moisture detection, mold prevention, and full property restoration to pre-damage condition.
In Huntington, we deal with specific challenges that come with living on Long Island. Our coastal location means storm surge damage is always a possibility. Our older homes often have aging plumbing systems more prone to failure. And our high water table makes basement flooding a common concern, especially in areas closer to the Sound.
We handle the insurance paperwork and work directly with your carrier. Most of our customers are surprised by how smooth the claims process can be when you have someone who knows how to document everything properly and communicate with adjusters in their language.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Huntington and typically arrive within one hour of your call. Time is critical when dealing with flood damage because water continues to spread and soak into materials every minute.
The sooner we can start extraction and drying, the more of your property we can save. After 24-48 hours, you’re looking at potential mold growth and more extensive structural damage that could have been prevented with immediate action.
Our emergency response team is always on standby, including nights, weekends, and holidays. When you call our emergency line, you’re talking to someone who can dispatch our crew immediately, not an answering service that takes messages.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover water damage from sudden and accidental events like burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm damage through your roof. However, flooding from external sources typically requires separate flood insurance.
We work directly with insurance companies and handle all the documentation and communication with adjusters. This includes detailed moisture mapping, photo documentation of damages, and proper categorization of water damage according to industry standards.
The key is acting quickly. Insurance companies can deny claims if they determine you waited too long to address the damage, considering it neglect. That’s why we recommend calling us immediately when you discover water damage, even before calling your insurance company.
We handle all categories of water damage common to Huntington properties. This includes clean water from burst pipes or appliance leaks, gray water from washing machines or dishwashers, and black water from sewage backups or storm flooding.
Huntington’s location on Long Island Sound means we regularly deal with storm surge damage, especially in waterfront properties. We also handle basement flooding from high water tables, which is common in many Huntington neighborhoods, particularly during heavy rain seasons.
Each type of water damage requires different approaches and safety protocols. Our technicians are trained in IICRC standards and equipped with proper protective equipment to handle contaminated water safely while protecting your family’s health.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture removal within 24-48 hours of the initial water damage. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, high-velocity air movers, and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture that standard equipment might miss.
Our drying process follows strict protocols with daily moisture readings to ensure we’re making progress. We don’t just dry surfaces – we dry the structure itself, including inside wall cavities and under flooring where moisture can hide and create perfect conditions for mold growth.
If materials like drywall or insulation are too saturated to dry properly, we remove them rather than risk mold problems later. It’s better to replace a section of drywall than deal with a mold remediation project that affects your entire home.
First, ensure your safety. If there’s any possibility of electrical hazards, turn off power to the affected area at the circuit breaker. Don’t walk through standing water if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged.
Stop the water source if possible and safe to do so. This might mean shutting off your main water supply or covering a damaged roof area. Then call us immediately for emergency response – don’t wait to see if the situation improves on its own.
Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t start moving belongings or attempting cleanup until professionals assess the situation. Well-meaning cleanup efforts can sometimes make the damage worse or create safety hazards you weren’t aware of.
Emergency water extraction usually begins within hours of our arrival and can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day depending on the amount of water involved. The drying process typically takes 3-5 days with proper equipment and monitoring.
Complete restoration depends on the extent of damage. Minor flooding with quick response might only require drying and minor repairs, taking less than a week. Extensive damage involving flooring replacement, wall repair, or reconstruction can take several weeks.
We provide daily updates on drying progress and realistic timelines for each phase of restoration. Our goal is to get you back in your space as quickly as possible while ensuring everything is properly dried and restored to prevent future problems.
