What Service-Tech Corp. does

Service-Tech Corporation is a privately held, family-owned industrial and HVAC cleaning company founded in 1960 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. The company delivers NADCA-certified air duct and HVAC source-removal cleaning, ASHRAE 188-aligned cooling tower maintenance, IKECA/NFPA 96 kitchen exhaust hood cleaning, combustible dust removal, fire damper inspections, food plant sanitation, dry ice blasting, Aeroseal duct sealing, and certified rope access services. Technical differentiation rests on manual-entry cleaning techniques, HEPA and double-filtered vacuum systems, EPA-registered sanitizers, and computer-controlled Aeroseal duct diagnostics, executed by technicians holding multiple NADCA, IKECA, and IAQA certifications.

The business operates a project-based, sales-led model with custom pricing determined by scope, equipment condition, location, and difficulty. Four regional service centers—Cleveland (Bedford/Oakwood Village), Dayton (Vandalia), Columbus (Gahanna), and Tampa Bay—dispatch field crews to customer sites, with on-site estimating staff reviewing mechanical drawings and project managers supervising execution. The company holds GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract #GS-21F-0032U and supports DFARS/ITAR, FDA cGMP, SQF, BRCGS, and FSSC documentation requirements.

Customer concentration is diversified across manufacturing (Pepperidge Farms, Nestlé, DuPont, GE, Sherwin-Williams, Fuyao, Dannon, Abbott Nutrition), healthcare and pharma (Cleveland Clinic, OSU Wexner, Nationwide Children's, OhioHealth, Mount Carmel, Kettering Health, Premier Health), aerospace and defense (Wright-Patterson-adjacent contractors), education (Case Western Reserve University), and federal agencies (U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs). The company is led by President Gabriel S. Chick (since 2019) with Alan Sutton serving as President Emeritus; no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds are indicated.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• ServiceMaster: National commercial cleaning and facility services brand (TruGreen, Terminix, ServiceMaster Clean). Competes for commercial cleaning and duct services spend at multi-site customers, with a franchise model and broader residential-leaning brand.
• Clean Harbors: Public environmental and industrial services company offering industrial cleaning, hazardous waste management, and facility decontamination. Comparable in serving heavy industrial and federal/defense customers, though Clean Harbors' scope is far broader and more environmental-services oriented.
• ABM Industries: Public facility-services company providing janitorial, HVAC, and energy solutions to commercial and industrial clients. Competes with Service-Tech on integrated facility-services contracts at large enterprise customers and healthcare systems, though with much broader scope and lower specialization in NADCA source-removal cleaning.
• Cintas Corporation: Large-cap publicly traded facility services provider offering commercial cleaning, HVAC services, and uniform rental. Adjacent competitor for enterprise facility maintenance budgets; while not specialized in NADCA HVAC cleaning, Cintas competes for the same facility-services wallet at national accounts.
• Stanley Steemer: National carpet, air duct, and facility cleaning brand. Overlaps with Service-Tech on residential and light-commercial air duct cleaning, though Stanley Steemer is primarily residential-focused and does not match Service-Tech's heavy industrial or federal capabilities.
• Servpro Industries: National franchise network for restoration, cleaning, and commercial facility services including HVAC cleaning and duct services. Comparable in serving enterprise and insurance-driven customers, though broader in scope (water/fire restoration) and less specialized in NADCA-certified HVAC source removal.

Direct peers

• DUCTZ: National NADCA-affiliated air duct and HVAC cleaning franchise network. Directly competes with Service-Tech in commercial HVAC cleaning with a similar standards-based, source-removal methodology, though with a franchise rather than direct-employee delivery model.
• BMS CAT: National commercial cleaning, decontamination, and restoration services company. Directly comparable in delivering industrial and commercial cleaning to enterprise and institutional customers, with overlapping capabilities in duct cleaning and facility decontamination.
