Northern Delaware communities covered for water damage restoration

Coverage comes from the contractor network's own service list. It currently includes 29 ZIP codes, all in New Castle County: ten in Wilmington, five in Newark, and one each in Bear, Claymont, Delaware City, Hockessin, Middletown, Montchanin, New Castle, Odessa, Port Penn, Rockland, Saint Georges, Townsend, Winterthur and Yorklyn.

Kent County, including Dover and Smyrna, and Sussex County, including the beach towns, are not covered. If you call from an address outside the covered ZIP codes, the call may not connect you with a contractor, and it is best to look for a local restoration company directly.

The community pages are written from public sources about each place: river and creek flood records, state flood planning, local history and housing. They describe common situations; they are not a promise about any particular home or contractor.

Wilmington's neighborhoods along Brandywine Creek saw record flooding in 2021, and its older rowhomes have basements and plaster walls. Newark is wrapped by White Clay Creek and the Christina River and has many rentals. Hockessin's larger homes on rolling lots depend on sump pumps. New Castle and Delaware City sit on the Delaware River, where tides and storms meet. Bear and Middletown are mostly newer subdivisions with their own failure points. Claymont mixes mid-century houses and apartments near Naamans Creek.
