ICV Partners, LLC (“ICV”), a leading investment firm and capital partner to lower middle market companies, has acquired a significant ownership interest in Environmental Remedies, LLC (“ERI”), a leading asbestos abatement service provider in the State of California. 

Founded in 2004, ERI specializes in providing high-quality asbestos abatement services for remediation companies, insurance companies, and homeowners across the State of California. ERI has built its success by focusing on the non-discretionary demand drivers of fire and water damage and by being the go-to abatement partner in the industry.

“ICV is a great fit for the vision we have for ERI. ICV can help us accelerate the build-out of our infrastructure, develop our talented leadership team further, and enhance our operational capabilities. We specifically selected ICV as our partner because of their experience with family-owned and founder-led companies. They have a successful track record of helping entrepreneurs, like us, scale their business,” said Scott Tamayo, ERI’s Chief Executive Officer.

“ERI is an investment in the residential services space after extensive research and evaluation of numerous investment opportunities. ERI’s focus on the restoration and insurance end markets is a strong fit with our investment strategy of backing essential service providers whose services are nondiscretionary,” said Jermaine Warren, Managing Director at ICV Partners. Mr. Warren added “In ERI, we believe we have partnered with the leading asbestos abatement service provider in California, favorably positioned and poised to capitalize on both organic and inorganic growth opportunities.”

Brad Steinle, President of ERI said “with ICV’s support, we will enhance our operational capabilities, invest in our team, and expand our market presence.” ERI plans to accelerate its growth through geographic expansion and acquisitions, while leveraging ICV’s expertise and resources.
