Vortex Water Expands National Footprint with Mainlining America Acquisition

With its acquisition of Mainlining America LLC, the Vortex Companies strengthens its Vortex Water division. Headquartered in North Carolina, Mainlining America specializes in water main rehabilitation and replacement.

As a result, the acquisition enhances Vortex Water’s ability to deliver turnkey potable water solutions nationwide. It also expands operational capacity across the East Coast.

“This acquisition is a major step forward in our strategy to build the most comprehensive and capable trenchless water platform in the industry,” said Mike Vellano, CEO of Vortex Companies. “Mainlining America has a long-standing reputation for execution, technical expertise, and customer commitment in the watermain renewal space. By bringing their team and capabilities into Vortex Water, we are expanding our reach, enhancing our ability to self-perform projects, and providing customers with a true single-source partner for critical water rehabilitation.”

Mainlining America brings more than 70 years of proven construction experience in the pipe rehabilitation and trenchless industry. This makes the company a strong strategic fit for Vortex Water. The acquisition also expands service capabilities and supports geographic growth across the U.S. market and beyond.

Going forward, Mainlining will operate under Vortex Water as part of the company’s U.S. operations.

An Exciting Addition

“We are extremely excited to bring Mainlining onboard,” added Ryan Graham COO of Vortex Companies. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver fully integrated project solutions in-house—from design and site preparation to excavation, lining, testing, and restoration.”

For customers, this means quicker project alignment, faster completion, and improved quality control. With crews and offices throughout the East Coast, Mainlining adds significant field expertise and regional reach to Vortex Water’s platform.

“Mainlining America, from its founding, was designed to address the critical challenges of aging water infrastructure, and building a company dedicated to that mission has been deeply rewarding,” said Emil Solimine, former owner and CEO of Mainlining America LLC. “Becoming part of Vortex Water marks an important milestone that builds on that vision by broadening the availability of reliable and innovative water main rehabilitation solutions throughout the country.”
