Raw sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illnesses including hepatitis, tetanus, and gastroenteritis. Children and elderly family members face the highest risk from sewage exposure.
Sewage also creates airborne contaminants that can trigger respiratory problems and allergic reactions. Even small amounts of sewage can contaminate large areas of your home through absorption into porous materials.
Professional cleanup eliminates these health hazards through proper containment, removal, and sanitization procedures. DIY cleanup attempts often spread contamination and leave dangerous bacteria behind in hidden areas.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden sewage backups caused by blocked municipal sewer lines or overwhelmed systems. Coverage typically includes cleanup, sanitization, and restoration of damaged materials.
We work directly with all major insurance companies and can handle direct billing to simplify the claims process. Our team documents everything thoroughly and provides detailed reports that insurance adjusters need for claim approval.
Before starting work, we’ll review your policy coverage and explain what costs are likely to be covered. This prevents surprises and helps you make informed decisions about the scope of cleanup needed.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture removal using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor humidity levels throughout the drying process to ensure all affected materials reach safe moisture content.
Antimicrobial treatments applied during sanitization create hostile conditions for mold growth. We also remove any porous materials that can’t be properly cleaned, like soaked drywall or carpet padding that could harbor mold later.
Our final inspection includes moisture readings of all affected areas. We don’t consider the job complete until moisture levels are below the threshold where mold can develop, typically within 24-48 hours of cleanup completion.
First, keep everyone away from the contaminated area, especially children and pets. Don’t walk through sewage water or attempt to clean it yourself—this spreads contamination and exposes you to dangerous bacteria.
Turn off electricity to affected areas if it’s safe to do so, and avoid using electrical appliances near sewage water. Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes, but do this quickly without prolonged exposure.
Call Green Island Group immediately for emergency response. The sooner professional cleanup begins, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs will be. Time is critical with sewage emergencies.
Most residential sewage cleanup projects in Melville take 2-4 days from start to finish, depending on the extent of contamination and affected square footage. Emergency extraction and sanitization typically occur on day one.
Structural drying requires 24-72 hours with our industrial equipment running continuously. We monitor progress daily and adjust equipment as needed to ensure complete moisture removal before declaring the area safe.
Larger properties or those with extensive contamination may require additional time. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process so you can plan accordingly for temporary housing if needed.
