Delaware water damage
What causes water damage in Delaware
Our Delaware coverage centers on New Castle County, around Wilmington, Newark, Bear and Middletown. Homes range from older city rowhouses to newer subdivisions on low, flat ground. Coastal storms, heavy rain on poorly drained soils and winter freezes are the main causes of water losses.
Tropical and coastal storms
Remnants of Atlantic storms bring heavy rain and flooding, especially near the Christina and Brandywine.
High water table
Flat, low-lying land means crawl spaces and basements can take on water after long rains.
Frozen pipes
Pipes in crawl spaces and exterior walls freeze during cold snaps.
Licensing, permits and insurance in Delaware
Building permits are issued by the county or municipality. Contractors working in Delaware generally need a state business license, so ask for it.
