NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk back into a space that feels like home again, not a construction zone. The musty smell is gone. The floors are solid under your feet. Your belongings are clean and safe.
That’s what happens when flood restoration is done right the first time. You’re not dealing with callbacks, hidden moisture, or mold problems six months later. Your insurance claim is handled properly, your family can move back in safely, and you have peace of mind knowing the job was completed to industry standards.
Most importantly, you get your life back without the lingering worry that water damage will resurface down the road.
Green Island Group has been handling flood emergencies across Nassau County for years. We understand what makes Westbury properties vulnerable—the aging infrastructure in older neighborhoods, the high water table that makes basements flood-prone, and the coastal location that increases storm surge risks.
Our team knows the local building codes, works directly with Nassau County insurance adjusters, and has restored hundreds of properties from Westbury to surrounding communities. We’re not learning on your property. We’ve seen these problems before and know exactly how to fix them properly.
When you call 631-256-5711, you’re reaching a local team that understands your neighborhood’s specific challenges and has the track record to prove it.
First, we arrive within one hour to assess the damage and stop any ongoing water intrusion. Our technicians use thermal imaging to identify hidden moisture behind walls and under flooring that you can’t see but that will cause problems later.
Next comes water extraction using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums, followed by strategic placement of dehumidifiers and air movers. We don’t just dry the surface—we eliminate moisture from structural materials to prevent mold growth and wood rot.
Finally, we handle the insurance documentation, coordinate any necessary repairs, and restore your property to its pre-flood condition. Throughout the process, we communicate with you and your insurance company so you know exactly what’s happening and when you can expect completion.

Your flood restoration service includes emergency water extraction, structural drying, moisture detection, mold prevention, and complete property restoration. We handle everything from burst pipes and basement flooding to storm damage and appliance failures.
In Westbury, we see specific patterns—basement flooding during heavy rains due to the area’s high water table, burst pipes in older homes during winter freeze-thaw cycles, and storm surge damage from coastal weather events. Our equipment and techniques are specifically chosen to handle these Nassau County conditions effectively.
We also manage your insurance claim from start to finish, providing detailed documentation and working directly with adjusters. Most of our Westbury clients have minimal out-of-pocket expenses because we handle the paperwork properly and ensure your claim covers the full scope of necessary restoration work.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Westbury and typically arrive within one hour of your call to 631-256-5711. When flood damage occurs, the first few hours are critical for preventing mold growth and minimizing structural damage.
Our emergency response team is always ready with industrial-grade water extraction equipment, moisture detection tools, and drying equipment. We understand that flood emergencies don’t wait for business hours, which is why we maintain round-the-clock availability for Nassau County residents.
The sooner we can begin water extraction and drying, the better your chances of avoiding secondary damage like mold growth, wood rot, and structural weakening that can turn a manageable situation into a major reconstruction project.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover water damage from sudden and accidental events like burst pipes, appliance failures, and roof leaks. However, flood damage from external sources typically requires separate flood insurance through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program.
We work directly with all major insurance companies and handle the entire claims process for our Westbury clients. This includes providing detailed documentation, photos, moisture readings, and scope of work reports that insurance adjusters need to process your claim quickly.
Our experience with Nassau County insurance claims means we know exactly what documentation is required and how to present your case for maximum coverage. Many of our clients have minimal out-of-pocket expenses because we ensure their claims are handled properly from the beginning.
Westbury’s location in Nassau County creates several unique water damage risks. The area has a high water table, which makes basements particularly susceptible to flooding during heavy rains or rapid snow melt. Many homes were built decades ago with aging plumbing systems that are more prone to failure.
The coastal location also increases exposure to storm surge and heavy precipitation from nor’easters and tropical storms. We’ve seen significant flooding events in recent years where areas like Old Westbury received over 4 inches of rain in a single storm.
Additionally, the dense development and aging infrastructure can lead to drainage issues and sewer backups during heavy rain events. Our team understands these local conditions and has the specialized equipment needed to handle Nassau County’s specific water damage challenges effectively.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and immediate structural drying. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all affected materials are completely dried within 48-72 hours—the critical window before mold begins to grow.
Our technicians use thermal imaging cameras to identify hidden moisture behind walls, under flooring, and in other areas that aren’t visible but can harbor mold growth. We don’t just dry the surface; we eliminate moisture from structural materials like wood framing, insulation, and subflooring.
When necessary, we also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces and may remove porous materials like carpet padding or drywall that cannot be adequately dried. Our goal is to create an environment where mold simply cannot establish itself, protecting both your property and your family’s health.
We use industrial-grade water extraction equipment including truck-mounted pumps, portable extractors, and specialized vacuums designed for different types of flooding situations. Our moisture detection equipment includes thermal imaging cameras, infrared thermometers, and digital moisture meters that can detect hidden water behind walls and under flooring.
For structural drying, we deploy commercial dehumidifiers, high-velocity air movers, and specialty drying equipment like injectidry systems for hardwood floors and wall cavities. All of our equipment meets IICRC standards for water damage restoration and is regularly maintained for optimal performance.
We also carry air scrubbers and negative air machines to maintain air quality during the restoration process, especially important in Nassau County’s humid climate where mold can develop quickly. This professional-grade equipment allows us to dry structures thoroughly and efficiently, preventing the secondary damage that often occurs with inadequate drying.
The timeline for flood restoration depends on the extent of damage, but most residential projects in Westbury take 3-7 days for the drying process alone. Emergency water extraction typically happens within hours of our arrival, but structural drying requires continuous monitoring and adjustment of equipment.
Minor flooding affecting only surface materials might be dried within 2-3 days, while more extensive damage involving wall cavities, subflooring, or structural materials can take a week or more to dry completely. We use moisture meters to verify that all materials have reached acceptable moisture levels before beginning any reconstruction.
The reconstruction phase varies significantly based on what needs to be replaced or repaired. Simple projects like replacing carpet and baseboard might add just a few days, while more extensive work involving drywall, flooring, or structural repairs can extend the timeline. We provide detailed timelines and keep you updated throughout the entire process so you know exactly when you can expect completion.
