NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You’re dealing with enough stress after flood damage hits. You don’t need to worry about whether the cleanup was done right, whether mold will grow later, or whether your insurance claim will get approved.
When Green Island Group handles your flood restoration in New York, NY, you get your property back to pre-damage condition—often stronger than it was before. Your basement stays dry. Your walls don’t develop mold problems six months later. Your insurance company gets the documentation they need to approve your claim without delays.
Most importantly, you get your peace of mind back. You’re not wondering if corners were cut or if problems will surface later. The job gets done right the first time, with materials and methods designed for NYC’s unique challenges.
Green Island Group has completed over 5,000 restoration projects across New York State. We understand what makes NYC properties different—the aging infrastructure, the high water tables that make basements vulnerable, and the way water can travel through multiple units in apartment buildings.
We’ve handled everything from basement floods in pre-war buildings to storm surge damage along the waterfront. Every project teaches us something new about NYC’s unique restoration challenges, and we use that knowledge to protect your property better.
When your neighbors need flood restoration, they call us because we’ve earned our reputation one properly restored property at a time. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s actually good news for you—you’re investing in fewer callbacks, fewer insurance headaches, and real protection against future problems.
First, we’re at your door within hours of your call, not days. Time matters when you’re dealing with flood damage—every hour of delay increases the risk of mold growth and structural problems.
Our team starts with a complete damage assessment using thermal imaging and moisture detection equipment. We document everything for your insurance claim while we begin emergency water extraction and stabilization.
Next comes the real work. We extract all standing water using industrial-grade pumps and begin the drying process with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels continuously to ensure everything is completely dry before moving to restoration.
Finally, we restore your property using materials specifically chosen for NYC’s coastal climate and building requirements. Everything gets documented for your insurance company. You get your property back in better condition than before the flood hit, with the confidence that it’s built to handle whatever comes next.

Our flood restoration covers everything from emergency water removal to full reconstruction. You get 24/7 emergency response, advanced moisture detection, 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. You get one point of contact throughout the entire process, from emergency response through final restoration.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout New York City and typically arrive within one hour of your call. Time is critical after flood damage—every hour of delay increases the risk of secondary damage like mold growth or structural deterioration.
Our rapid response team is specifically equipped for NYC’s challenges. We keep crews staged during weather events and maintain emergency supplies year-round. When that pipe bursts at 2 AM or your basement floods during a storm, we’re already prepared to mobilize immediately.
Fast response isn’t just about convenience—it’s about protecting your property value and preventing a manageable problem from becoming a major reconstruction project.
New York City buildings present unique challenges for flood restoration. Many buildings are older with aging plumbing systems that are more prone to failure. In apartment buildings, water can travel through multiple units, making it difficult to trace the original source.
Our city’s high water table means basements are particularly susceptible to flooding, and our coastal location increases the risk of storm surge damage. Additionally, NYC’s building codes and regulations require specific procedures for restoration work.
Our team is experienced with these local challenges and follows all NYS, NYC, and EPA regulations to ensure proper restoration and worker safety. We understand how to navigate the complexities of co-op and condo buildings where access and approvals can be complicated.
Yes, we handle all insurance paperwork and bill your insurance company directly in most cases. This means you typically only pay your deductible and any upgrades not covered by your policy.
We provide detailed documentation of all damage and restoration work, including photos, moisture readings, and material lists. This documentation helps ensure your claim gets approved quickly and for the full amount you’re entitled to receive.
Our team knows what insurance adjusters need to see and how to present the information properly. We’ve worked with every major insurance carrier and understand their requirements and approval processes.
Preventing mold growth requires immediate action and thorough drying. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all affected materials are completely dried within the critical 48-72 hour window.
Our thermal imaging equipment detects hidden moisture behind walls and under floors that standard methods might miss. We monitor moisture levels continuously throughout the drying process and don’t consider the job complete until everything reads at safe levels.
If we discover existing mold growth, we handle the remediation using EPA-approved procedures. All our technicians are trained in proper mold prevention techniques and use antimicrobial treatments when necessary to prevent future growth.
We serve all five boroughs of New York City, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Our central location allows us to respond quickly to emergencies anywhere in the city, typically within one hour.
We’re familiar with the specific challenges in each borough, from Manhattan’s high-rise buildings to Brooklyn’s brownstones to Queens’ diverse housing stock. Each area has its own flood risks and building characteristics that affect our restoration approach.
Whether you’re dealing with basement flooding in a pre-war building or storm damage in a waterfront property, we have the local knowledge and equipment to handle your specific situation properly.
Flood restoration costs vary significantly based on the extent of damage, type of water involved, and size of the affected area. Water removal typically costs $4-8 per square foot, while basement drying can range from $4,739 to $5,537 depending on the scope of work needed.
NYC costs are higher than the national average due to our higher cost of living, labor costs, and complex building requirements. However, professional restoration often saves money in the long run by preventing secondary damage like mold growth or structural issues.
We provide free estimates and work with your insurance company to maximize your coverage. Most of our customers pay only their deductible when insurance covers the damage. We’ll explain all costs upfront so there are no surprises during the restoration process.
