NYS and NYC M/WBE Certified Contractor
You walk back into a home that’s not just clean—it’s genuinely safe. The smell is gone, the contamination eliminated, and your family protected from dangerous bacteria and viruses that raw sewage carries.
Your property value stays intact because we stopped the damage before it spread to structural elements or created mold growth. No lingering health concerns, no expensive secondary damage, no wondering if the cleanup was thorough enough.
That’s what professional sewage cleanup delivers when it’s done right the first time.
Green Island Group has been serving Suffolk County families through their worst water damage emergencies. We understand what Stony Brook homeowners face—from the area’s aging sewer infrastructure to the heavy storms that overwhelm local systems.
Our team knows Long Island’s unique challenges. Tree roots infiltrating old sewer lines, basement floor drains backing up during heavy rainfall, and the urgent need for proper sanitization in our coastal climate where moisture can quickly turn into bigger problems.
When sewage backup happens in your Stony Brook home, you need someone who’s handled these exact situations before and knows how to restore your property completely.
First, we assess the damage and identify all affected areas, including hidden contamination that untrained eyes miss. Our technicians determine the source of the backup and create a complete restoration plan that addresses both immediate cleanup and long-term protection.
Next comes extraction and sanitization using truck-mounted equipment that removes all contaminated water and waste. We apply EPA-approved disinfectants that eliminate dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites that sewage carries—not just surface cleaning, but deep sanitization that makes your home truly safe.
Finally, we complete structural drying, deodorization, and any necessary minor repairs. Your home returns to pre-loss condition, with documentation provided for your insurance claim and the peace of mind that comes from professional-grade restoration.

Our sewage cleanup service includes everything needed to restore your Stony Brook home completely. Water extraction removes all standing contaminated water using powerful truck-mounted units designed specifically for hazardous waste removal.
Structural drying prevents the mold growth that Suffolk County’s humid climate makes especially dangerous after sewage exposure. We use advanced drying techniques that reach into wall cavities and subflooring where moisture hides and causes long-term problems.
Deodorization eliminates odors permanently—not masking them, but removing the source through specialized treatments. Given Stony Brook’s high property values and close neighborhood proximity, complete odor elimination protects both your investment and your relationships with neighbors. Minor repairs address any damage caused by the backup, so you’re not left dealing with multiple contractors or incomplete restoration.
Tree root intrusion tops the list for Stony Brook homes, especially given our mature neighborhood trees and aging sewer infrastructure. Roots seek moisture and find their way into small cracks in sewer lines, growing larger over time until they create complete blockages.
Clogged pipes from grease, hair, and debris buildup cause frequent backups, particularly in older homes common throughout our area. Heavy rainfall overwhelms Suffolk County’s sewer systems during storm seasons, and old or damaged sewer lines develop cracks and leaks that allow sewage to escape into basements and crawl spaces.
The combination of coastal weather, mature landscaping, and aging infrastructure makes sewage backups more common here than in newer developments.
We provide 24/7 emergency response because sewage backups don’t wait for business hours. Our team is available day or night, weekends and holidays included, understanding that rapid response is crucial to minimize health risks and property damage.
Most calls receive response within hours, not days. Time matters critically with sewage cleanup—bacteria multiply rapidly, odors set in, and contamination spreads to unaffected areas if not addressed immediately.
Our local Suffolk County location means shorter travel times to Stony Brook properties, and our trucks stay fully equipped for immediate action upon arrival.
Absolutely not, and here’s why that’s actually the more expensive choice. Raw sewage contains E. coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, and other dangerous pathogens that cause serious illness without proper protective equipment and handling procedures.
DIY cleanup typically leads to incomplete sanitization, improper waste disposal that violates Suffolk County health regulations, and contamination spreading to areas you didn’t realize were affected. Standard household cleaners can’t eliminate the bacteria and viruses present in sewage.
The result is often costlier secondary damage, health problems, and the need to hire professionals anyway—except now the contamination has had time to spread and set in, making restoration more complex and expensive.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sewage backup cleanup, and we work directly with insurance companies to make the claims process as smooth as possible for you. We provide all necessary documentation and can often bill your insurance company directly.
The key is acting quickly and using certified professionals. Insurance companies prefer working with licensed restoration companies because we follow proper protocols, provide detailed documentation, and complete restoration to industry standards.
We handle the insurance paperwork and communication, so you can focus on getting your family back to normal instead of dealing with claims adjusters and documentation requirements.
We use EPA-approved disinfectants specifically designed for sewage contamination, not general-purpose cleaners. Our sanitization process eliminates bacteria, viruses, and parasites that sewage carries, including dangerous pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella.
Every affected surface receives treatment, including areas that appear clean but may harbor invisible contamination. We use specialized equipment to reach into wall cavities, subflooring, and other hidden spaces where contamination spreads but typical cleaning misses.
Air quality testing and odor elimination confirm that sanitization is complete before we consider the job finished. You receive documentation of our sanitization process for your records and peace of mind.
Safety first—avoid contact with the sewage and keep family members and pets away from the affected area. Don’t try to clean it yourself or use regular household equipment that will become contaminated.
If possible, locate the source of the backup and try to stop additional flow, but don’t put yourself at risk. Turn off electricity to the affected area if you can do so safely from a dry location.
Call us immediately at 631-256-5711. The sooner professional cleanup begins, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs. We’ll walk you through any immediate safety steps while our team heads to your location.
