When flood water hits your South Richmond Hill home, every hour counts. Mold starts growing within 24-48 hours, and standing water keeps damaging your foundation, your belongings, and your peace of mind.
We extract every drop of water—from the obvious puddles to the moisture hiding in your walls. Our industrial-grade equipment dries everything completely, and our antimicrobial treatments eliminate bacteria and odors that sewage backups leave behind.
You get your basement back. Clean, dry, and restored to the way it was before the water came in. No lingering dampness, no mold growth, no wondering if we missed something.
Green Island Group has been handling flood restoration in South Richmond Hill and throughout Queens for years. We understand why basements here flood so often—aging sewer systems, heavy downpours, and infrastructure that wasn’t built for today’s storms.
We’ve seen it all: sewage backups from blocked city lines, foundation seepage during heavy rains, and burst pipes that flood entire basements overnight. That’s why we keep crews ready 24/7 and arrive within an hour of your call.
Our team knows how to work with insurance companies, handle the paperwork, and get you the coverage you deserve. We bill your insurance directly, so you’re not stuck paying upfront and waiting for reimbursement.
First, we assess the damage and create a plan specific to your situation. Every flood is different—sewage backup needs different treatment than clean water from a burst pipe.
Next, we extract all standing water using powerful pumps and vacuums designed for rapid removal. We don’t just get the water you can see—we use moisture detection equipment to find hidden water in walls, under floors, and in other spaces where damage spreads.
Then we dry everything completely using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels until everything reaches proper dryness standards. Finally, we clean and disinfect all affected areas, eliminating bacteria, odors, and potential health hazards.

We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within one hour of your call. Time is critical with flood damage—mold can start growing within 24-48 hours, and the longer water sits, the more damage it causes to your foundation and belongings.
Our rapid response helps minimize damage and reduces your overall restoration costs. We keep emergency crews ready around the clock because we know floods don’t happen on a convenient schedule.
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the flooding. Most homeowner’s insurance covers sudden and accidental water damage like burst pipes, but may exclude flood-related damage from storms or sewer backups.
We work directly with insurance companies, handle all the paperwork, and provide detailed documentation to support your claim. We can often bill your insurance directly, so you don’t have to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement. We’ll review your policy and help you understand what’s covered.
Sewage backups require specialized cleanup because they pose serious health risks from bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. We use protective equipment and follow strict safety protocols during the entire process.
We extract all contaminated water and materials, then clean and disinfect all affected surfaces with antimicrobial treatments. We remove and dispose of any materials that can’t be safely cleaned, like soaked drywall or carpeting. Finally, we use industrial-grade air filtration to eliminate odors and airborne contaminants.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage and the type of water involved. Minor water damage from a small leak might be resolved in 3-5 days, while major flooding can take several weeks for complete restoration.
The drying process typically takes 3-7 days, depending on humidity levels and the amount of water involved. We use moisture meters to ensure everything is completely dry before moving to repairs and reconstruction. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
