The addition of the 35-year-old New York Metro leader in Legionella compliance and HVAC water treatment strengthens Sylmar's growing national footprint

Sylmar Group, a leader in industrial water and wastewater treatment, today announced the acquisition of Tower Water, the premier provider of water treatment services in New York City. Tower Water will join the Sylmar Water Treatment family of companies, alongside EAI Water, Clearwater Industries, R2J Chemical Services, Eastern Technologies Inc. (ETI), Butler Chemical, and ProChem Water, as Sylmar continues to build its nationwide network of local, technical, and customer-focused water treatment providers.

Founded in 1992 by Russell and Noah Baskin, Tower Water has grown from a two-person cooling tower cleaning company into one of the most respected water treatment organizations in the country, with more than 50 employees and a reputation for technical excellence and deep regulatory expertise in water treatment, legionella management and mitigation, and the flushing and commissioning of new and refurbished piping systems. Tower Water serves commercial real estate portfolios, residential high-rises, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical sites, data centers, educational institutions, and industrial properties throughout New York City, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern Connecticut.

For Sylmar Group, the acquisition represents a significant step forward in its mission to build the leading industrial water company in the country, with the combination of Clearwater, Tower, and Butler providing unparalleled service to its NY/NJ/CT client base while benefiting from the scale and resources of the broader Sylmar platform.

"Tower Water is not just a water treatment company, it’s an incredible group of people. Russ and Noah have spent over 30 years building something truly exceptional, a company that puts customers first, and a team that takes enormous pride in what they do and how they support each other. The NY/NJ market is one of the most demanding water treatment environments in the country, and Tower Water has set the standard there for decades. We are honored to welcome them to the Sylmar team and are committed to supporting everything they have built for many years to come."

— Michael Warady, Co-Founder, Sylmar Group

"Tower Water was founded on being the company which employees want to come to, and clients want to be a part of. We wanted a partner which would carry on this sentiment long past our tenure. The choice and the opportunity to secure the future for both was clear. Sylmar will elevate us to a new level, where we're able to deliver more to our clients, and provide our teammates the future that they deserve."

— Noah Baskin, CEO & Co-Founder, Tower Water

"We are proud to have found a partner that leads with humility and a genuine appreciation for what we've built — our culture, our people, and our commitment to our customers. Sylmar Group isn't here to change who we are; they're here to help us grow into who we can become. We look forward to learning from each other as we continue building a company our customers choose and our teammates are proud to call home."

— Russell Baskin, President & Founder, Tower Water
