Our Differentiators
Why Choose Us
Environmental inspection and testing works best when the firm doing the testing is not also bidding on the work that follows. We built the business around that separation. It keeps findings unbiased and reports defensible in front of regulators, lenders, and insurance adjusters.

Environmental Inspection and Testing in the Inland Northwest
Why Credentialed Inspection Matters in Spokane, WA
Environmental inspection and testing sits at the intersection of property investment, public health, and regulatory compliance. In Spokane, WA, that combination shows up in three common scenarios: pre-purchase due diligence on older homes, commercial real estate transactions that trigger Phase One and Two Environmental Site Assessment requirements, and responses to specific concerns like visible mold, suspect asbestos materials, water quality issues, or impacted soil at a development site.
The firm you hire should be credentialed for the specific scope, independent from the abatement or remediation work that might follow, and able to produce a report that holds up in front of a regulator or a lender. Those three criteria filter out the majority of operators in any given market.
What Environmental Consulting Covers
Environmental consulting is the umbrella discipline that supports property transactions, development projects, and regulatory compliance. It includes records review, site reconnaissance, sampling programs, laboratory coordination, and written deliverables formatted for the audience that needs them. For a homeowner planning a basement finish, that might mean an asbestos inspection and a mold inspection bundled together. For a commercial developer, it might mean a Phase One Environmental Site Assessment paired with a Phase Two subsurface investigation and an asbestos survey of the existing structure. Scope scales to the project.
How Building Inspections Fit Alongside
Home inspections and commercial building inspections are adjacent but distinct. A home inspection covers structure, systems, and conditions of a residence. A commercial building inspection produces a property condition assessment used in due diligence and operations. Both produce written reports. Both are independent, credentialed opinions. Neither overlaps with the specialized environmental surveys (asbestos, mold, soil, water) that often accompany them on older or more complex properties.
How Targeted Testing Rounds Out the Picture
When a specific concern exists, targeted testing gives you lab-backed answers. Mold testing confirms species and concentration. Asbestos testing confirms whether suspect material in a building actually contains asbestos. Soil testing identifies contaminants and evaluates suitability. Water testing screens for bacterial, chemical, and regulated contaminants. Each of these is a distinct scope with its own protocols and reporting standards.

What Clients Say About Working With Us
We are a science and reporting firm. We identify what is present, document it in accordance with applicable standards, and explain what it means in plain language. When physical follow-up work is required, we point you to a licensed contractor.
No. Enviro Consulting Services performs inspection and testing only. We identify the presence, location, and (where applicable) species or type of a concern, and we document it in a written report. Physical follow-up work is handled by a separately retained, licensed contractor. We keep that separation intentionally because it protects the independence of our findings and makes the report more defensible for your lender, regulator, or insurer.
We are based in Spokane Valley, WA and serve the Spokane metro area plus the broader Inland Northwest. Common service areas include Spokane, WA, Spokane Valley, WA, Liberty Lake, Cheney, Airway Heights, Deer Park, Post Falls, and Coeur d'Alene. Travel outside the immediate area is available for commercial projects and Phase One and Two Environmental Assessment engagements.
It depends on scope. A residential home inspection is typically two to four hours on site. A mold inspection or asbestos inspection can run one to three hours depending on building age and size. A Phase One Environmental Site Assessment is a multi-day records-and-reconnaissance process rather than a single-visit scope. When you call for a quote we give you a realistic schedule, not a placeholder.
A written report with findings, photographs, sample locations, laboratory results where applicable, and recommended next steps. The format is designed to be handed to a contractor, a lender, a real estate agent, an attorney, or a regulator. For environmental assessments the report follows the applicable ASTM or EPA framework. For home inspections it follows residential inspection standards.
Often, yes. If the property needs a home inspection plus a mold inspection and an asbestos inspection, a single site visit is usually feasible. For commercial properties the same is true: a property condition assessment can often be paired with asbestos and mold surveys. Let us know your full scope in the first call and we will tell you what can be combined.
Yes. The firm carries EPA AHERA Certified Asbestos Building Inspector credentials, 40-Hour HAZWOPER certification, Lead Paint RRP certification, Certified Mold Inspector credentials, and the Idaho Water Pollution Control Manager credential. Full credentials are available on request and are referenced in every report.
