NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
When flooding hits your Merrick home, you’re not just dealing with standing water. You’re facing potential mold growth within 24 hours, structural damage that worsens by the day, and insurance companies that demand specific documentation.
Professional flood restoration means your basement actually stays dry long-term because we extract moisture from places you can’t reach—inside walls, under flooring, within insulation. Your insurance claim gets approved faster because we know exactly what adjusters need to see.
Most importantly, you sleep better knowing the job was done right. No hidden moisture breeding mold. No structural damage developing months later. No surprise repair bills because corners were cut during cleanup.
Green Island Group has handled water emergencies across Long Island for years, and we know what makes Merrick properties challenging. Your high water table means basements flood differently here. Coastal proximity brings storm surge risks inland areas never face.
We’re NYS Licensed Mold Remediation Contractors who understand exactly how Long Island water damage behaves and what it takes to fix it permanently. Not just surface cleanup that looks good for a few weeks.
When Merrick residents need flood restoration that actually works long-term, they call us. We handle direct billing with all major insurance companies, so you’re not paying thousands upfront while dealing with a water emergency.
We arrive within one hour to stop the water source and assess the real damage—not just what you can see. Our technicians use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find water hiding behind walls, under floors, inside insulation.
Next comes complete water extraction using industrial equipment, not shop vacuums. We position commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers strategically throughout affected areas. Every day, we monitor moisture levels and adjust equipment until your property reaches completely dry standards.
Finally, we restore damaged areas to original condition while documenting everything for your insurance company. You get regular updates without having to manage adjusters, contractors, and paperwork yourself.

Flood restoration in Merrick, NY requires understanding our unique Long Island challenges. Properties here deal with high groundwater that seeps through foundations, coastal flooding from storm surges, and aging infrastructure in older neighborhoods.
Our service covers emergency water extraction, complete structural drying, mold prevention, and full restoration of damaged spaces. We handle everything from burst pipes in vintage homes to basement flooding from Nassau County’s increasingly severe weather patterns.
Over 300,000 Nassau County residents live in flood zones, and we’ve developed specific expertise for the water damage issues that affect Merrick most. Whether it’s recurring basement moisture from our water table or storm damage from coastal weather, we address root causes instead of just symptoms.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within one hour of your call. Speed matters because mold starts growing within 24-48 hours, and structural damage accelerates the longer water sits.

Merrick’s Long Island location creates specific water damage challenges. Our high water table means basements flood through foundation seepage, not just obvious leaks. Water can appear in basements even without visible pipe breaks.
Coastal proximity means storm surge risks and potential salt water exposure during severe weather, requiring different treatment than standard fresh water damage. Many Merrick homes have older infrastructure more prone to sudden failures.
These local factors require restoration professionals who understand Long Island water behavior, not generic techniques that miss crucial regional issues.
