At Everest, we are committed to community involvement and environmental excellence.

Everest Waterproofing & Restoration, Inc. is working towards implementing sustainability into the core of our everyday business activities.
In 2009, we contracted with an independent third-party to conduct a comprehensive sustainability audit, including GHG, waste, water and energy analysis, as well as overall corporate social responsibility activities.
Now, we are implementing resource conservation measures across our entire organization, an environmentally purchasing policy for all products procured at our corporate headquarters and jobsites and education programs for Everest staff.
If you would like to learn more about our commitment to sustainability and local community development, or the detailed specifications of environmentally preferable products we have available for jobsite use please contact us.
