A Post Remediation Verification (PRV) — also referred to as a clearance inspection or clearance testing — is performed after a mold remediation project to confirm that remediation was successful before normal occupancy or reconstruction begins.
The purpose of the PRV is to verify that:
-
All moisture conditions contributing to mold growth have been properly corrected
-
All mold-contaminated and non-restorable materials have been removed
-
The property has been returned to Condition 1 (Normal Fungal Ecology) in accordance with the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification S520 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation
This inspection process is similar to our initial mold assessment and includes the use of specialized equipment such as:
-
Infrared thermal imaging cameras
-
Moisture meters
-
Hygrometers and other diagnostic tools
Indoor air quality testing is also conducted to confirm that cross-contamination has not occurred and that normal fungal ecology has been successfully restored.
