NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Your hardwood floors are level again, not warped from moisture. The drywall is solid, not soft to the touch. That musty basement smell that made you hold your breath? Gone completely.
This is what happens when water damage gets handled by professionals who understand Long Island properties. No hidden moisture lurking behind walls waiting to cause mold problems six months later. No insurance battles over what’s covered. No wondering if the job was done right.
You get your peace of mind back along with your property. The kind where you can walk through your home without mentally cataloging every stain or wondering what’s growing behind the walls.
Green Island Group has been handling water emergencies across West Hills and Suffolk County for years. We understand the specific challenges you face here—basement flooding during nor’easters, burst pipes from our freeze-thaw cycles, and the way water finds every weak point in older Long Island homes.
We’ve seen how a “small” leak in a West Hills basement can turn into a major structural problem when the water table is high and drainage is poor. That’s why we respond fast and bring the right equipment for Long Island conditions.
When your neighbors need flood damage restoration that actually works, they call us. We’ve built our reputation by solving problems other companies walk away from, and we work directly with your insurance company so you’re not stuck with surprise bills during an already stressful time.
We start with immediate response—usually within an hour of your call. Our technicians arrive with thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to find not just the obvious water damage, but the hidden moisture that causes problems later.
Next comes water extraction using truck-mounted pumps that can handle everything from a few inches in your basement to major flooding. We set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers positioned to create optimal drying conditions for your specific situation.
The restoration phase is where our Long Island experience really shows. We know which materials can be saved and which need replacement. We handle the reconstruction work ourselves, so you’re not coordinating multiple contractors while dealing with insurance adjusters. One call, one company, complete restoration.

Our water damage cleanup covers the full scope of restoration work. Emergency water removal, structural drying, mold prevention, damaged material replacement, and complete reconstruction when needed. You get one comprehensive service instead of piecing together multiple contractors.
For West Hills properties, this often means addressing the basement water issues that are common in our area. Suffolk County’s high water table and aging infrastructure create unique challenges that require local expertise. We understand how water moves through Long Island homes and where problems typically develop.
We also handle your insurance claim documentation from start to finish. This includes damage assessment photos, detailed repair estimates, and direct communication with your adjuster. Most of our customers pay nothing out of pocket beyond their deductible because we work within insurance guidelines and bill directly.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout West Hills and typically arrive within one hour of your call. Speed matters with water damage—every hour that passes allows water to penetrate deeper into materials and increases your restoration costs.
Our rapid response often means the difference between drying your hardwood floors and having to replace them entirely. We keep trucks stocked and ready because we know that water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, especially during storm season on Long Island.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm damage to your roof. However, flood damage from outside sources typically requires separate flood insurance, which is important to consider given West Hills’ location in Suffolk County.
We work directly with all major insurance companies and handle the claims process for you. This includes documenting all damage with photos and moisture readings, providing detailed repair estimates, and communicating directly with your adjuster. We bill your insurance company directly in most cases, so you avoid upfront costs during your emergency.
The timeline depends on several factors: the extent of damage, the type of water involved, and which materials were affected. A small leak affecting one room might be completely restored in 3-5 days, while major basement flooding could take 2-3 weeks for full reconstruction.
The drying process typically takes 3-7 days depending on humidity levels and the amount of water. After everything is thoroughly dry, we begin reconstruction work. We provide realistic timelines after our initial assessment and update you daily on progress. Our goal is to get you back to normal as quickly as possible without cutting corners on quality.
Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in the right conditions, which is why immediate professional response is critical. If mold is already present when we arrive, we handle both the water damage restoration and mold remediation as part of our comprehensive service.
Our process includes antimicrobial treatments during the drying phase and thorough moisture elimination to prevent future mold growth. We use professional-grade equipment to ensure all moisture is removed from affected areas, including inside wall cavities and under flooring where mold problems often start but aren’t visible.
Yes, we provide water damage restoration for both residential and commercial properties throughout West Hills and Suffolk County. Commercial properties often need faster response times to minimize business interruption, and we’re equipped to handle large-scale water damage events that might affect multiple units or floors.
Our team understands the unique challenges of different property types, from single-family homes to apartment complexes to retail spaces. We can scale our response and equipment to match your specific situation, and we work around your business schedule when possible to minimize disruption to your operations.
Safety first—turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely. Don’t enter areas with standing water if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
Try to stop the water source if possible—shut off your main water valve for pipe breaks or move valuables away from active leaks. Take photos for insurance documentation, but don’t delay calling for help. The faster we can start the water removal and drying process, the more of your property we can save and the lower your total restoration costs will be.
