Everside Capital Partners Announces Investment in RK HydroVac
April 2026
Everside is pleased to announce the closing of its investment in RK HydroVac (“RK” or the “Company”), a leading provider of roof preparation services for the repair and replacement of low-slope ballasted roofs. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Piqua, Ohio, RK has established itself as a critical part of the commercial re-roofing industry providing essential dry and wet-vacuum ballast removal, pneumatic ballasting, and disposal services, supported by a highly specialized fleet of hydro-vac trucks.
For this investment, Everside partnered with a trusted Seattle-based SBIC (Small Business Investment Company), which will lead as the Company’s sponsor to support its next phase of growth, alongside two additional SBICs with which Everside has collaborated with in the past. This partnership reflects the sponsor’s and Everside’s commitment to investing in businesses with dominant market positions, costly barriers to entry, and necessary service offerings that create lasting value for all stakeholders.
Everside is an SEC-registered investment advisor, as well as a SBIC (Small Business Investment Company) license holder based in New York, NY. With $2.7 billion in assets under management across its funds, Everside partners with leading SBIC managers in the lower middle market through its primary and secondary investing strategies, and also makes direct credit and equity investments in small businesses through its direct investing strategies. As a flexible capital provider, Everside offers debt and structured equity solutions for recapitalizations, acquisitions, liquidity events, and management buyouts.
