What Clean Earth Solutions does

Clean Earth Solutions is a privately held environmental compliance and testing firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in New Braunfels, Texas. The company delivers precision testing, inspection, and compliance management for underground and aboveground storage tanks (UST/AST), fuel lines, leak detectors, and dispensers at retail and commercial fueling facilities. Services include tank and line testing (Mesa 2D, Acu-Rite, EZY Check), TSC 1000 leak detector testing, NESHAP Stage I testing, dispenser calibration, sump testing, and full compliance auditing — all performed in-house by NACE-certified technicians with extensive regulatory credentials.

Through its Innovative Corrosion Control (ICC) sub-brand, Clean Earth Solutions extends into cathodic protection system design, installation, inspection, and repair, including impressed current and sacrificial anode systems, plus proprietary hardware such as the ITBS (Internal Tank Bonding System). A separate Storm Water Division handles storm water basin management and remediation. The proprietary IDEA (Internet Data Exchange Application) web platform underpins the offering, providing customers with 24/7 access to archived testing data, reporting, and site records.

The firm operates a regional direct field-services model with dedicated area managers across the Rio Grande Valley, Houston, Arkansas, and West Texas. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts, managed compliance engagements, and hardware sales (anodes, rectifiers, junction boxes, ITBS units). The customer base consists of long-tenured fuel retailers and operators including Stripes/SUNOCO, GPM Southwest, CST/Valero, Jet-Pep, V&S Enterprises, Big's, and Juniper Ventures of Texas — several relationships have persisted 25-30+ years. Marketing relies on direct outreach, the company website, the IDEA customer portal, and word-of-mouth referrals; no external funding or ownership changes are recorded.
