NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Your water-damaged property gets completely dried, cleaned, and restored to its original condition. You won’t find hidden moisture lurking behind walls or under floors that could cause mold problems months later.
The stress disappears because you’re working with a team that handles everything from the initial emergency response to the final walkthrough. Your insurance company gets the documentation they need, so you don’t have to fight for coverage.
You get your normal life back without the constant worry about whether the job was done right the first time.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across Long Island for years. We understand what Shirley homeowners face – from aging infrastructure in older homes to the high water table that makes basements particularly vulnerable to flooding.
We’ve seen firsthand how Hurricane Sandy affected 730 properties in Shirley back in 2012. That’s why we’re prepared for everything from burst pipes to storm surge flooding that hits our coastal community.
Our IICRC-certified team knows the local challenges and has the specialized equipment to handle them properly the first time.
First, we arrive within an hour to assess the damage and stop any ongoing water intrusion. We document everything for your insurance company right from the start.
Next, we extract all standing water using industrial-grade equipment and identify hidden moisture with thermal imaging. This isn’t just about what you can see – water travels through walls, under floors, and into places you’d never think to check.
Then we set up our drying equipment and monitor moisture levels until everything is completely dry. We don’t pack up and leave until we’re certain mold won’t have a chance to grow later.
Finally, we restore and repair any damaged materials so your property looks like the water damage never happened.

You get 24/7 emergency response, complete water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, and full restoration services. We handle both residential and commercial properties throughout Shirley and Suffolk County.
Our service includes working directly with your insurance company to handle claims and documentation. You don’t pay upfront costs while dealing with an emergency – we bill insurance directly when possible.
In Shirley, we regularly handle water damage from coastal flooding during nor’easters, basement flooding due to Long Island’s high water table, and burst pipes in the area’s older homes with aging plumbing systems. Each situation needs a different approach, which is why our technicians maintain the latest IICRC certifications and use equipment specifically designed for Long Island’s unique conditions.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Shirley and typically arrive within one hour of your call. Time is critical with water damage because mold can start growing within 24-48 hours.
The sooner we can start the water extraction and drying process, the less damage your property will suffer. We understand that water emergencies don’t happen on a schedule, which is why we’re available around the clock every day of the year.
Our rapid response helps minimize both the immediate damage and long-term problems like structural issues or mold growth that can cost thousands more to fix later.
Most homeowner insurance policies cover water damage repair caused by sudden or accidental incidents, such as burst pipes or storms. However, coverage can vary depending on the source of the water and your specific policy terms.
We work directly with insurance companies and handle the claims process for you. Our team documents everything properly and provides the detailed reports your insurance company needs to process your claim quickly.
We can often bill your insurance company directly, so you don’t have to pay large upfront costs while dealing with an emergency. We’ll review your policy with you and explain what’s typically covered versus what might require additional consideration.
The timeline depends on the extent of the damage, but most residential water damage restoration projects in Shirley take 3-7 days for the drying and dehumidification phase, with additional time needed for any reconstruction work.
Smaller incidents like a burst pipe in one room might be completed in 2-3 days. Larger flooding events or basement flooding could take a week or more to fully dry and restore properly.
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to monitor progress and won’t consider the job complete until all moisture levels are back to normal. Rushing the drying process just leads to mold problems later that cost even more to fix.
First, ensure everyone’s safety – if there’s standing water near electrical outlets or appliances, stay out of the area. If it’s safe, try to stop the water source by shutting off your main water valve or covering roof leaks.
Remove any valuable items from the affected area if you can do so safely. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling for professional help.
Contact us immediately at the first sign of water damage. The longer water sits, the more damage it causes to your structure and belongings. We’ll walk you through any immediate steps you can take safely while we’re on our way to your property.
Yes, we specialize in basement flooding restoration throughout Shirley. Basements on Long Island are particularly susceptible to flooding due to our high water table, and we see this issue frequently in coastal Suffolk County communities.
Basement flooding requires specialized equipment and techniques because the water often seeps into foundation walls and floor systems. We use powerful pumps for water extraction and industrial dehumidifiers specifically designed for below-grade spaces.
We also address the underlying moisture issues that make basements vulnerable to future flooding, including proper waterproofing recommendations and drainage solutions to help prevent recurring problems that could affect your property value.
Absolutely. Mold prevention is a critical part of our water damage restoration process. We start the drying process immediately and use advanced equipment to remove all moisture from affected areas, including hidden moisture in walls and subfloors.
Our industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers create the proper environment to prevent mold spores from taking hold. We also monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process to ensure everything reaches safe levels before we consider the job complete.
If we discover existing mold growth during the restoration process, we’re equipped to handle mold remediation as well. The key is acting fast – mold can start growing within 24-48 hours in Long Island’s humid climate, which is why our immediate response is so important for protecting your family’s health and your property investment.
