We are also excited to add the talented employees of Water Kleen as part of the TAS organization. This transaction is a big step forward for us and I'm excited about the future opportunities of the combined company."

Water Kleen, based in Ennis, TX, has over 20 years of history providing environmental and industrial services, including hydroblasting (10,000 - 24,000 psi), vacuum truck services, hydro-excavating, hydrojetting and roll-off truck services. Water Kleen operates primarily in the DFW Metroplex, but also works throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas.

Michael Janczak, president and CEO of Water Kleen, stated, “We purchased Water Kleen in 2013 from the founders and worked extremely hard since then to create a solid foundation for future growth.  We have similar operating philosophies with TAS and have invested heavily in our people and equipment to provide exceptional service and value to our customers. TAS and Water Kleen have known each other for several years, and we were attracted to the culture, leadership and direction of TAS.  I’m confident this transaction positions Water Kleen for continued success and growth with TAS.”

David Mann, managing partner of TEAM Partners added “The Water Kleen acquisition provides a tremendous catalyst to continue to grow TAS through an active buy-and-build effort.
