What Snyder Environmental Services does

Snyder Environmental Services, Inc. (SES) is a Mid-Atlantic water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure contractor founded in 1979 and headquartered in Kearneysville, West Virginia. The company delivers trenchless technology construction services, including horizontal boring and jacking, pilot tube boring, mechanized tunneling, rock boring (Robbins SBU disc cutter heads, 24-48 inches), pipe bursting, slip lining, and pipe rehabilitation methods such as CIPP spot repair and thermofuse PVC expand-in-place liners. It also operates and maintains water and wastewater treatment plants, provides CCTV pipe inspection and hydro excavation, and executes site development work. Core technology is embodied in an owned equipment fleet valued at over $25 million, enabling cross-discipline project delivery without third-party rental dependencies.

SES generates revenue primarily through custom bid-and-quote project contracts with municipal governments (the dominant segment), school districts, and commercial property owners across West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Revenue streams include one-time infrastructure construction projects (boring, pipe installation, treatment plant construction), recurring operations and maintenance contracts (Class S and Class A plant operations, chief operator services, sludge hauling, sampling and reporting), and hourly or project-based equipment-and-labor engagements (hydro excavation, CCTV inspection, pipe cleaning). Pricing is project-specific rather than tier-based. Documented operational scale includes over $35 million in annual sales, four to five active boring crews, hundreds of thousands of feet of annual utility installation, and 29 treatment plants constructed or operated in the tri-county region.

The company operates under an enterprise field-sales go-to-market motion targeting municipal procurement channels and direct quote requests, supported by industry association memberships (AGC, ABC, NASSCO, CAWV, Avetta) and a licensed installer partnership with Aquatherm for fusible pipe systems. In May 2026, Good Springs Capital LP completed a strategic private equity investment in SES, providing capital and strategic support for organic expansion and targeted acquisitions in the fragmented water and environmental services market, while the existing leadership team, including founder-CEO B. Lee Snyder and President Brandon Duriez, retained day-to-day operational control.
