RK HydroVac, founded in 1981 by two brothers in rural Ohio, has established itself as a leader in roof preparation and vacuuming services for commercial, industrial, and municipal construction job sites. Initially operating from their family's barn, the company focused on removing rock from flat roofs using traditional methods. As demand grew, they innovated and developed advanced techniques and equipment to enhance safety and efficiency for their clients.
Throughout the years, RK HydroVac expanded its operations with regional offices established in Charlotte, NC, and Pittston, PA, among others, run by employees who have become co-owners. In 2017, the founders opted for an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), transitioning to a 100% employee-owned business by 2019. This structure fosters a strong sense of ownership and commitment among employees, aligning their interests with the success of the company.
