We Handle Your Stormwater Certification

Spokane’s Authorized Stormwater Specialist
No combined math, no entry-level staff—just a true 34 years of individual, dedicated field experience protecting your property.
The Real Cost of a "Cheap" Inspection
A quick checklist run by a generalist or less experienced firm might get you a signed paper, but missing an underlying structural issue, a hidden blockage, or a subtle basin failure doesn't protect you from the City. When the infrastructure fails, the emergency repair bills can easily clear $10,000. We inspect to protect your budget, not just check a box.
The goal is to make this experience as hands off for your organization as possible.
If your site was identified as requiring annual certification for onsite stormwater facilities by the City of Spokane, you've come to the right place. We will schedule the inspection, perform the inspection, and can send you a copy of your certification, or submit it directly to the City usually with the same week.
Stormwater Solutions is the only firm in Spokane that STRICLY does annual stormwater certification for private stormwater facilities.
Generalists often treat stormwater as a secondary task. We understand the specific nuances of Spokane's 2011+ development codes that others miss, preventing the need for costly re-inspections.
It's all we do. We believe that this approach gives the customer (you) the best value. Since this is the only area we work in, it allows us to apply our unique experience to your site. Because we are a small and specialized local business, we can provide single-focused expertise.
