Green Island Group has served countless Long Island homeowners and businesses, so we understand the specific conditions that cause sewage problems in Islip, NY. Clogged floor drains in basements are usually the first sign of a sewer line clog, as sewage can back up out of the floor drains and spill onto your basement floor.
Main sewer line disruptions are often due to tree roots that work their way inside drain pipes – a common issue in our tree-lined Suffolk County neighborhoods. We’ve handled these exact scenarios hundreds of times, which means we know how to fix the problem and prevent it from happening again.
We thoroughly inspect the affected area to determine the extent of the damage and identify any potential hazards. This assessment tells us exactly what needs to be done and helps your insurance adjuster understand the scope of work.
We use powerful equipment to remove sewage and contaminated water, followed by complete water extraction using truck-mounted units. We sanitize all affected surfaces and use advanced drying techniques to prevent mold growth.
The final step includes deodorization and minor repairs to restore your property to its original condition. This includes eliminating lingering odors with specialized treatments and addressing minor damage caused by the sewage backup.

Sewage backups can lead to exposure to harmful pathogens, including Hepatitis A, Tetanus, and Giardia. Floodwater may contain sewage water and germs, and direct exposure may infect your eyes, skin, stomach or intestines.
This is especially dangerous for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with chronic respiratory conditions or compromised immune systems. Our professional cleanup eliminates these health hazards completely, while DIY attempts often leave dangerous bacteria behind.

Raw sewage is classified as a category three water loss – the worst rating possible because of the health hazards involved. Sewage removal is a dangerous process due to the toxic microbes present in raw sewage waste, requiring specific equipment to ensure your family stays safe.
These types of water losses require the most intensive cleanup efforts, including complete sanitization, specialized disposal methods, and extensive safety protocols. Regular water damage doesn’t pose the same health risks or require the same level of protective equipment and procedures.
Dirt and sediment from basement floors, as well as water softeners, can build up inside floor drains and cause clogs, while main sewer line disruptions are often due to tree roots that work their way inside drain pipes.
Clogged floor drains in basements are usually the first sign of a sewer line clog, since they’re the lowest drain in your house and sewage backs up out of them onto your basement floor. If you live near many trees, video inspection every 1-5 years helps prevent major backups by catching root intrusion early.
