WELCOME TO SOLID BLEND

We’ve delivered proven water management services and systems to control waterborne pathogens, like Legionella, in drinking water and scale causing mineral deposits, bacteria, and corrosion in HVAC water systems Legionella outbreaks since 1999. But we’ve never lost sight of our most important resource: our team members.

We believe in respecting each other’s input, hard work, collaborative relationships, cooperation, and the power of snacks to make a meeting more enjoyable. We believe in a “leading with people first, revenue second” mentality. We strive to hire the right people for the right job, and then do all we can to keep them on our team for a very long time. We know the best way to take care of our clients is to take care of our team first. We’re proud to be honored as both a Best Workplace in Ohio and a Healthiest Employer.  

These are the values we live by. If you align with them, you’ll thrive on our team.

We’re Rapid Responders who are committed to Finding Win/Win Solutions.

We’re Curious, and committed to Continuous Learning.

We’re Honest and strive to be Humble and Kind in all we do.

We believe a successful company comes from a team of employees who are aligned with living our Values. Cue The Guardians, our retention team. The Guardians check the pulse of our culture with a monthly survey, giving each employee a voice to openly share feedback about their experience at Solid Blend. Plus, daily check-ins and monthly all-company meetings create an open line of communication, that we actually listen to. We rely on this feedback to continually improve processes and enhance our work environment. Check out our blogs on why, and how we care for our culture at Solid Blend.

We also believe in our community and that everyone deserves an equal chance, no matter their race, gender or past.
