“Brad took his time and did a very complete job and answered all my questions. he was very clear what has to be done and what not to worry about. He continued to answer my questions after the report was issued in a professional and helpful way”

Why this job exists
- The remediator said the job is done. You want a third party to say it, on paper
- An insurer or listing contract requires clearance before occupancy or closing
- A prior cleanup failed. The smell came back. You need a new baseline
- You paid for containment and demolition and do not want to find out later that wet drywall was left in place
What PRV includes
- Read the scope first
We compare the finished rooms to the written protocol or the original inspection. Clearance is not a fresh guessing tour of the whole house unless you ask for that.
- Visual and moisture check
Removed materials, remaining surfaces, and moisture content. If a wall still reads wet, it does not pass because it was painted.
- Air or surface samples when the protocol calls for them
Indoor zones compared to outdoor controls or to the criteria in the scope. Lab work goes on the same chain of custody as any other test.
- Pass, fail, or limited pass
The report states whether the contained area is ready to rebuild. If it fails, it states what still has to happen. We do not rewrite the remediator's invoice.
Clearance is a separate visit
In Palm Beach County a lot of mold work starts after a storm, a roof leak, or an AC failure. The cleanup crew leaves. The smell comes back two weeks later because a wet cavity was closed too soon. Post-remediation verification is the check that is supposed to catch that before finish materials go back on.
We did not remove the drywall. We are not quoting to put it back. The report is pass or fail against the scope.
Call (561) 407-6800 with the remediator’s protocol in hand if you have one.
What we bring
- Moisture meters on remaining structural materials
- Spore traps or surface samples per the protocol
- Photos of the contained area as it stands at clearance
- A report an insurer, buyer, or building manager can file
FAQ
Questions people ask before they book
Why can't the remediator just clear their own work?
They can hand you a certificate. A buyer, insurer, or attorney often wants the person who counts the air to be someone who did not profit from the demolition. That is the job.
When should I schedule PRV?
After demolition and cleaning, before new drywall goes up, while containment is still up if the protocol says so. Calling after the walls are closed makes a fail expensive.
What if it fails?
You get a written list of what is still wet, still dirty, or still over the agreed air numbers. The remediator goes back. We retest the failed items. We do not take over their work.
Do you write the remediation protocol too?
Yes, on assessment jobs. If another assessor wrote the protocol, we can still perform clearance against that document.
How fast can you clear a job?
Visual and moisture checks are same visit. Lab-backed clearance follows the lab clock, usually 1-2 business days, with rush available.
