NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You’re dealing with more than just a mess. Raw sewage contains dangerous bacteria and viruses that threaten your family’s health. The longer it sits, the deeper it penetrates into your floors, walls, and belongings.
We eliminate every trace of contamination using hospital-grade disinfectants and specialized extraction equipment. Your property gets completely sanitized, properly dried, and restored to a safe, healthy environment. No shortcuts, no lingering smells, no health hazards left behind.
The result? You can breathe easy knowing your home is truly clean and your family is protected.
Green Island Group has been handling sewage emergencies across Long Island for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with Nassau County properties – from aging infrastructure to the coastal flooding that makes Oceanside particularly vulnerable to backups.
Recent severe weather on Long Island, including record rainfall that hit 9.4 inches in 24 hours, proves why local expertise matters. We’ve seen how quickly conditions can change here, and we’re ready to respond.
Our certified technicians live and work in this community. When you call, you’re getting neighbors who understand exactly what you’re facing and how to fix it properly.
First, we assess the full extent of contamination using advanced moisture detection equipment. This isn’t just about what you can see – sewage can hide behind walls and under floors, creating problems you won’t discover until it’s too late.
Next comes complete water extraction using powerful truck-mounted units, followed by removal of all contaminated materials that can’t be safely restored. We don’t take chances with your health.
Finally, we sanitize every affected surface with hospital-grade disinfectants, then use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers for thorough structural drying. We test moisture levels to ensure everything is completely dry before we consider the job finished.

Your sewage cleanup includes complete water extraction, structural drying, deodorization, and minor repairs. We handle insurance paperwork and work directly with your carrier to streamline the claims process.
Nassau County faces regular coastal flooding risks, especially during storm season when moderate to major flooding affects south shore areas. That’s why we stock specialized equipment specifically for the challenges Oceanside properties face.
We also coordinate any necessary permits and work with local authorities to ensure everything meets Nassau County requirements. You get one point of contact for the entire restoration process, from emergency response through final inspection.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Nassau County, typically arriving within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time is critical with sewage backups because contamination spreads rapidly and health risks increase with every hour of exposure.
Our trucks are strategically positioned to serve Oceanside and surrounding areas quickly. We understand that sewage emergencies don’t happen on a schedule, which is why our certified technicians are always on standby with fully equipped vehicles ready to respond immediately.
Exposure to waste water from a sewage backup can result in a number of diseases, including Hepatitis A, Tetanus and Giardia. Raw sewage can be extremely hazardous to your health and is classified as a category three water loss (the worst rating possible!)
Children and elderly family members face the highest risk, especially those with respiratory conditions. Even brief contact with contaminated surfaces can cause serious illness. That’s why professional cleanup isn’t optional – it’s essential for protecting your family’s health and safety.
Most standard homeowner’s policies don’t automatically cover sewage backups, but many Nassau County residents have added sewage backup endorsements to their policies. We work directly with all major insurance carriers and can help determine your coverage.
We handle all insurance paperwork and communicate directly with adjusters to streamline your claim. If you have coverage, we can often arrange direct billing so you don’t have upfront costs during an already stressful situation. We’ll review your policy details and explain exactly what’s covered before starting any work.
We use advanced moisture detection equipment to identify contamination that’s not visible to the naked eye. Sewage can penetrate deep into porous materials like drywall, insulation, and subflooring, creating hidden health hazards if not properly addressed.
Our process includes complete removal of any materials that cannot be safely restored, followed by hospital-grade disinfection of all affected surfaces. We test moisture levels throughout the drying process and conduct final inspections to verify that your property meets safety standards before we consider the job complete.
Stop using all plumbing immediately to prevent additional backup. Avoid contact with contaminated water and keep family members and pets away from the affected area. Don’t attempt to clean anything yourself – sewage requires specialized equipment and safety protocols.
Call us right away for emergency response. While waiting for our arrival, take photos for insurance documentation if you can do so safely. Turn off electricity to affected areas if water has reached outlets or electrical equipment, but only if you can access the breaker box safely.
Most residential sewage cleanups take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on the extent of contamination and materials affected. Emergency extraction and initial sanitization happen on day one, followed by structural drying which typically takes 2-3 days.
The timeline can extend if significant reconstruction is needed or if contamination has spread to multiple rooms. We provide detailed timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is thorough restoration that’s done right the first time, even if it takes a few extra days to ensure your family’s safety.
