NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You’re not just dealing with standing water when sewage backs up into your property. You’re facing contaminated waste that threatens your family’s health and your property’s structural integrity.
Professional water extraction removes contaminated water in hours, not days. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers eliminate moisture from walls, floors, and hidden spaces where mold thrives. Antimicrobial treatments kill bacteria and viruses that regular cleaning can’t touch.
Your space returns to you without lingering odors, hidden moisture, or health risks. Insurance documentation gets handled properly so you can focus on getting back to normal instead of fighting with adjusters over incomplete paperwork.
Green Island Group has restored Long Island properties through their worst water damage emergencies for years. We understand how Argo Village’s older homes and local infrastructure create unique challenges when sewage systems fail.
Our certified technicians arrive equipped for complete contamination control. Licensed, insured, and trained in advanced restoration techniques that protect your property and family’s health. We use truck-mounted extraction equipment and commercial-grade drying systems that portable units can’t match.
Your neighbors call us because we show up when promised, complete the job properly, and stand behind our work. No shortcuts, no surprises, no lingering problems months later.
Immediate water extraction starts with truck-mounted pumps that remove contaminated water faster than any portable equipment. Every contaminated surface gets treated with EPA-approved antimicrobials that kill dangerous bacteria and viruses lurking in sewage waste.
Structural drying follows with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers positioned strategically throughout your property. We monitor moisture levels in walls, subfloors, and hidden cavities until everything reaches safe, dry conditions. This process typically takes 3-5 days depending on contamination extent.
Professional deodorization eliminates sewage odors permanently using ozone generators and hydroxyl systems that break down odor molecules at the source. You receive complete documentation for insurance claims, including photos, moisture readings, and detailed restoration reports.

Your sewage cleanup includes immediate water extraction, complete contamination removal, and professional sanitization of all affected surfaces. Structural drying uses commercial equipment that eliminates moisture from hidden spaces where damage spreads. Thorough deodorization removes persistent odors permanently.
Argo Village properties often present unique challenges with basement flooding and older plumbing systems that complicate sewage backups. Our team comes prepared for these local conditions with specialized equipment and proven techniques for Long Island homes and businesses.
Insurance claim documentation includes comprehensive photos, moisture readings, and detailed restoration reports. We coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster to streamline the claims process and ensure you receive fair compensation for necessary restoration work.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 60-90 minutes throughout the Argo Village area. Sewage backups create immediate health hazards that worsen every hour cleanup is delayed.
Our response trucks carry water extraction equipment, antimicrobial treatments, and protective gear needed to begin contamination control immediately. Fast response prevents sewage from spreading to uncontaminated areas and minimizes property damage that increases restoration costs.
The first few hours determine how extensive your damage becomes. Quick professional intervention means less contaminated material to remove, shorter drying times, and lower overall restoration costs for your property.
Sewage cleanup requires specialized contamination control procedures that regular water damage doesn’t need. We treat sewage backups as Category 3 water damage, meaning everything that contacted contaminated water must be properly disinfected or removed according to health department standards.
Our technicians wear full protective equipment and use EPA-approved antimicrobials specifically designed for sewage contamination. Regular water damage might only need drying, but sewage cleanup demands thorough sanitization to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and parasites that threaten your family’s health.
The equipment differs significantly too. More powerful extraction units remove contaminated water faster. Specialized air filtration systems contain and remove dangerous particles from your indoor air during the restoration process.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden sewage backups, but coverage varies based on the backup cause and your specific policy terms. We work directly with insurance companies and help you understand your coverage before beginning work.
Our documentation includes photos, moisture readings, and detailed reports that insurance adjusters require to process claims efficiently. We know exactly what information insurers need and provide comprehensive documentation that supports your claim from day one.
If your policy doesn’t cover complete restoration costs, we offer flexible payment options and can prioritize the most critical safety and structural issues first. You get the protection you need while working within your budget constraints.
Permanent odor elimination requires professional equipment that breaks down odor molecules at the source rather than masking smells temporarily. We use ozone generators, hydroxyl generators, and thermal fogging systems that neutralize odor-causing compounds chemically.
First, all contaminated materials that can’t be properly cleaned get removed completely. Remaining surfaces receive antimicrobial treatments that eliminate odor-causing bacteria. Then specialized deodorization equipment treats the air and porous materials where odors penetrate.
The process takes 24-48 hours depending on contamination severity and property size. When complete, odors are eliminated permanently—not covered up with air fresheners that wear off in days or weeks.
Stop using water immediately and avoid all contact with contaminated areas. Turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely, and never attempt cleanup yourself—sewage contains dangerous pathogens that require professional handling and protective equipment.
Call us immediately for emergency response, then contact your insurance company to report the claim. Take photos of damage from a safe distance for documentation, but don’t enter contaminated areas without proper protection.
Avoid using fans or opening windows, which spread contaminated particles throughout your property. Professional containment and controlled drying prevent contamination from reaching clean areas of your home or business.
Most residential sewage cleanup projects require 3-7 days depending on contamination extent and affected area size. Water extraction and initial sanitization happen within the first 24 hours, followed by 2-4 days of structural drying with continuous moisture monitoring.
Deodorization and final restoration work add 1-2 additional days to ensure your property meets safety standards and is completely odor-free. We monitor moisture levels throughout the process and don’t consider work complete until everything reaches industry standards for dryness.
Larger properties or extensive contamination may require additional time, but we provide daily progress updates and realistic timelines based on your specific situation. Complete restoration matters more than fast completion when your family’s health is at stake.
