NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
When sewage hits your Bohemia property, you’re not just dealing with a mess—you’re facing serious health risks. Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that can make you and your family sick.
Our emergency sewage cleanup eliminates these health hazards completely. We don’t just remove the waste; we sanitize every affected surface using hospital-grade disinfectants that destroy bacteria and eliminate odors permanently.
You get your property back to a safe, livable condition faster than you thought possible. No lingering smells, no hidden contamination, no worries about what might be growing behind your walls.
Green Island Group has been handling sewage emergencies across Bohemia and Long Island for years. We know how quickly sewage situations can escalate, which is why we’re available around the clock.
Our technicians are fully licensed, insured, and trained in proper sewage cleanup protocols. We understand Long Island’s unique plumbing challenges—from older sewer systems to seasonal flooding issues that affect Bohemia homes.
When you call us, you’re not getting passed around to different departments. Our team communicates directly with you throughout the entire process, and management stays involved to ensure the job gets done right.
First, we assess the situation and contain the affected area to prevent contamination from spreading. Our team arrives with protective equipment and creates barriers to keep your family safe during cleanup.
Next comes extraction and removal using powerful pumps and specialized equipment. We remove all sewage, contaminated water, and any materials that can’t be properly sanitized. This isn’t a job for shop vacuums—we use truck-mounted extraction units designed specifically for hazardous waste.
Finally, we sanitize and dry everything thoroughly. Hospital-grade disinfectants eliminate bacteria and pathogens, while our advanced drying equipment prevents mold growth. We test moisture levels to ensure complete drying before we consider the job finished.

Our sewage cleanup service includes water extraction, structural drying, deodorization, and complete sanitization. We handle sewage backup repairs and work directly with your insurance company to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
Bohemia’s location on Long Island means properties here face unique challenges. Older homes often have aging sewer lines, and the area’s proximity to water can create additional moisture issues. We understand these local factors and adjust our approach accordingly.
You also get our guarantee that the job is done right. We conduct thorough inspections after cleanup to ensure all contamination is eliminated and your property meets safety standards. If you’re not completely satisfied, we come back and make it right.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within one hour of your call. Sewage emergencies can’t wait—the longer contaminated water sits, the more damage it causes and the greater the health risks become.
Our rapid response includes immediate containment to prevent the sewage from spreading to unaffected areas. We bring all necessary equipment on the first visit, so we can start extraction and cleanup immediately rather than making multiple trips.
Time is critical with sewage cleanup because bacteria multiply quickly in warm, moist conditions. Our fast response helps minimize both property damage and health risks to your family.
Raw sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illnesses. Common health risks include Hepatitis A, E. coli infections, Salmonella, Giardia, and respiratory problems from airborne contaminants.
Children, elderly individuals, and anyone with compromised immune systems face the highest risk. Even brief exposure can lead to gastrointestinal illness, skin infections, and respiratory issues that may require medical treatment.
This is why professional cleanup is essential—we have the training and equipment to eliminate these health hazards completely. DIY cleanup puts your family at unnecessary risk because household cleaners aren’t strong enough to destroy all the harmful microorganisms in sewage.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies do cover sewage backup cleanup, but coverage varies depending on the cause of the backup and your specific policy terms. We work directly with insurance companies and understand what documentation they require.
We handle all the insurance paperwork and can bill your insurance company directly in many cases. This means you don’t have to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement—we deal with the insurance process so you can focus on getting your life back to normal.
Our team documents everything thoroughly, takes detailed photos, and provides the reports your insurance company needs to process your claim quickly. We’ve worked with virtually every major insurance carrier and know how to present your claim for the best possible outcome.
Preventing mold growth requires complete moisture removal and proper drying techniques. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate all moisture from affected areas, including inside walls and under flooring where moisture can hide.
Our moisture detection equipment identifies wet areas that aren’t visible to the naked eye. We monitor humidity levels throughout the drying process and don’t consider the job complete until all materials reach proper moisture content levels.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold spores from taking hold. These treatments create an environment where mold can’t grow, even if minor moisture issues develop later. This comprehensive approach is why our customers don’t experience mold problems after sewage cleanup.
Sewage cleanup requires specialized training, equipment, and safety protocols because you’re dealing with hazardous waste, not clean water. Our technicians wear protective suits and respirators, and we use hospital-grade disinfectants that aren’t necessary for clean water damage.
The disposal process is also different—contaminated materials must be handled as hazardous waste and disposed of according to environmental regulations. We can’t simply dry out sewage-contaminated materials like we would with clean water damage.
Sewage cleanup also requires more thorough testing and documentation to ensure all health hazards are eliminated. We test for bacteria levels and conduct air quality assessments to verify that your property is safe for occupancy before we consider the job complete.
Most residential sewage cleanup projects take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on the extent of contamination and the size of the affected area. Emergency extraction and containment happen immediately, usually within hours of our arrival.
The drying process typically takes 2-4 days, during which we monitor moisture levels and adjust equipment as needed. We can’t rush this phase because incomplete drying leads to mold problems later.
Larger commercial properties or severe contamination may take longer, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your life or business. We provide daily updates on our progress and give you realistic timelines so you can plan accordingly.
