Sweeping Corporation of America

What Sweeping Corporation of America does

Sweeping Corporation of America (SCA) is the largest professional self-performing power sweeping company in the United States, providing street, highway, and parking lot sweeping, Jet-Vac storm/wastewater services, and complementary offerings (milling/paving cleanup, oil spill response, construction site cleanup, interior facility cleaning, special events cleanup) to municipalities, DOTs, commercial/retail property owners, construction contractors, industrial facilities, and residential property managers.

The company operates a fleet of approximately 2,350 vehicles (mechanical broom sweepers, regenerative air vacuum sweepers, jet-vac trucks) deployed across 60+ strategic locations in 21 states, with full telematics coverage since December 2019 and a proprietary Verified Sweeping Service that provides real-time reporting on area swept, broom engagement, water status, and dump cycles. PACP-certified technicians support EPA NPDES/MS4 compliance work. SCA monetizes through quote-based service contracts (monthly billing cadence) with a variable energy charge indexed to national diesel prices, supplemented by Sourcewell cooperative purchasing access for public-sector buyers.

Founded as a platform in February 2017 by Soundcore Capital Partners, SCA has executed 47 acquisitions through August 2022, growing from a single operator to 2,000+ safety-focused employees. Warburg Pincus made a growth equity investment in November 2020 to support continued national expansion, with credit facilities of $60M (Comerica, December 2017) and $106M (Pinebridge, May 2019) financing fleet growth and M&A. Operational headquarters are in Cleveland, Ohio, with a Tampa, Florida mailing address.
