NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
When water invades your property, every hour counts. The difference between manageable repairs and devastating reconstruction often comes down to how quickly you get professional help.
You’ll have your property properly dried and restored without the lingering moisture that leads to mold growth and structural damage. Our advanced extraction equipment removes water from places you can’t see—inside walls, under flooring, and in structural cavities where future problems hide.
Your insurance claim gets handled smoothly with proper documentation and direct billing options. No fighting with adjusters over what’s covered or scrambling to pay upfront costs while waiting for reimbursement.
Green Island Group has been serving Auburndale and surrounding Queens communities with reliable water damage restoration services. We understand the unique challenges properties face here—from aging infrastructure to storm-related flooding that affects our area.
Our certified technicians use the same equipment and techniques trusted by insurance companies nationwide. We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for thorough work that prevents callbacks, proper moisture detection that stops mold before it starts, and documentation that satisfies insurance requirements the first time.
Every job gets the same attention whether it’s a small leak in an Auburndale apartment or major flood damage in a local business.
First, we assess the full extent of water damage using moisture meters and thermal imaging to find hidden wet areas. You’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with before any work begins, including areas that might not be obvious to the naked eye.
Next comes water extraction using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums, followed by structural drying with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels daily until everything reaches proper dryness standards—not just surface dry, but thoroughly dry throughout the structure.
Finally, we handle repairs and restoration from damaged drywall to flooring replacement. You get your property back to pre-damage condition with proper documentation for your insurance company. The entire process typically takes 3-5 days for standard water damage, though timeline depends on the extent of damage and materials affected.

Your water damage restoration includes emergency water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, and complete repairs. We handle everything from initial cleanup through final restoration so you’re not coordinating multiple contractors during an already stressful time.
Auburndale properties often face unique water damage challenges due to our area’s older plumbing systems and basement configurations common in Queens neighborhoods. We’re familiar with the typical problem areas in local homes and know how water typically travels through different property types in our community.
You’ll receive detailed documentation with photos and moisture readings for insurance purposes, plus direct billing options with most major insurance carriers. Our work comes with a warranty because proper water damage restoration should solve the problem permanently, not create ongoing issues.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and can typically reach Auburndale properties within 60-90 minutes of your call. Speed matters with water damage because every hour of delay increases restoration costs and the likelihood of secondary damage like mold growth.
Our emergency response includes immediate water extraction and placement of drying equipment to stop damage progression. Even if full restoration can’t begin immediately, we’ll stabilize the situation to prevent further damage while developing a complete restoration plan.
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of water damage. Sudden and accidental water damage (like burst pipes or appliance failures) is typically covered, while gradual leaks or flood damage may require separate flood insurance.
We work directly with insurance companies and can handle claim documentation, provide detailed estimates, and often bill your insurance directly. Our technicians document everything with photos and moisture readings that insurance adjusters expect to see, which helps ensure your claim gets processed smoothly.
We’ll review your policy details and help you understand what’s covered before beginning work, so there are no surprises about costs.
Proper structural drying is the key to mold prevention. We use commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to remove moisture from all affected materials, not just surface water. Our moisture meters detect hidden water in walls and subfloors that could lead to mold growth weeks later.
We monitor moisture levels daily throughout the drying process and don’t consider the job complete until all materials reach industry-standard dryness levels. This typically takes 3-5 days depending on the extent of water damage and materials involved.
If water damage has been present for more than 48 hours, we also inspect for existing mold growth and include appropriate remediation in the restoration plan.
Our complete water damage restoration includes emergency water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, damaged material removal, and full reconstruction back to pre-damage condition. You get one company handling the entire process from start to finish.
This includes content cleaning and restoration for salvageable belongings, antimicrobial treatments to prevent microbial growth, and repairs to damaged flooring, drywall, insulation, and other structural components. We also handle the cleaning and sanitizing of affected areas.
You’ll receive detailed documentation throughout the process including photos, moisture readings, and progress reports that satisfy insurance requirements and give you confidence the job is being done properly.
Water damage restoration costs vary significantly based on the extent of damage, materials affected, and size of the affected area. Minor water damage might cost $2,000-$4,000, while major flooding can reach $10,000 or more for complete restoration.
We provide detailed written estimates before beginning work so you know exactly what to expect. Most costs are covered by homeowner’s insurance when the damage results from sudden and accidental causes like burst pipes or appliance failures.
Our estimates break down costs by category—water extraction, drying, repairs, and materials—so you understand where your money goes and can make informed decisions about the restoration process.
Yes, we work with all major insurance companies and many regional carriers. We’re familiar with different insurers’ requirements for documentation, estimates, and claim procedures, which helps ensure your claim gets processed efficiently.
We can often bill your insurance company directly, so you don’t have to pay out-of-pocket and wait for reimbursement. When direct billing isn’t available, we work with you to structure payments that align with your insurance disbursement schedule.
Our detailed documentation and industry-standard procedures satisfy insurance adjusters’ requirements, reducing the likelihood of claim disputes or requests for additional information that can delay payment.
