Aqueous Solutions

What Aqueous Solutions does

Aqueous Solutions is a privately held, woman-owned (MWBE-certified) environmental cleaning contractor headquartered at 78a N Boundary Rd. inside John F. Kennedy International Airport in Jamaica, NY. Founded circa 2008–2009 with 16 employees, the company delivers industrial-grade pressure washing, closed-loop water reclamation, water damage restoration, emergency spill and biohazard response, and CDC/EPA-approved disinfection (including electrostatic fogging) to commercial, industrial, government, and residential customers across the New York, New Jersey, and southern Connecticut tri-state area. Its technical core is a Wash-Recover-Recycle water reclamation architecture — settling tanks, oil-water separators, and multi-media filtration down to under 10 microns — paired with equipment rated to 4,000 PSI, 250°F, and 8 GPM dual-surface cleaning, enabling closed-loop compliance with DEC and EPA Clean Water Act requirements.\n\nRevenue is generated through project-based professional services priced via custom quotes and free no-obligation residential estimates, delivered on-site by trained personnel with confined-space, air-maintenance, and fall-protection credentials. The company pursues a direct, sales-led go-to-market with an enterprise field-sales overlay, anchored by long-running contracts at JFK Airport with PANYNJ (Port Authority of New York and New Jersey) and Swissport, supplemented by commercial property work, industrial facility cleaning, residential exterior washing, and pandemic-era disinfection work for healthcare, food service, and livestock premises. It operates under the trade name AQ Environmental for restoration and sanitization work and holds no outside funding, operating as a bootstrapped, founder-controlled small business with a single location.
