Green Island Group has been cleaning up Long Island’s worst water disasters for years. We understand what Brentwood families face when sewage backs up into their basements.
This isn’t our first rodeo with Long Island’s high water table and aging sewer systems. We know how quickly sewage problems turn into health emergencies, and we know exactly how to fix them right the first time.
Our certified technicians arrive with industrial equipment designed for the worst-case scenarios. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for expertise that prevents the expensive mistakes that happen when this job gets done wrong.
We arrive within hours, not days. Our team assesses the contamination level and sets up containment barriers to protect unaffected areas of your home.
Next comes water extraction using powerful pumps designed for contaminated water. We remove every drop of standing sewage and begin structural drying with industrial dehumidifiers and air movers.
Then we disinfect everything. Walls, floors, belongings—anything the sewage touched gets treated with professional-grade antimicrobials that eliminate bacteria and viruses completely. Finally, we restore damaged materials and test air quality to ensure your home is genuinely safe for your family.

Real sewage cleanup goes beyond mopping up visible mess. In Brentwood, where the high water table makes basement flooding common, we understand the hidden dangers that DIY cleanup misses.
You get complete water extraction, structural drying, antimicrobial treatment, deodorization, and air quality testing. We handle contaminated material disposal following EPA regulations, coordinate directly with your insurance company, and provide documentation for claims.
For Brentwood residents dealing with recurring basement issues, we identify the source of backups and recommend preventative measures. Our local expertise means we understand how Long Island’s unique ground conditions contribute to sewage problems and how to address them permanently.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call. Sewage cleanup can’t wait—bacteria multiply rapidly, and mold can start growing within 24-48 hours.
Our Brentwood response time is faster than most companies because we understand the urgency. When sewage backs up into your home, every hour matters for preventing permanent damage and protecting your family’s health.
We keep emergency crews on standby specifically for situations like yours, with trucks pre-loaded with industrial extraction equipment and antimicrobial treatments.
Absolutely not. Sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illness through skin contact, inhalation, or accidental ingestion. DIY cleanup puts your family at risk and often makes the problem worse.
Professional cleanup requires specialized equipment, antimicrobial treatments not available to consumers, and proper disposal methods for contaminated materials. We follow EPA and NYS regulations that protect both your family and the environment.
The money you think you’re saving disappears quickly when DIY cleanup leads to mold growth, structural damage, or health issues that could have been prevented with proper professional treatment.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sewage cleanup when it results from sudden, accidental events like pipe bursts or sewer line breaks. We work directly with insurance companies and handle the billing process for you.
We document everything thoroughly, provide detailed reports, and communicate directly with adjusters to ensure your claim is processed smoothly. Our experience with insurance procedures means fewer delays and less stress for you during an already difficult situation.
Coverage varies by policy, so we review your specific situation and help you understand what’s covered before beginning work. Our goal is to eliminate surprise costs while ensuring your home gets the professional cleanup it needs.
Long Island’s high water table and aging infrastructure create unique challenges. The groundwater levels are often just feet below the surface, making basement flooding more common during heavy rains or when sewer systems become overwhelmed.
Many Brentwood homes were built when water levels were lower, so basements that were once dry now experience regular moisture issues. Combined with older sewer lines that are more prone to backups, this creates perfect conditions for sewage problems.
We understand these local conditions and adjust our cleanup methods accordingly. Our drying process accounts for Long Island’s humidity, and we know which preventative measures work best for homes dealing with high water tables.
Mold prevention starts immediately with rapid water extraction and structural drying. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all affected materials reach proper dryness levels within 24-48 hours.
Our antimicrobial treatments don’t just kill existing bacteria and viruses—they also prevent mold spores from establishing colonies. We treat all surfaces that contacted sewage, including areas behind walls and under flooring that you can’t see.
Before we consider the job complete, we conduct air quality testing to verify that moisture levels and microbial counts are within safe ranges. This scientific approach ensures mold won’t surprise you weeks later, which is what happens when cleanup isn’t done properly.
First, keep everyone away from the contaminated area, especially children and pets. Turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely from outside the flooded zone. Don’t walk through sewage water unless absolutely necessary.
Call us immediately—the sooner professional cleanup begins, the less damage occurs. While waiting, open windows for ventilation if possible, but don’t try to clean anything yourself. Take photos for insurance purposes, but avoid direct contact with contaminated surfaces.
Don’t use your plumbing until we determine the cause of the backup. Using toilets or drains can make the situation worse by adding more water to an already overwhelmed system. Professional assessment is crucial for preventing recurring problems.
