Being only a short distance from Wilmington, Newark has become a growing bedroom community of some prominence in New Castle County. With a population nearing 31,500 today, the earliest settlers were far less plentiful when the village formed in 1694. Things appear dramatically different now, though many historic properties and landmarks point to the storied history of Newark and the surrounding regions of Delaware. Locals and visitors alike frequent the Newark History Museum for a reminder of the obstacles of early settlement life and reaching the modern era.

With a growing population, water damage in Newark is challenging to avoid. This disaster type continues to be our top call out for service, including Large Loss recovery throughout Delaware Valley. One of the most prominent properties of New Castle County is the University of Delaware and its facilities. As a result of the thousands of attendees, the area surrounding the school experienced gentrification, with many restaurants, boutiques, and specialty stores finding their way onto Main Street and other high-traffic areas accessible from I-95.
