About Newark Sewer Pros
Sewer Backup Plumber Serving Newark and New Castle County
Owner Dave Ellison runs Newark Sewer Pros from its base at 70 Albe Dr F in Newark, focusing on sewer backup repair across New Castle County. He built the operation around the realities of local homes, from older properties in Downtown Newark and Hillside Heights near the University of Delaware to neighborhoods in West Newark and South Newark where aging lines meet shifting soil and tree roots from nearby White Clay Creek State Park.
The region's humid subtropical climate brings hot summers that drive heavy water use and cold winters that stress pipes, often leading to backups in areas like Oaklands or around the Newark Reservoir. Dave's crew responds with targeted work in these spots, also covering runs to Wilmington and Hockessin where similar housing stock and terrain create the same recurring issues.

How · it · works
What to expect, start to finish
Step 1: Scheduling Your Service
Call Newark Sewer Pros during business hours at our base on 70 Albe Dr F to describe the backup symptoms, and we schedule a visit based on whether you are in Downtown Newark near the University of Delaware or out in Hillside Heights.
Step 2: On-Site Assessment
A technician arrives to inspect the line, often finding root intrusion from White Clay Creek State Park trees or debris buildup common in older homes across West Newark and South Newark after heavy summer rains.
Step 3: Clearing The Backup
We use targeted equipment to remove the obstruction, accounting for New Castle County soil conditions and the cold winters that can cause pipe contraction issues in neighborhoods like Oaklands.
Step 4: Final Verification And Cleanup
After the sewer backup repair we run a camera check and restore the area, confirming flow before leaving so homes near the Newark Reservoir or Bob Carpenter Center avoid repeat problems.
Testimonials
What Newark, DE Customers Say
“Sewage backed up into our basement laundry sink after a rainstorm. Newark Sewer Pros used a camera to locate a collapsed section of the lateral line near the sidewalk, replaced the damaged pipe, and restored flow. The basement stayed dry through the next storm.”
“Roots from the oak tree on our property had clogged the main sewer line causing slow drains in every fixture. They hydro-jetted the line clear, then recommended and installed a root barrier sleeve at the connection point. Drains run at full speed now with no recurring clogs.”
“Grease from our restaurant kitchen had built up in the exterior cleanout and caused a total backup. The crew snaked the line, followed with a high-pressure jet, and applied an enzyme treatment to break down remaining residue. No backups since and the cleanout stays clear.”
