Pacific Northwest Environmental

What Pacific Northwest Environmental does

Pacific Northwest Environmental LLC is a privately held, women-owned environmental services firm headquartered in Damascus, Oregon, with a secondary office in Des Moines, Washington. Founded in 1988, the company delivers selective demolition and recycling, asbestos abatement, lead and hazardous materials abatement, environmental remediation (including heavy metals cleanup, mold remediation, and pressure washing), and specialized services such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning, water-managed core drilling, and flooring preparation using shrouded HEPA-filtered diamond grinders and SASE Twister/Cyclone floor scrapers. Its field staff is union-trained, with AHERA Project Designers, Asbestos Supervisors, and Asbestos Workers handling regulated work, and the management team brings over 100 years of collective industry experience.

The firm serves public and private sector clients across the Pacific Northwest, including government agencies, institutions, municipalities, construction managers, and general contractors. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts with quote-driven pricing, and the firm holds State of Oregon WBE Certification #13687 and SBA WOSB Certification, which position it for set-aside and diversity-supplier public-sector bids. The business model is direct-sales driven, with inbound channels limited to a website contact form, phone, and a photo-gallery portfolio. The company has no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, and no AI or software platform layer; the offering is a fully physical, equipment- and labor-intensive services operation with no APIs, apps, or digital products.
