NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk into a clean, safe space where the nightmare never happened. The overwhelming smell is gone. The health risks are eliminated. Your family can breathe easy again.
That’s what professional sewage cleanup delivers. No lingering odors haunting your home. No dangerous bacteria threatening your loved ones. No structural damage eating away at your property value.
Franklin Square homeowners face unique challenges with our area’s high water table and aging infrastructure. When sewage backup hits, you need more than basic cleanup—you need complete restoration that addresses Nassau County’s specific conditions.
Green Island Group has served Franklin Square and Nassau County for years, understanding exactly what causes sewage problems in our area. We’ve seen how Long Island’s porous limestone and high water tables create the perfect storm for backups.
Our technicians know Franklin Square’s infrastructure challenges. We’ve handled everything from minor basement backups to major sewage emergencies across Nassau County. When other companies are still figuring out the problem, we’re already implementing the solution.
You’re not getting a generic approach. You’re getting professionals who understand why sewage problems happen here and how to fix them permanently.
First, we assess the situation completely. Our technicians identify contamination levels, check for structural damage, and map out exactly what needs immediate attention. You’ll know the full scope before we start.
Next comes extraction and removal. We use truck-mounted equipment that pulls out sewage and contaminated water faster than portable units. Every drop gets removed, including hidden moisture that causes problems later.
Finally, we sanitize and dry everything thoroughly. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers eliminate moisture that breeds mold. EPA-approved disinfectants kill bacteria and viruses. Your property gets restored to pre-loss condition, not just “good enough.”

Our sewage cleanup includes water extraction using powerful truck-mounted pumps, structural drying with industrial equipment, and complete deodorization that eliminates odors at the source. We handle sewage backup repairs and any minor damage the incident caused.
Franklin Square’s location makes properties vulnerable to multiple sewage backup triggers. Heavy rains overwhelm aging sewer systems. Tree roots infiltrate pipes seeking moisture. Grease buildup blocks main lines. Our local experience means we address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Nassau County homeowners also receive direct insurance billing assistance. We document everything properly, communicate directly with adjusters, and handle the paperwork that makes claims move faster.
We provide 24/7 emergency sewage cleanup response throughout Franklin Square and Nassau County, typically arriving within hours of your call. Sewage backup creates immediate health hazards that worsen every minute—bacteria multiply, contamination spreads, and property damage increases.
Our emergency hotline (631-256-5711) connects you directly with dispatch, not an answering service. We keep trucks stocked with extraction equipment, industrial drying tools, and EPA-approved disinfectants ready for immediate deployment.
Time matters in sewage emergencies. The faster we start extraction and sanitization, the less damage your property suffers and the lower your restoration costs become.
Sewage contains dangerous bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter that cause severe illness through skin contact or inhalation. Viruses including Hepatitis A and Norovirus spread rapidly through contaminated surfaces. Parasites and other pathogens create additional health threats, especially for children and elderly family members.
Raw sewage also releases toxic gases like methane, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide. These gases can cause respiratory problems, dizziness, and other serious health issues. Even small exposures create risks that DIY cleanup can’t address safely.
Professional sewage cleanup eliminates these health hazards completely. We use proper protective equipment, EPA-registered disinfectants, and specialized techniques that destroy pathogens and neutralize toxic gases.
Sewage cleanup costs depend on contamination extent, affected area size, and damage severity. Small bathroom backups typically cost less than basement flooding incidents. However, attempting DIY cleanup often creates larger problems that cost significantly more to fix later.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sewage backup when caused by covered events. We work directly with insurance companies, handling documentation and communication that helps claims process smoothly. Many customers pay only their deductible.
We provide detailed estimates before starting work, explaining exactly what each service accomplishes. No surprise charges or hidden fees—you’ll know the total investment upfront and understand what you’re receiving for that cost.
Franklin Square’s high water table and porous limestone create unique challenges for sewage systems. Heavy rains quickly saturate soil, overwhelming drainage capacity and forcing sewage back through floor drains and fixtures. Tree roots seek moisture from aging pipes, creating blockages that cause backups.
Nassau County’s older infrastructure also contributes to problems. Many sewer lines were installed decades ago and struggle with current usage demands. Grease buildup, non-biodegradable materials flushed down toilets, and normal wear create additional backup triggers.
Our local experience helps us identify why your specific backup occurred and implement solutions that prevent recurrence. We understand Franklin Square’s infrastructure challenges and address root causes, not just symptoms.
DIY sewage cleanup exposes you to serious health risks and often creates larger problems that cost more to fix professionally. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause severe illness. Proper cleanup requires specialized equipment, EPA-approved disinfectants, and safety protocols that protect your health.
Hidden moisture from inadequate drying leads to mold growth within 24-72 hours. Improper sanitization leaves contamination that creates ongoing health hazards. Insurance companies may deny claims when DIY cleanup attempts cause additional damage or fail to meet restoration standards.
Professional sewage cleanup costs less than dealing with health problems, mold remediation, and structural repairs that result from inadequate cleanup. We have the training, equipment, and experience to handle sewage safely and completely the first time.
Preventing mold after sewage cleanup requires complete moisture elimination and proper sanitization. We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers that remove moisture from structural materials, not just surface areas. Moisture meters confirm materials reach safe dryness levels before we consider the job complete.
Franklin Square’s humid climate makes thorough drying especially critical. Our equipment runs continuously until moisture levels drop below mold growth thresholds. We also apply antimicrobial treatments that prevent mold spores from taking hold during the drying process.
Proper ventilation and air filtration remove airborne contaminants that contribute to mold problems. We monitor conditions throughout the drying process, adjusting equipment as needed to maintain optimal restoration environment and prevent secondary damage.
