NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Your basement is dry, your walls are sound, and your home is safe again. No lingering moisture means no mold growth threatening your family’s health down the road.
You get back to your normal routine without the constant worry about hidden water damage eating away at your home’s structure. Your insurance claim gets handled properly, and you’re not stuck with surprise bills months later.
The flood damage that seemed overwhelming becomes a distant memory, replaced by a home that’s actually in better condition than before the water hit.
Green Island Group has been handling flood emergencies across Nassau County for years, including right here in Inwood where we’ve seen everything from water main breaks on Dyckman Street to basement flooding from heavy rains.
We understand how Inwood’s older infrastructure and ground conditions create unique flooding risks. When hydrostatic pressure builds up around your foundation or a pipe bursts in your basement, we know exactly what needs to happen first.
Our team has completed over 5,000 restoration projects in New York State, and we’ve built our reputation on showing up fast and getting the job done right the first time.
We arrive within an hour and immediately assess the damage to understand what we’re dealing with. Our team identifies the water source, stops any ongoing flooding, and maps out the affected areas using moisture detection equipment.
Next comes water extraction using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums to remove standing water from your floors, basement, and any other affected areas. We don’t just get the visible water – we pull moisture from behind walls and under flooring.
Then we set up our drying equipment: commercial dehumidifiers, air movers, and monitoring tools that track moisture levels until everything is completely dry. Finally, we handle repairs and restoration to bring your property back to its pre-flood condition.

Your flood restoration covers everything from emergency water removal to complete reconstruction of damaged areas. You get 24/7 emergency response, advanced moisture detection, and industrial-grade drying equipment.
In Inwood, we see unique challenges like basement flooding from ground saturation and water main breaks that can flood entire streets. Our local experience means we know how to handle contaminated floodwater and the specific building issues common in Nassau County homes.
We also manage your insurance claim from start to finish, providing detailed documentation and working directly with your insurance company. Most of our Inwood customers have little to no out-of-pocket expenses because we handle the insurance process properly.
We typically arrive within one hour of your call, 24 hours a day. When you’re dealing with flood damage, every minute counts because water continues spreading and causing more damage until it’s stopped.
Our rapid response time means we can often prevent secondary damage like mold growth or structural weakening that happens when water sits too long. We keep emergency equipment staged throughout Nassau County specifically so we can reach Inwood properties fast.
The sooner we start extracting water and setting up drying equipment, the less damage your property suffers and the lower your overall restoration costs end up being.
We handle all categories of flood water, from clean water pipe breaks to contaminated floodwater containing sewage or other hazardous materials. Each type requires different safety protocols and cleanup procedures.
Category 1 (clean water) is the easiest to handle, while Category 3 (black water) requires specialized equipment and safety measures because it contains dangerous pathogens. Our technicians are trained in proper safety procedures for all contamination levels.
In Inwood, we often see contaminated floodwater from street flooding or basement backups that require careful handling to protect your family’s health during the cleanup process.
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the flooding. Most homeowner’s insurance covers water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, or roof leaks, but not flooding from external sources like heavy rains.
We work directly with all major insurance companies and handle the claims process for you. This includes providing detailed documentation, photos, and moisture readings that insurance adjusters need to process your claim quickly.
Our experience with insurance claims means we know exactly what documentation to provide and how to present your case to maximize your coverage and minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
Mold prevention starts with complete water extraction and thorough drying within 24-48 hours of the initial flooding. We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to remove all moisture, not just what’s visible on the surface.
Our moisture detection equipment finds hidden water behind walls, under flooring, and in other areas where mold typically starts growing. We monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process to ensure everything reaches safe levels.
If we discover existing mold growth during our assessment, we handle the remediation as part of your restoration project using proper containment and removal procedures to prevent spores from spreading to clean areas.
Inwood’s ground conditions and older infrastructure create unique basement flooding challenges. Heavy rains can oversaturate the ground, creating hydrostatic pressure that forces water through foundation cracks and basement walls.
Many Inwood homes have basements that aren’t easily accessible for equipment, and the water often sits longer before being discovered. This extended exposure increases the risk of structural damage and mold growth.
We’re equipped with specialized basement drying equipment and have experience navigating the tight spaces and access challenges common in Inwood properties. Our local knowledge helps us identify and address the specific issues your property faces.
Most flood restoration projects in Inwood take 3-7 days from start to finish, depending on the extent of damage and the size of the affected area. Emergency water extraction happens immediately, usually within hours of our arrival.
The drying phase typically takes 2-4 days, during which we monitor moisture levels and adjust equipment as needed. Repairs and reconstruction happen after everything is completely dry and can take additional time depending on what needs to be rebuilt.
We provide you with a detailed timeline after our initial assessment so you know exactly what to expect. Throughout the process, we keep you updated on our progress and any changes to the schedule.
