NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You get your life back without the lingering smell, health risks, or structural damage that comes with sewage problems. Your home or business returns to a clean, safe environment where you can actually breathe easy again.
No more worrying about contaminated surfaces or hidden moisture causing mold growth. No more explaining to family, employees, or customers why your space smells or looks damaged.
Your property gets restored to its original condition, often better than before the incident occurred.
We at Green Island Group have been serving Nassau County families and businesses through their worst water damage emergencies. We understand that sewage cleanup isn’t just about removing water – it’s about protecting your health and getting your life back to normal.
Our team knows North Bellmore’s unique challenges, from the older sewer systems along Merrick Road to the residential areas that experience backup issues during heavy storms. We’ve seen it all and handled it all.
When you call us, you’re working with local professionals who live and work in your community.
We start with immediate water extraction to stop further damage and contamination spread. Our industrial-grade pumps and extraction equipment remove standing sewage water quickly and thoroughly.
Next comes structural drying using professional dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture from walls, floors, and hidden spaces where mold could develop. We monitor moisture levels until everything reaches safe, dry conditions.
Finally, we sanitize and deodorize every affected surface using EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments. This eliminates bacteria, viruses, and odors while making your space safe for occupancy again.

Your sewage cleanup includes water extraction, structural drying, antimicrobial treatment, deodorization, and complete restoration of damaged materials. We handle everything from carpet removal to drywall replacement when necessary.
North Bellmore properties often face unique challenges due to the area’s aging infrastructure and proximity to tidal influences. Heavy rains can overwhelm older sewer systems, causing backups in basements and ground-level areas.
Our team understands these local conditions and comes prepared with the right equipment and techniques for Nassau County’s specific sewage cleanup needs.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call. Sewage cleanup is time-sensitive because contaminated water poses immediate health risks and damage spreads rapidly.
Our emergency response team is always on standby with fully equipped vehicles ready to handle sewage extraction, containment, and initial sanitization. The faster we start, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs become.
Quick response also prevents secondary damage like mold growth, which can develop within 24-48 hours in moisture-rich environments.
Sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause serious illness through contact or inhalation. E. coli, hepatitis, and salmonella are common contaminants in raw sewage.
Children, elderly family members, and anyone with compromised immune systems face the highest risk. Even healthy adults can develop gastrointestinal illness, skin infections, or respiratory problems from exposure.
Professional cleanup eliminates these health hazards through proper extraction, sanitization, and antimicrobial treatment. DIY cleanup attempts often miss contaminated areas and leave dangerous pathogens behind.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden sewage backups, but coverage varies by policy and cause. Backup coverage is often an add-on that many homeowners don’t realize they need until problems occur.
We work directly with insurance companies and handle claim documentation to maximize your coverage. Our detailed damage assessments and restoration records help ensure proper claim processing.
Commercial policies typically include broader water damage coverage, but we review your specific policy terms and work within your coverage limits to provide necessary restoration services.
Most residential sewage cleanup takes 3-5 days depending on contamination extent and materials affected. Water extraction happens immediately, but structural drying requires 2-3 days with professional equipment.
Restoration timing depends on damage severity. Minor incidents may only require cleaning and sanitization, while major backups might need drywall replacement, flooring removal, or subflooring treatment.
We provide detailed timelines after initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is returning your property to safe, usable condition as quickly as possible while ensuring thorough cleanup.
Sewage cleanup involves contaminated “black water” containing bacteria, viruses, and toxic substances that require specialized handling and disposal. This is much more dangerous than clean water from burst pipes or roof leaks.
Black water requires complete removal of porous materials like carpet, padding, and sometimes drywall that cannot be safely cleaned. Everything gets treated with antimicrobial solutions and thoroughly dried.
Clean water restoration focuses on drying and dehumidification, while sewage cleanup emphasizes contamination removal and sanitization. The equipment, safety protocols, and disposal methods are completely different.
DIY sewage cleanup is dangerous and often ineffective because you lack professional equipment and safety training. Improper cleanup leaves contamination behind and creates ongoing health risks.
Consumer-grade equipment cannot extract water from structural materials or achieve the drying levels necessary to prevent mold growth. Professional moisture meters, industrial dehumidifiers, and antimicrobial treatments are essential for safe restoration.
Insurance companies often require professional cleanup documentation for coverage approval. DIY attempts can actually void your coverage and leave you responsible for all costs plus potential health consequences.
