Newark homeowners and landlords near the University of Delaware often face drain backups from tree roots along White Clay Creek and heavy use in rental properties around Downtown Newark and Oaklands. Delaware Drain Cleaning sends crews daily from the Wilmington shop at 48 Germay Dr to clear main lines on DE-896 and DE-273 corridors.
Cold winters here freeze shallow lines in older West Newark and South Newark houses while summer storms push debris into the Newark Reservoir watershed. Our trucks reach Hillside Heights and Bob Carpenter Center neighborhoods within 30 minutes via I-95, clearing kitchen and laundry drains before classes resume.
We also cover nearby Wilmington and Hockessin calls the same day, keeping response times short for Newark residents dealing with recurring blockages from student housing turnover.
