NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You get your property back to normal condition faster when professionals handle the restoration from start to finish. We extract standing water immediately, identify moisture hiding behind walls and under floors, then dry everything thoroughly using industrial equipment most companies don’t have.
This prevents the mold growth that starts within 24-48 hours and stops structural damage from getting worse. Your insurance claim gets handled properly with documentation that actually gets approved, and you don’t pay upfront costs while dealing with an emergency.
The difference is having your space restored correctly the first time instead of dealing with recurring problems months later.
Green Island Group has handled water emergencies across New York City for over a decade. We understand the unique challenges NYC properties face—aging infrastructure in older buildings, high water tables that make basements vulnerable, and apartment buildings where water sources can be difficult to trace.
Our team knows how to navigate insurance requirements and building regulations that other companies struggle with. We’re a certified minority and woman-owned business with over 5,000 completed projects, maintaining the licenses and certifications required to work safely in New York State.
When New Yorkers need flood restoration that actually works, they choose us because we’ve proven ourselves in this demanding market.
Our technicians arrive with advanced moisture detection equipment to assess not just visible damage, but what’s hidden behind walls and under floors. We remove standing water using powerful extraction equipment and begin structural drying immediately.
Next, we set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture from affected materials. This isn’t just about removing visible water—it’s about preventing mold growth that can start within 24-48 hours.
Finally, we restore damaged areas to their original condition. This includes replacing materials that can’t be salvaged, sanitizing affected areas, and ensuring your property is safe for occupancy. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed of our progress.

Our flood restoration covers everything from emergency water removal to full reconstruction. You get 24/7 emergency response, advanced moisture detection using thermal imaging, and industrial-grade drying equipment that most companies don’t have access to.
In New York City, we see flood damage from burst pipes in older buildings, coastal flooding from storms, and basement flooding due to our high water table. Each situation requires different approaches, which is why our technicians are trained in the latest IICRC standards and equipped with specialized tools.
We handle the insurance paperwork, provide detailed documentation of damages, and work directly with your insurance company. Our goal is to remove the stress from your situation while ensuring your property is restored properly and safely.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout New York City and typically arrive within one hour of your call. Time is critical in flood damage situations because mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours, and structural damage worsens the longer water remains.
Our rapid response team immediately begins the mitigation process to prevent further damage and start the drying process. This quick action often means the difference between a manageable restoration and a major reconstruction project.
Most homeowner’s and commercial insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm damage. However, coverage varies depending on the cause of the damage and your specific policy terms.
We work with all major insurance companies and handle direct billing in most cases, so you don’t need to pay upfront costs. Our team documents all damage thoroughly and provides detailed reports that insurance companies require. We also help you navigate the claims process and communicate directly with your adjuster to ensure you receive fair compensation for your losses.
New York City buildings present unique challenges for flood restoration. Many buildings have aging infrastructure, complex plumbing systems, and shared walls that can hide water migration. Our high water table makes basement flooding particularly common, and coastal areas face additional risks from storm surge.
We understand these local conditions and have the specialized equipment to handle NYC’s specific challenges. Our technicians know how to work within building regulations, coordinate with building management in multi-unit properties, and address the mold concerns that are especially problematic in our humid climate.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and thorough drying within the first 24-48 hours. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all affected materials reach proper dryness levels before restoration begins.
Our technicians monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process and use antimicrobial treatments on affected surfaces. We also remove and replace materials that can’t be properly dried, such as saturated insulation or drywall. This comprehensive approach prevents the mold problems that often develop weeks or months after inadequate flood cleanup.
We use professional-grade equipment including truck-mounted water extraction units, industrial dehumidifiers, high-velocity air movers, and thermal imaging cameras for moisture detection. Our moisture meters help us track drying progress in walls and floors that appear dry on the surface.
For NYC’s challenging conditions, we also use specialized equipment like injectidry systems for drying inside wall cavities and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers that work effectively in our climate. This advanced equipment allows us to complete restoration faster and more thoroughly than companies using basic shop vacuums and fans.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential flood restoration projects take 3-7 days for drying and 1-3 weeks for complete restoration. NYC properties often take longer due to building complexity and the need to coordinate with building management or neighboring units.
We provide detailed timelines upfront and update you throughout the process. Our goal is to get you back to normal as quickly as possible while ensuring the work is done properly. Rush jobs that skip proper drying often lead to mold problems and additional damage months later, which is why we follow proven protocols even when time pressure is intense.
