Green Island Group has handled sewage emergencies throughout Nassau County for years. We know Island Trees – the older homes with aging plumbing, the mature trees whose roots find their way into sewer lines, and how quickly problems escalate during heavy rains.
Your neighbors have called us during their worst moments, and we’ve helped them get through it. We understand the stress you’re feeling right now because we’ve seen it countless times. This isn’t just another job for us – it’s helping our community when we need it most.
We respond immediately because every hour matters when dealing with sewage contamination. While other companies might put you on a waiting list, we prioritize emergencies and get to work protecting your health and property right away.
We start with a complete damage assessment. Our technicians identify every contaminated area, test moisture levels, and map out exactly what needs attention. You’ll know the full scope before we begin, with no surprises later.
Next comes extraction and removal using truck-mounted equipment that pulls out sewage, contaminated water, and moisture that’s soaked into materials. This isn’t something you can handle with household equipment – it requires industrial-grade tools and specialized training.
The final phase is sanitization and structural drying. We treat all affected surfaces with hospital-grade disinfectants, eliminate odors with professional deodorization equipment, and run industrial dehumidifiers until moisture levels are completely safe. We don’t leave until your home passes our strict safety standards.

Our sewage cleanup service includes everything needed to restore your Island Trees property: water extraction with powerful pumps, structural drying using industrial dehumidifiers, complete deodorization to eliminate all odors, and sewage backup repairs to address any damage.
Island Trees faces unique challenges that we handle regularly. The area’s established neighborhoods have mature trees whose roots commonly invade sewer lines. Nassau County’s older infrastructure can get overwhelmed during heavy rainfall, causing backups in basements and lower levels. Many homes built decades ago have plumbing systems that are more vulnerable to failures.
We’re available 24/7 because sewage emergencies happen at the worst possible times. Our rapid response minimizes health risks, prevents additional damage, and reduces the overall cost of cleanup. We also work directly with your insurance company to handle claims and paperwork, taking that burden off your shoulders during an already stressful time.
We typically arrive within one hour of your call, 24/7 throughout Island Trees and Nassau County. Sewage emergencies can’t wait because contamination spreads rapidly and health risks increase every hour the problem persists.
Our emergency response teams are strategically positioned to serve Nassau County quickly. When you call, we immediately dispatch the nearest available crew with all necessary equipment. We understand you’re dealing with a health hazard that needs immediate professional attention.
Fast response also protects your property. The longer sewage remains in contact with flooring, walls, and belongings, the more extensive the damage becomes. Quick action saves you money and reduces the scope of restoration needed.
Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, viruses including hepatitis, and parasites that cause serious illness. Direct contact or even breathing contaminated air can lead to gastrointestinal problems, respiratory infections, skin diseases, and more severe conditions.
Children, elderly family members, and anyone with compromised immune systems face the highest risk. Even small amounts of exposure can cause significant health problems. This is why you should never attempt DIY sewage cleanup – professional equipment and safety protocols are essential.
We eliminate all health hazards using EPA-approved disinfectants and following strict safety procedures. Our technicians wear full protective equipment and ensure your home is completely safe before your family returns.
Coverage depends on what caused the backup and your specific policy details. Standard homeowner’s insurance often excludes sewage backups unless you have additional water backup coverage. However, if the backup resulted from a covered peril like a burst pipe, you may have coverage.
We work with insurance companies regularly and understand how to document claims properly. Our detailed reports and photos help support your claim, and we can communicate directly with adjusters to explain the work performed and why it was necessary.
Even without full insurance coverage, professional cleanup is essential. The health risks and potential for extensive property damage far outweigh the cleanup costs. We can discuss payment options to help make professional restoration affordable.
Mold prevention requires complete moisture elimination using industrial drying equipment. We deploy dehumidifiers, air movers, and specialized drying tools that remove moisture from materials much more effectively than household fans or dehumidifiers.
Our technicians use moisture meters to test affected materials and ensure they reach safe dryness levels. We don’t rely on visual inspection alone – we have specific moisture targets that must be met before we consider areas properly dried. This process typically takes 3-5 days depending on the extent of contamination.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments that inhibit mold growth and monitor the drying process continuously. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours, so our immediate response and thorough drying process are critical for prevention.
Tree root intrusion is extremely common in Island Trees due to the area’s mature trees. Roots seek moisture and can penetrate even small cracks in sewer lines, eventually causing major blockages. We see this frequently in neighborhoods with established landscaping.
Heavy rainfall overwhelms Nassau County’s aging sewer infrastructure, causing backups in lower-level areas. Combined with the area’s high water table, this creates perfect conditions for basement and ground-floor sewage problems during storms.
Aging plumbing systems in older Island Trees homes are also more prone to clogs from grease buildup, inappropriate items being flushed, or general deterioration. Municipal sewer line problems occasionally affect multiple properties in the same area.
Yes, we handle sewage cleanup for all property types in Island Trees – single-family homes, apartments, retail spaces, offices, and industrial facilities. Commercial properties often require faster response times to minimize business interruption and meet health department requirements.
Commercial sewage cleanup involves additional considerations like after-hours access, employee safety, customer protection, and regulatory compliance. We coordinate with property managers and business owners to minimize disruption while ensuring thorough cleanup.
Our equipment and crew size scale to match the project. Whether it’s a small residential backup or a large commercial emergency, we have the resources and expertise to handle the situation efficiently while maintaining the highest safety standards.
