NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Your floors are dry. Your walls are structurally sound. The musty smell is gone, replaced by clean air you can breathe without worry.
You’re not dealing with insurance paperwork alone—we’ve handled the documentation, the photos, the moisture readings they need to process your claim quickly. Your family isn’t displaced for weeks while contractors figure out what they’re doing.
The restoration is complete, not partial. We don’t just extract water and leave you to figure out the rest. Your property looks and feels exactly like it did before the damage happened, sometimes better.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Nassau County for years. We understand how quickly Long Island’s coastal humidity can turn a small leak into a major mold problem.
We’re not a franchise operation reading from a manual. We’re local contractors who’ve seen every type of water damage Plainview properties face—from nor’easter flooding to burst pipes in century-old homes.
Our IICRC-certified technicians live and work in this area. When you call, you’re getting someone who understands Long Island construction, knows local building codes, and has relationships with the insurance adjusters who handle claims in this market.
First, we’re on-site within hours of your call, not days. We assess the full scope of damage using thermal imaging and moisture meters to find water you can’t see. No guessing, no missed spots that cause problems later.
Next, we extract standing water and begin structural drying immediately. Our industrial dehumidifiers and air movers run 24/7 until moisture levels return to normal. We monitor progress daily with precise measurements.
Finally, we handle repairs and restoration from start to finish. Damaged drywall gets replaced. Flooring gets restored or replaced. We coordinate with your insurance company throughout the process, providing the documentation they need to approve your claim quickly.

Emergency water extraction happens immediately—we’re not waiting until Monday morning while your damage gets worse. Our truck-mounted extraction equipment removes thousands of gallons quickly.
Structural drying uses commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers positioned strategically throughout your property. We monitor moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings until everything reads normal on our meters.
Plainview’s coastal location means humidity control is critical. We understand how Long Island’s climate affects drying times and adjust our equipment accordingly. Your property won’t develop mold problems weeks later because we rushed the process.
We typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call, including nights and weekends. Water damage spreads rapidly—every hour of delay means more structural damage, higher repair costs, and increased mold risk.
Our emergency response vehicles are stocked with extraction equipment, so we start removing water immediately upon arrival. We don’t need to go back to the shop for equipment or wait for another crew to bring supplies.
Time matters most in the first 24-48 hours after water damage occurs. That’s when you can prevent secondary damage that turns a manageable repair into a major reconstruction project.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like burst pipes or appliance failures. Coverage varies significantly between policies, so we review your specific coverage during our initial assessment.
We document everything your insurance company needs—photos, moisture readings, equipment logs, and detailed repair estimates. This documentation speeds up claim approval and ensures you receive maximum coverage for necessary repairs.
Gradual damage like slow leaks or maintenance issues typically aren’t covered. However, if a slow leak causes sudden damage like a ceiling collapse, that secondary damage often qualifies for coverage under most policies.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and immediate structural drying. Mold spores begin growing within 24-48 hours in moist environments, so speed is essential.
We use industrial dehumidifiers to control humidity levels below 50% throughout your property. Our air movers create airflow that accelerates evaporation from building materials. We monitor moisture levels in walls and floors until they return to normal ranges.
Any materials that can’t be properly dried within 72 hours get removed and replaced. This includes soaked insulation, severely damaged drywall, and flooring that’s absorbed significant moisture. Prevention costs far less than mold remediation later.
Water damage cleanup removes standing water and begins the drying process. Full restoration returns your property to its pre-loss condition, including all necessary repairs and reconstruction.
Many companies only handle the cleanup phase, then leave you to find contractors for repairs. We manage the entire process from initial water extraction through final paint touch-ups and carpet installation.
This coordinated approach prevents delays, miscommunication, and cost overruns that happen when multiple contractors are involved. You deal with one company, one project manager, and one timeline from start to finish.
Drying typically takes 3-5 days for most residential water damage, depending on the extent of saturation and local humidity conditions. Long Island’s coastal climate can extend drying times compared to drier regions.
Repairs and restoration work varies based on damage severity. Minor repairs like drywall replacement and painting take 1-2 weeks. Extensive damage requiring flooring replacement and reconstruction can take 3-4 weeks.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and update you daily on progress. Weather conditions, material availability, and insurance approval processes can affect schedules, but we communicate any changes immediately.
Yes, we handle insurance communication throughout your claim process. We provide detailed documentation, photos, and repair estimates that adjusters need to approve coverage quickly.
Our estimates align with insurance industry standards and local labor rates. We understand what documentation adjusters require and provide comprehensive reports that support full coverage for necessary repairs.
We can also work with your insurance company’s preferred contractors if required by your policy. However, most policies allow you to choose your restoration company, and working directly with us often results in faster completion and better quality control.
