Seaford Cleanup and Restoration

The first record of any settlement in the area around Seaford was a very large tract of land identified as "Martin's Hundred". This 1,750 acre plot of land, bordered by the Nanticoke River and Herring Creek, was granted to Jeremiah Jadwin of Virginia on January 22, 1672.
Innovation in agriculture developed through the efforts of William Henry Harrison Ross. Ross became Governor of Delaware in 1850 and had extensive holdings north of Seaford. Ross was in politics throughout his adult life, holding office from January 1851 to January 1885. His principal place of residence was an Italian Renaissance style mansion (which still exists today) in present-day Seaford that he built in 1850.  The town received its charter and was incorporated on April 6, 1865. In 1925, the poultry industry became important as new methods of housing and feeding were introduced. The nature of farming changed from truck crops to grains and corn for chicken feed as Sussex County became the largest chicken-producing area in the world. In 1939, the DuPont Company chose Seaford as the site of the first Nylon plant in the world leaving Seaford known as the "Nylon Capital of the World". Growth and flourishment still continues today as Seaford adds more quality businesses and people to its vibrant residence. With more than 500 retail stores and service-related businesses, a stable and respected local government, a diversity of residential developments, a modern hospital and numerous support clinics, elderly care, fine schools and churches, many youth and adult extracurricular educational and recreational programs, numerous volunteer service organizations, and Seaford's location near the most pristine river and recreational beaches on the East Coast, it is little wonder Seaford is considered such a desirable place to live, work, and play. We are busy almost every day in Seaford with water and fire remediation.  We also serve many apartment complexes with our cleaning services in addition to fire and water remediation.
