You get your property completely dry and restored to pre-damage condition. No hidden moisture. No mold concerns. No structural damage spreading while you wait.
Your basement stays dry, your walls stay solid, and your belongings stay protected. We handle the insurance paperwork so you can focus on getting back to your routine instead of fighting with claims adjusters.
The water extraction happens fast. The drying happens thoroughly. The restoration happens right the first time, so you don’t deal with callbacks or recurring problems down the road.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Nassau County for years. We understand the specific challenges Mitchell Field properties face – from aging infrastructure to the area’s susceptibility to basement flooding during heavy rains and snow melt.
Nassau County’s climate creates unique problems. Pipes freeze and burst during cold snaps. Heavy storms overwhelm drainage systems. Basements flood because they’re the lowest point when hydrostatic pressure builds up around foundations.
We’ve seen it all in this area, and we know exactly how to handle each situation quickly and completely.
First, we respond immediately to your call. Our technicians arrive with advanced moisture detection equipment to assess not just what you can see, but what’s hidden behind walls and under floors.
Next, we remove all standing water using powerful extraction equipment and begin structural drying with industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels continuously to ensure complete drying.
Then we handle the restoration work – from minor repairs to complete reconstruction, depending on the extent of damage. Throughout the process, we communicate clearly about timelines and progress, and we work directly with your insurance company to handle billing and claims.

You get complete water damage restoration from emergency response through final repairs. Water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, mold prevention, and full reconstruction when needed.
Mitchell Field properties often deal with basement flooding from storm water and burst pipes. Our service includes sewage cleanup when needed, since raw sewage creates serious health hazards that require professional handling with proper equipment and safety protocols.
We work with all insurance companies and handle direct billing, so most of our clients don’t have any out-of-pocket expenses. You get transparent pricing upfront, so you know exactly what to expect without surprise costs later.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within an hour of your call. Speed matters because water damage gets worse every hour you wait – it seeps deeper into materials, increases structural damage, and creates conditions for mold growth.
Our technicians come prepared with moisture detection equipment to assess the full extent of damage, including hidden moisture behind walls and under floors. We start water extraction immediately to stop further damage and begin the drying process right away.
The faster we respond, the less damage occurs and the lower your overall restoration costs. That’s why we maintain emergency availability around the clock for Mitchell Field and all of Nassau County.
Burst pipes during cold weather are the most common cause we see in Mitchell Field. Nassau County’s winter temperatures cause pipes to freeze and burst, especially in basements and crawl spaces where insulation may be inadequate.
Heavy storms and snow melt also create problems. The area’s geography means water can build up around foundations, creating hydrostatic pressure that forces water through basement walls and foundation cracks. Clogged gutters make this worse by directing water toward your foundation instead of away from it.
Aging plumbing systems in older properties fail more frequently, and appliance malfunctions like water heater failures or washing machine overflows cause significant damage when they happen on upper floors.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, the type of water involved, and the materials affected. 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 materials are completely dry before moving to the next phase, because rushing this step leads to mold problems later.
After drying is complete, reconstruction begins, which can range from a few days for minor repairs to several weeks for extensive damage. We provide realistic timelines after our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process.
Yes, we work with all insurance companies and handle direct billing in most cases. We’ll communicate directly with your insurance adjuster, provide detailed documentation of the damage, and submit all necessary paperwork for your claim.
Most of our clients don’t have any out-of-pocket expenses because we bill the insurance company directly. We know exactly what documentation insurance companies require and how to present damage assessments in ways that support your claim.
We also help you understand what your policy covers and advocate for proper restoration procedures that meet insurance standards. This takes the stress of dealing with insurance paperwork off your shoulders during an already difficult situation.
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 24-48 hours.
We remove any materials that can’t be properly dried, like soaked insulation or severely damaged drywall, because these become breeding grounds for mold even after they appear dry on the surface. Our moisture detection equipment finds hidden water in wall cavities and under flooring.
We also treat affected areas with antimicrobial solutions when appropriate and monitor humidity levels throughout the drying process. Proper ventilation and air circulation are critical – stagnant air allows mold spores to settle and grow even in areas that seem dry.
First, turn off the water source if possible and safe to do so. Then call us immediately at 631-256-5711 – the sooner we start extraction and drying, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs.
Don’t try to remove large amounts of water yourself with household equipment. Shop vacuums and fans aren’t powerful enough for significant water damage, and you might miss hidden moisture that causes problems later. Professional extraction equipment removes water much more effectively.
Move valuable items to dry areas if you can do so safely, but don’t enter flooded basements or areas with electrical hazards. Take photos for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling for professional help while you document everything – stopping the damage is more important than perfect documentation.
