NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Picture walking back into your home three weeks from now. The floors are solid under your feet. The walls are clean and dry. That musty smell that made you hold your breath? Gone completely.
Your insurance handled the claim without fighting you on every detail. Your belongings were cleaned and restored instead of thrown away. Most importantly, you didn’t spend sleepless nights wondering if hidden moisture was growing mold behind your walls.
This is what happens when flood restoration is done by people who actually know what they’re doing. We don’t just pump out water and hope for the best. We solve the whole problem so you can move forward instead of dealing with the same issues months later.
Green Island Group has been restoring Nassau County homes for years, and we’ve handled every type of flooding this area sees. The basement floods from overwhelmed storm drains during heavy rains. The burst pipes that happen when temperatures drop below freezing for days. The appliance failures that dump hundreds of gallons before anyone notices.
We understand how North New Hyde Park, NY homes are built and what makes them vulnerable. The older properties with basement issues. The areas near Jericho Turnpike that get hit hardest during storms. The drainage problems that affect certain neighborhoods every time it rains hard.
When your neighbors need water damage restoration, they call us because we show up fast, work clean, and don’t disappear when the job gets complicated. We live in this community too.
We start with a complete damage assessment using moisture detection equipment that finds water you can’t see. Hidden moisture in walls, under flooring, and inside building materials will destroy your home from the inside out if it’s not found and dried properly. We document everything with photos and moisture readings for your insurance claim.
Water extraction comes next, using truck-mounted pumps and specialized vacuums that remove standing water fast. Then we position industrial dehumidifiers and air movers throughout your home to pull moisture from building materials. This isn’t the same equipment you rent from the hardware store – these machines are designed for professional restoration work.
The final phase involves repairing and rebuilding anything that couldn’t be saved. We replace damaged drywall, flooring, and fixtures, then clean and sanitize everything to eliminate health hazards. Your home isn’t just dry when we’re finished – it’s actually more resistant to future water problems than before the flood.

Our flood restoration service covers emergency water removal, structural drying, mold remediation, content cleaning, and complete reconstruction. We also handle your insurance claim from the initial call to the final signature, so you don’t have to become an expert in flood damage policies overnight.
North New Hyde Park properties face unique challenges that out-of-town restoration companies don’t understand. The way water moves through older Nassau County neighborhoods. How quickly mold grows in our humid climate. Which building materials hold up and which need immediate replacement after flooding.
We’ve restored hundreds of homes in this area, so we know exactly what works and what doesn’t. No experimental approaches or learning on your property. Just proven methods that get your home back to normal as quickly as possible while preventing future problems.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within one hour anywhere in North New Hyde Park, NY. Speed matters because water damage doubles every few hours it’s left untreated. What starts as a manageable cleanup can become a major reconstruction project if the response is delayed.
Our emergency crew carries everything needed to stop further damage immediately. We extract standing water, set up drying equipment, and secure your property before moisture can soak deeper into building materials. The faster we respond, the more of your home and belongings we can save, and the lower your total restoration costs will be.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden water damage from internal sources like burst pipes or appliance failures, but they typically exclude flooding from external sources like storms or rising groundwater. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you understand your specific coverage.
We handle all insurance documentation, take detailed photos, and provide the paperwork your adjuster needs to process claims quickly. If you have separate flood insurance through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program, we’re experienced with those claims as well. Our goal is maximizing your coverage while ensuring the restoration meets all requirements for full reimbursement.
Flood water typically contains bacteria, chemicals, sewage, and other contaminants that make it hazardous to handle without proper safety equipment and training. Regular water damage from clean sources like broken pipes is much safer to clean up, but flood water requires specialized procedures to protect your family’s health.
Our flood restoration process includes not just drying, but complete sanitization and sometimes removal of contaminated materials that can’t be safely cleaned. We follow strict safety protocols and use EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to ensure your home is not just dry, but safe for your family to live in again.
Mold prevention requires rapid water extraction and thorough drying within 48 hours, before mold spores can establish colonies. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all building materials reach proper dryness levels. Removing visible water isn’t enough – trapped moisture will cause mold problems weeks later.
We apply antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces and remove any materials that can’t be properly dried. Our drying process continues until moisture readings are below the threshold for mold growth. We document these readings throughout the process, giving you proof the job was done correctly for insurance purposes and your family’s peace of mind.
Ensure your safety first by shutting off electricity to flooded areas if you can reach the breaker box safely from a dry location. Never enter standing water if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged. Call us immediately for emergency service – every minute counts in flood restoration.
Take photos for insurance documentation, but don’t attempt cleanup yourself without proper safety equipment. Flood water contains dangerous contaminants, and improper cleanup often makes damage worse. Move valuable items to dry areas if possible, but don’t delay professional help. We’re available 24/7 to respond to North New Hyde Park flood emergencies.
Timeline depends on damage extent, but most North New Hyde Park residential projects take 3-7 days for the drying phase, plus 1-3 weeks for reconstruction work. Emergency water extraction begins immediately, and we typically have drying equipment running within hours of your call.
Minor flooding with no structural damage might be completed within a week, while extensive damage requiring wall replacement, flooring, or major systems work can take several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment and update you regularly throughout the process. Quality work takes time – rushing leads to problems like mold growth or structural issues that cost much more to fix later.
