NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
A sewage backup isn’t just disgusting – it’s dangerous. Raw sewage carries hepatitis, salmonella, and other serious pathogens that can make your family sick.
After our sewage cleanup, you get a completely sanitized home that’s actually safe to live in. No hidden contamination lurking behind walls. No lingering health risks. No wondering if we missed something.
You’ll know the job was done right because your family can return home without worry.
Green Island Group has been handling sewage emergencies across Suffolk County for years. We understand Cherry Grove’s unique challenges as a Fire Island barrier island community.
Our technicians are biohazard-certified and equipped with truck-mounted extraction units designed for serious contamination. We’re not weekend warriors with shop vacs – we’re professionals with the right training and equipment.
Cherry Grove residents choose us because we do sewage cleanup right the first time, every time.
We start with a complete damage assessment to identify all contaminated areas. Sewage doesn’t just stay where you see it – it seeps into places that look clean but aren’t.
Next comes extraction using powerful truck-mounted equipment that removes contaminated water and unsalvageable materials. We contain the work area to prevent spreading contamination to clean parts of your home.
Finally, we sanitize every surface with hospital-grade disinfectants and use advanced structural drying techniques. We monitor moisture levels until everything reaches safe levels for your family’s return.

Our sewage cleanup includes water extraction, structural drying, deodorization, and sewage backup repairs. We handle everything from toilet overflows to major sewer line failures.
Cherry Grove’s location on Fire Island creates unique drainage challenges. The barrier island’s high water table and sandy soil can complicate sewage backups, especially during heavy rains or storm surges.
We know these local conditions inside and out. Our equipment is specifically chosen for Cherry Grove’s environment, and we coordinate directly with your insurance company to minimize your costs.
We respond 24/7 and typically arrive within an hour of your call. Speed matters with sewage cleanup because contamination spreads quickly and health risks multiply every hour you wait.
Our Suffolk County location means we’re never far from Cherry Grove. We keep fully equipped trucks ready for immediate response, even during storms or holidays when other companies might delay service.
Don’t wait for “normal business hours” – sewage emergencies can’t wait, and neither should you.
Yes, especially children, elderly family members, and anyone with breathing problems. Raw sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause serious illness through skin contact or breathing contaminated air.
We’ll tell you exactly when it’s safe to return – never before we’ve completed extraction, sanitization, and confirmed the air quality is safe. We don’t guess about your family’s health.
Most families can return within 24-48 hours, but we base that decision on actual test results, not arbitrary timelines.
Sewage is Category 3 “black water” – the most dangerous type of contamination according to industry standards. It requires specialized biohazard protocols that regular water damage companies don’t have.
We use hospital-grade disinfectants, containment barriers, and protective equipment designed for hazardous waste cleanup. Our technicians are trained in biohazard procedures that go far beyond basic water removal.
Regular water damage restoration won’t eliminate the health risks – you need professionals who understand contamination control.
Coverage depends on what caused the backup and your specific policy details. We work directly with insurance companies and can help determine your coverage before starting work.
Most policies cover sudden plumbing failures but may exclude municipal sewer backups. We document everything thoroughly and provide detailed reports to support your claim.
Our goal is to get your home restored with minimal out-of-pocket expense to you.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture removal using industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels in real-time to ensure everything reaches safe levels.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces and use specialized drying techniques that target hidden moisture in wall cavities and subfloors. Cherry Grove’s humid coastal climate makes thorough drying even more critical.
We don’t leave until moisture readings confirm your home won’t develop mold problems later.
Stop using all plumbing immediately and get everyone out of the contaminated area. Don’t try to clean it yourself – you’ll only spread contamination and risk your health.
Take photos for insurance if you can do so safely, then call us right away. Turn off electricity to the affected area if you can reach the breaker without walking through contamination.
The faster you call, the less damage you’ll have and the sooner your family can return home safely.
