EnviroCompliance Laboratories, Incorporated was established in September, 1989. This step launched the planning stages of the business strategy. In November, a laboratory was refurbished in a 400 square foot facility at Hanover Industrial Park. With a basic complement of equipment, the primary goal was to provide quality data with the highest degree of service, at competitive pricing.

With extremely favorable response, the lab quickly outgrew the original facility. In November 1991, the company moved to a 4,000 square foot bay at the nearby Lakeridge Industrial Park. This expansion added additional instrumentation and marked the emergence as a full service lab to assist the environmental business community.

As growth continued, the company moved into its present location in February 1992. With a 22,000 square foot warehouse on US Route 1, north of Richmond, the lab had found ample space for further growth and expansion. Over 5,000 square feet of lab space was renovated.

Inquiries from the Hampton Roads area stimulated interest in that region. The distance prevented the lab from maintaining the high level of service to which our customers had become accustomed; therefore, a building was located to house EnviroCompliance Lab's Tidewater Division, and a full-service lab was opened in the Tidewater Region in March, 1994.

In October of that year, the purchase of Commonwealth Laboratory enabled EnviroCompliance to expand into the Shenandoah Valley. January of 1995 also saw the acquisition of CMI Laboratory in Harrisonburg to further augment the growth in that area. A new facility was obtained in Verona, north of Staunton, in order to operate the vastly expanded laboratory. The Valley Division became fully serviceable in May 1995.

Expansions at each of the labs has resulted in more than 15,000 square feet of laboratory space. This included the purchase of Industrial Water Laboratories in April of 1997.

In August of 1998, a building was purchased in Lynchburg and a laboratory was established to provide service in the Central Virginia region. Following in March of 2001, a building was purchased in Salem and a laboratory was established to provide service to the Roanake area.

There are five full-service labs, covering the entire state of Virginia with the capacity to handle priority work and comprehensive projects. EnviroCompliance has achieved its extensive growth as a result of the utmost dedication to superior service.
