Sevenson Environmental Services, Inc. provides a comprehensive range of services for the cleanup of sites and facilities contaminated by hazardous materials. Sevenson entered the environmental cleanup business in 1979 when it was selected as the principal contractor for remediation work at the Love Canal Superfund site in Niagara Falls, New York. Today, under the leadership of The Elia Family, Sevenson Environmental is one of the America's Leading Environmental Remediation Contractors with over 1,500 projects completed - including 151 sites on the US Environmental Protection Agency's NPL Superfund list - with a combined value of over $6.5 billion. Sevenson's customers include major industrial companies and federal and state agencies. Sevenson provides services throughout the continental United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Roots go back to 1917. In that year, Albert Elia, a Niagara Falls, New York architect, began a general construction business. In the 1940's, Elia's four sons joined the business and incorporated it as the Albert Elia Building Company, Inc. In the early 1950's it expanded into industrial, institutional and heavy civil construction work. Eventually the Albert Elia Building Company, Inc. grew into one of New York State's largest general contractors. Sevenson has been in business for over 100 years, and not only are we a 3rd generation family run business, we have many families working here that are multi-generational as well!
