NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk back into a home that’s completely safe, sanitized, and restored. No lingering odors, no health hazards, no reminders of what happened. Just your normal life back on track.
The difference between DIY cleanup and professional restoration isn’t just thoroughness—it’s your family’s health. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that standard cleaning products can’t eliminate.
We handle everything from initial water extraction through final deodorization, so you can focus on getting back to normal instead of worrying about hidden contamination or structural damage.
Green Island Group has been serving Suffolk County homeowners for years, and we understand the unique challenges that Long Island properties face. From aging sewer systems to high water tables, we’ve seen it all.
Our technicians are trained specifically for the conditions here in Islip Manor. We know how quickly problems can escalate in our climate, and we respond accordingly—usually within hours of your call.
When your neighbors need sewage cleanup, they call us because we treat every property like it’s our own and every family like they’re part of our community.
First, we assess the damage and identify any safety hazards. Our technicians inspect the affected areas to understand exactly what we’re dealing with and develop a plan that addresses every concern.
Next comes extraction and removal. We use powerful truck-mounted equipment to remove all sewage and contaminated water, followed by the removal of any materials that can’t be safely restored.
Finally, we sanitize and dry everything thoroughly. We apply EPA-approved disinfectants to eliminate bacteria and viruses, then use advanced drying techniques to prevent mold growth. We don’t consider the job done until your property is completely safe and restored to its pre-loss condition.

Our sewage cleanup service includes water extraction, structural drying, deodorization, and sewage backup repairs. We also handle insurance documentation and can bill your insurance company directly.
In Islip Manor, we see sewage backups caused by everything from tree roots in aging pipes to storm overflow in our older sewer systems. Many homes in our area were built decades ago, and the infrastructure reflects that age.
We’re equipped to handle both the immediate cleanup and any necessary repairs. Our team understands local building codes and works with your insurance company to ensure you get the coverage you deserve without the paperwork headaches.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within hours of your call, day or night. Time is critical with sewage backups because the longer contaminated water sits, the more damage it causes and the greater the health risks become.
Our rapid response team is specifically equipped for sewage emergencies. We bring truck-mounted extraction equipment and can begin removing contaminated water immediately upon arrival.
The sooner we start the cleanup process, the more of your property we can save and the faster we can get your home back to normal. Don’t wait—call us the moment you discover the backup.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental sewage backups, but coverage varies depending on your specific policy and the cause of the backup. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you navigate the claims process.
We provide detailed documentation of all damage and cleanup procedures, which insurance companies require for claims processing. Our team understands what insurers need to see and can often bill them directly, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses.
The key is acting quickly and using a professional restoration company. Insurance companies prefer working with certified professionals who follow industry standards for health and safety compliance.
Raw sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites including E. coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, and Giardia. Direct contact or breathing contaminated air can cause serious illness, especially in children, elderly family members, and anyone with compromised immune systems.
The health risks extend beyond immediate contact. Sewage that isn’t properly cleaned creates ideal conditions for mold growth, which can cause respiratory problems and allergic reactions long after the initial backup.
Professional cleanup eliminates these health hazards completely. We use EPA-approved disinfectants and follow strict protocols to ensure your home is safe for your family to return to.
We strongly advise against DIY sewage cleanup due to serious health and safety risks. Consumer-grade cleaning products aren’t powerful enough to eliminate the bacteria and viruses present in raw sewage, and improper cleanup can lead to long-term contamination and mold growth.
Professional sewage cleanup requires specialized equipment, EPA-approved disinfectants, and trained technicians who understand proper safety protocols. The cost of doing it wrong the first time—including potential health issues and property damage—far exceeds professional cleanup costs.
Most insurance policies cover professional sewage cleanup, making the actual cost to you minimal while ensuring your family’s safety and your property’s complete restoration.
Most sewage cleanup projects take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on the extent of contamination and damage. The initial extraction and removal typically happens within the first day, followed by sanitization and structural drying.
The drying process is critical and can’t be rushed. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers that must run continuously for 72 hours to ensure complete moisture removal. This prevents mold growth and structural damage.
We’ll keep you informed throughout the process and conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets our standards before considering the job complete. Your safety and satisfaction are worth taking the time to do it right.
The most common causes in our area are tree root intrusion into aging sewer lines, clogged pipes from grease and debris buildup, and storm overflow during heavy rainfall. Many homes in Islip Manor were built decades ago when sewer systems weren’t designed for today’s usage patterns.
Tree roots are particularly problematic here because they’re attracted to moisture in pipe joints and can grow extensively once they find a water source. Combined with our area’s older infrastructure, this creates perfect conditions for backups.
Heavy storms can overwhelm municipal sewer systems, causing backups through floor drains and basement fixtures. Regular maintenance and professional inspections can help prevent many of these issues, but when backups do occur, quick professional response is essential.
