CLEAR RIVER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE CORP

What CLEAR RIVER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE CORP does

Clear River Environmental Service Corp is a family-owned environmental services company founded in 1960 and headquartered at 847 11th St, Ronkonkoma, NY, serving residential, commercial, and municipal customers across Long Island including Suffolk County, Nassau County, and the Hamptons. The company operates a portfolio of five service lines — plumbing, sewer and drain, cesspool and pumping, septic installation and services, and specialized environmental remediation (including hazardous waste, oil tank cleaning, and emergency oil spill response) — delivered via owned field technicians with 24/7 dispatch and a 2-hour emergency response promise. Its technical capability set is physical-asset-heavy: vacuum trucks, high-pressure hydro-jetting equipment, video camera inspection systems, GPS-based cesspool location, and specialized I/A OWTS (Innovative/Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems) that meet Long Island Health Department nitrogen-reduction requirements.

The company operates a roll-up structure, retaining four acquired Long Island brands — Bill Mallins Cesspool, East End Cesspool (operating since 1955), Fraser Cesspools (Shirley), and Mangano Plumbing and Drain (operating since 1970) — as subsidiary service brands under the Clear River umbrella. Revenue is generated primarily through transactional professional services: per-visit cesspool and septic tank pumping ($400–$700 typical), one-time plumbing and sewer projects, and higher-value I/A OWTS system installations ($19,000–$25,000 typical, with grant assistance available up to $65,000+ through New York State, county, and town programs). Pricing is quote-based with promotional discounts applied at the order level.

Clear River's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business via phone and website quote forms, supported by localized SEO, educational blog content targeting Long Island-specific service queries, and a multi-brand website footprint that preserves the legacy recognition of each acquired brand. Leadership is anchored by VP and Cofounder David Warren; the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company. Named commercial customers include McDonald's, Sonic, Jake's 58 Hotel & Casino, and SIMON, alongside municipal work for schools, parks, and government facilities. The total addressable market is anchored by roughly 360,000 Long Island homes on cesspool or septic systems, with 74% of Suffolk County remaining unsewered.
