Clean Sweep

What Clean Sweep does

Clean Sweep is a small, privately held mechanical broom sweeping services provider headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, founded in 1984. The firmographic profile indicates a local operator sized at 11-50 employees, focused on the core service of mechanical broom street and parking lot sweeping for clients in the Chattanooga and Central Tennessee market. Publicly, the company shares digital infrastructure and customer-facing contact points (local operations number (423) 877-9192, toll-free 1-888-SWEEPING, request-a-quote web form) with Sweeping Corporation of America (SCA), the largest self-performing power sweeping and jet-vac services company in the United States operating 70 locations across 21 states — suggesting an operational or affiliation link to that national platform that materially expands Clean Sweep's effective service portfolio and geographic reach.

The company's core offering centers on mechanical broom sweeping for streets, highways, and parking lots, with the broader network additionally providing jet-vac pipeline cleaning (storm sewer, drain, and catch basin cleaning; CCTV inspection; hydro-excavating; sewer cleaning; wet well/lift station cleaning; smoke testing; confined space entry), milling and paving, oil spill cleanup, construction site cleanup, industrial facility cleaning, and special events cleanup. The technology base is physical rather than digital: state-of-the-art street sweeping vehicles, jet-vac equipment, and PACP-certified technicians. The company does not publish a public API, SDK, or software product, and no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

Clean Sweep's go-to-market is a sales-led, direct enterprise model: quote-based pricing customized per service type, frequency, and location, with customer acquisition through phone outreach and a website request-a-quote form. It serves five primary customer segments — government and municipalities (DOTs, cities, counties) for street and highway sweeping and EPA stormwater compliance; commercial and retail for parking lot maintenance; construction for site cleanup and debris removal; industrial and manufacturing for facility and pipeline cleaning; and residential/property management for community sweeping. Revenue mechanics are entirely service-based (pay-as-you-go with custom quotes), with no subscription, marketplace, or asset-light software component.

Broad incumbents

• ServiceMaster Clean: National commercial janitorial and specialty cleaning franchise network that competes with SCA in industrial facility cleaning, construction site cleanup, and commercial property maintenance.
• ABM Industries: Public facility services company offering janitorial, parking lot maintenance, and infrastructure-related services; overlaps with SCA on commercial parking lot sweeping and industrial facility cleaning as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Clean Harbors: Large environmental and industrial services company with oil spill response, industrial cleaning, and waste management capabilities — overlapping directly with SCA's oil spill cleanup, JetVac pipeline services, and industrial facility cleaning lines.
• Cintas Corporation: Public facility services company with entry mat, floor care, and parking lot maintenance offerings; competes for commercial property sweeping and maintenance budgets similar to SCA's commercial segment.
• Republic Services: Large publicly listed waste and environmental services company whose refuse collection and stormwater services overlap with SCA's storm sewer cleaning and municipal street sweeping customer base.
• Waste Management Inc. Public waste services giant with municipal collection contracts that sometimes bundle or compete with street sweeping and storm drain cleaning services offered by SCA to the same government customers.

Direct peers

• Sweeping Corporation of America: SCA is the parent operating entity of the 'Clean Sweep' Chattanooga brand and offers the identical portfolio of power sweeping, JetVac, and milling/paving services — making it the most direct comparable for unit-level economics and GTM.

Emerging players

• Jani-King International: Franchise-based commercial janitorial network with a national footprint that overlaps with SCA's commercial and industrial facility cleaning services, typically at smaller deal sizes.
• Stericycle: Specialty waste services provider with industrial and environmental cleanup offerings; partial overlap with SCA's JetVac, oil spill, and industrial cleaning services, especially in regulated waste streams.

Others

• Stanley Steemer: National specialty cleaning franchise primarily focused on carpet and floor care but adjacent to SCA's commercial facility cleaning offerings; useful comparable for unit economics in route-based service businesses.
