That’s what proper sewage cleanup looks like when it’s done right. Your family can use the space again without worry. Your business can operate normally. The nightmare is over, and you can move forward.
We don’t just remove the mess—we eliminate every trace of contamination and restore your property to its original condition.
Green Island Group has been handling sewage emergencies across Nassau County for years. We understand Hicksville’s unique flooding challenges and infrastructure issues that can lead to backups.
Our technicians are trained in proper safety protocols and environmental regulations. We’re not just cleanup crews—we’re certified professionals who know how to handle hazardous materials safely.
When Hicksville residents need emergency sewage cleanup, they call us because we show up fast, work efficiently, and get the job done right the first time.
First, we assess the situation completely. Our team inspects every affected area to identify contamination levels and potential hazards. This tells us exactly what needs to be done and how to do it safely.
Next comes extraction and removal. We use truck-mounted pumps and industrial vacuums to remove all sewage and contaminated water. This isn’t a job for regular shop vacs—we bring professional-grade equipment designed for this specific challenge.
Finally, we sanitize and dry everything thoroughly. We treat all surfaces with specialized disinfectants, then use advanced drying techniques to prevent mold growth. The space gets completely deodorized so there’s no trace of what happened.
Ready to get started?
Your sewage cleanup includes water extraction, structural drying, complete deodorization, and any necessary minor repairs. We handle everything from basement backups to main line failures.
Hicksville’s older infrastructure and seasonal weather patterns create specific challenges. Heavy rains can overwhelm aging sewer systems, and frozen pipes can cause backups when they thaw. We’ve seen it all and know how to address each situation properly.
We also work directly with your insurance company, handling the paperwork and billing process. You focus on getting back to normal while we handle the technical and administrative details.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within an hour of your call. Sewage situations get worse by the hour, so speed matters.
The longer contaminated water sits, the more damage it causes and the higher your health risks become. Our rapid response team is always ready to mobilize with the right equipment and expertise.
We understand that sewage emergencies don’t happen on a schedule. Whether it’s 2 AM on a Sunday or during a holiday, we’re available to help Hicksville residents when they need us most.
Raw sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illnesses including Hepatitis A, Tetanus, and Giardia. Children and elderly family members face the highest risk.
Exposure can happen through direct contact, breathing contaminated air, or touching surfaces that haven’t been properly sanitized. Even small amounts of sewage can create significant health hazards.
That’s why professional cleanup is essential. We don’t just remove the visible mess—we eliminate microscopic contaminants that you can’t see but that pose real health threats to your family.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden sewage backups, but coverage varies depending on the cause and your specific policy terms. We work directly with insurance companies to streamline the process.
We handle the documentation, photos, and paperwork your insurance company needs. In many cases, we can bill your insurance directly so you don’t have to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement.
The key is acting quickly and using certified professionals. Insurance companies prefer working with licensed contractors who follow proper procedures and can document the work properly.
Attempting DIY sewage cleanup puts your health at serious risk and often costs more in the long run. You need specialized equipment, protective gear, and proper disposal methods that most homeowners don’t have.
Without professional-grade extractors and sanitizers, you can’t remove all the contamination. What looks clean on the surface may still harbor dangerous bacteria and viruses that will continue causing problems.
Plus, improper cleanup often leads to mold growth, structural damage, and lingering odors that require professional remediation anyway. It’s safer and more cost-effective to call professionals from the start.
Most residential sewage cleanup projects take 2-4 days depending on the extent of contamination and affected areas. Basement backups typically take longer than single-room incidents.
The timeline includes extraction, sanitization, drying, and any necessary minor repairs. We can’t rush the drying process—proper moisture removal takes time and prevents mold growth later.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is thorough cleanup that prevents future problems, not just quick fixes that create more issues down the road.
We combine rapid emergency response with thorough, professional cleanup that eliminates all health hazards. Our technicians are certified in proper safety protocols and environmental regulations.
We use truck-mounted extraction equipment and advanced drying techniques that many smaller companies don’t have. This means faster, more complete cleanup with better results.
Most importantly, we understand Hicksville’s specific challenges with aging infrastructure and seasonal flooding. We’re not just cleaning up sewage—we’re solving the underlying problems that cause backups in this area.
