NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk back into a home that’s not just clean—it’s completely sanitized and safe for your family. No lingering sewage smells. No hidden moisture creating mold problems later. No wondering if dangerous bacteria are still lurking in corners you can’t see.
When sewage cleanup is handled right, your biggest worry becomes a memory. We use hospital-grade disinfectants and advanced moisture detection equipment that finds contamination other companies miss.
The stress disappears when trained professionals handle the hazardous work while you focus on getting your life back to normal.
Green Island Group knows Coram’s sewage challenges inside and out. We’ve handled everything from tree root invasions in older neighborhoods to backup issues caused by Long Island’s shifting sandy soil.
Our certified technicians understand how coastal weather affects sewer systems here. We know which Coram streets have older cast iron pipes prone to failure and where heavy rains typically cause the most problems.
When your neighbors need sewage cleanup, they call us because we’ve earned our reputation handling Suffolk County emergencies for years. We follow all NYS and EPA safety regulations while working fast to get your property restored.
We arrive in full protective gear within hours to contain the contamination and assess the damage. First priority is stopping the spread of sewage to unaffected areas while documenting everything for your insurance claim.
Next comes complete water extraction using industrial pumps, followed by structural drying and thorough sanitization. We treat every surface with EPA-approved disinfectants that eliminate bacteria, viruses, and odor-causing agents.
Finally, we restore damaged materials—from drywall replacement to flooring repairs—until your property looks and smells exactly like it did before. Our final inspection ensures everything meets safety standards before you move back in.

Your sewage cleanup includes everything: water extraction, structural drying, deodorization, sanitization, and rebuilding damaged areas. We don’t just remove the mess—we restore your property to its original condition.
Coram homeowners deal with unique challenges. Long Island’s sandy soil shifts after heavy rains, cracking sewer connections. Tree roots from mature neighborhoods work their way into older pipes. We’ve seen these problems countless times and know exactly how to fix them.
We also handle your insurance paperwork and work directly with adjusters to get claims approved quickly. Most sewage cleanup costs run $2,000-$10,000, but proper documentation and professional handling makes all the difference in getting covered.
We’re usually at your door within 2-4 hours, day or night, weekends and holidays included. Sewage emergencies can’t wait—every hour increases health risks and property damage.
Our emergency crews stay ready throughout Long Island specifically for urgent calls like yours. We bring everything needed on the first trip: industrial pumps, protective equipment, sanitizers, and moisture detection tools.
The faster we respond, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs. That’s why we maintain 24/7 availability instead of making you wait until regular business hours.
Raw sewage carries harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause serious illnesses—Hepatitis A, Tetanus, Giardia, and other infections. You can get sick through direct contact, breathing contaminated air, or touching surfaces that look clean but aren’t properly sanitized.
Kids and elderly family members face the highest risk, especially anyone with breathing problems. Even after visible sewage gets removed, dangerous microorganisms hide in carpet padding, drywall, and subflooring.
Professional cleanup using hospital-grade disinfectants is the only way to eliminate these health hazards completely. DIY attempts usually miss contaminated areas and put your family in danger unnecessarily.
Most standard policies don’t cover sewage backup unless you added a specific endorsement—which costs about $143 yearly in New York. But if the backup happened suddenly (like from a burst pipe), your regular coverage might help.
The key is having proper documentation of what caused the damage and how extensive it is. Insurance companies want detailed proof before approving claims.
We work directly with your insurance company and provide all the documentation they need: photos, damage reports, and repair estimates. Our experience with insurance procedures helps get your claim approved faster and for the maximum amount possible.
The biggest culprit is stuff that shouldn’t go down drains—grease, wipes, and other items that create blockages. Tree roots are another major problem here. Roots travel surprisingly far to find water and squeeze into tiny cracks in sewer lines.
Long Island’s sandy soil shifts more than most people realize, especially after storms or during freeze-thaw cycles. This ground movement cracks sewer pipes and disconnects joints, leading to backups.
Heavy rains also overwhelm older sewer systems in Coram. Many neighborhoods have aging cast iron pipes that corrode and clog over time, making backups more likely during storms.
If sewage odors stick around, it means contamination is still there—usually in porous materials or hidden spots that weren’t cleaned properly. We use advanced deodorization that destroys odor-causing bacteria at the molecular level, not just covers up smells.
Our process removes all contaminated materials that can’t be saved, then treats remaining surfaces with specialized enzymes and ozone treatment. We check subflooring, wall cavities, and air ducts where odors hide.
If smells come back after cleanup, the job wasn’t thorough enough. Our ultra-deep cleaning eliminates odors permanently because we treat the contamination source, not just surface areas.
Professional sewage cleanup uses industrial equipment, hospital-grade disinfectants, and safety protocols you can’t get at the hardware store. We have specialized tools like moisture meters, air scrubbers, and containment systems that prevent spreading contamination.
DIY attempts usually miss hidden contamination in walls, subflooring, and other areas where sewage penetrates. Without proper protective gear and training, you risk serious health exposure and often make the problem worse.
Professional service also includes proper hazardous waste disposal, insurance documentation, and final testing to prove complete decontamination. The small cost difference between DIY and professional cleanup isn’t worth the health risks and potential for incomplete results.
