Yes, if a Delaware mechanics lien is not properly resolved, the lien claimant may be able to enforce the lien claim and foreclose upon the property. Granted, most lien claims are resolved before foreclosure becomes necessary. Nobody likes dealing with a lawsuit, and nobody wants their property in jeopardy, so mechanics lien enforcement suits are typically settled before things get to that point.
