NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
Raw sewage doesn’t just smell terrible—it breeds dangerous bacteria and viruses that threaten your family’s health. Every hour you wait, contamination spreads deeper into floors, walls, and the air you breathe.
Our certified technicians arrive with industrial-grade extraction equipment, not basic shop vacuums. We remove every trace of contaminated water, sanitize affected surfaces with hospital-grade disinfectants, and use advanced drying techniques to prevent mold growth.
You get your home back to a safe, livable condition. No lingering odors, no hidden health hazards, no wondering if the job was done correctly.
Green Island Group has served Long Island homeowners for years, and we understand what makes Gilgo Beach different. Your low-lying coastal location, just feet above the water table, makes sewage backups more likely during storms and high tides.
We’ve handled everything from minor backups to major flood-related sewage emergencies across Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Our team knows how to work quickly in challenging conditions while following all safety protocols.
When Gilgo Beach residents need sewage cleanup that actually works, they call us because we’ve proven ourselves in situations just like yours.
First, we assess the full scope of contamination using advanced detection equipment. We identify not just what you can see, but sewage that’s seeped behind walls, under floors, or into hard-to-reach areas.
Next, we extract all contaminated water and waste using powerful truck-mounted equipment. We don’t just remove standing sewage—we extract moisture from affected materials to prevent bacterial growth and structural damage.
Finally, we sanitize every affected surface with EPA-approved disinfectants and set up industrial dehumidifiers to complete the drying process. We don’t leave until your property is safe, dry, and restored to pre-damage condition.

Time is critical with sewage backups because bacteria multiply rapidly and contamination spreads quickly through porous materials like drywall and flooring.

Raw sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illness through skin contact, inhalation, or accidental ingestion. Common health risks include hepatitis A, E. coli infections, gastroenteritis, and respiratory problems.
Children, elderly family members, and anyone with compromised immune systems face higher risks from sewage exposure. Even sewage that looks relatively clean can contain invisible pathogens that make people sick.
This is why professional cleanup is essential—we use proper protective equipment and EPA-approved disinfectants to eliminate health hazards completely. DIY cleanup attempts often leave dangerous contamination behind because household cleaners aren’t strong enough to kill sewage-borne pathogens.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture removal using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. Gilgo Beach’s coastal humidity makes thorough drying even more critical than in other areas.
We use thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture behind walls and under floors where mold typically starts growing. Our drying process continues until moisture levels return to normal ranges—not just until surfaces feel dry.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected areas and monitor humidity levels throughout the process. In Gilgo Beach’s high-humidity environment, we often run equipment longer than inland properties to ensure complete drying and mold prevention.
Sewage cleanup requires specialized equipment, training, and safety protocols because you’re dealing with Category 3 “black water” contamination. Unlike clean water damage, sewage contains dangerous pathogens that can make people seriously ill.
Our technicians wear full protective gear and use EPA-approved disinfectants specifically designed for sewage contamination. We can’t just extract water and dry—we must sanitize every affected surface to eliminate health hazards.
Materials like drywall, insulation, and carpeting often need complete replacement after sewage exposure because they can’t be properly disinfected. We follow strict protocols to contain contamination and dispose of affected materials safely according to local regulations.
