About First State Water Restoration
Providing property owners across Wilmington and New Castle County with rapid, scientifically verified water damage mitigation and structural recovery.
Committed to Restoring Wilmington Homes & Businesses
First State Water Restoration was founded on a simple principle: when water enters your property, you need straightforward answers, immediate mitigation, and documented proof that structural moisture has been completely resolved.
Water damage is among the most stressful disruptions a property owner can experience. Whether caused by a ruptured frozen pipe during a harsh winter freeze, heavy stormwater backing up through basement foundations, or sudden plumbing line failures, our focus is on rapid extraction and controlled psychrometric drying before permanent secondary decay or microbial contamination sets in.
Verified Moisture Mapping
We rely on calibrated thermal imaging and digital moisture meters rather than guesswork to define wet perimeters.
Insurance-Grade Reporting
Comprehensive daily drying logs and photo records provided directly to policyholders and claims adjusters.
Non-Invasive Diagnostic Moisture Detection
Why “First State”?
Delaware holds an enduring place in American history as the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on December 7, 1787. Operating under the name First State Water Restoration reflects our deep pride in serving Delaware communities and understanding the distinct architectural, historical, and geological challenges of New Castle County.
From century-old stone foundations in historic Wilmington neighborhoods to modern split-levels in Newark and Bear, Delaware’s unique low-elevation topography demands localized mitigation expertise.
*First State Water Restoration is an independent commercial restoration entity and is not affiliated with the State of Delaware government.
