Blue RidgeMold Testing

Post-remediation clearance testing

The company that cleaned up your mold shouldn't be the one that grades its own work. We come in independently, inspect the work area, and test the air to confirm it's back to normal.

Air sampling cassettes and chain of custody paperwork for clearance testing
Clearance samples travel to the lab under chain of custody, so the result holds up for buyers and insurers.

Why independent clearance testing

Post-remediation verification is the step that proves the job is done. When the remediator tests its own work, there's an obvious conflict. An independent clearance test protects homeowners, landlords and buyers, and gives good remediation companies proof they did the job right.

When to schedule it

Clearance testing happens after the remediation company has removed affected materials and cleaned, while containment is usually still in place, and before new drywall or flooring goes in. Ask your remediator to schedule us at the end of their work so the walls aren't closed too early.

What passing looks like

The work area should be dry, visibly clean and free of dust and debris, and the air inside should be comparable to the outdoor control in both spore count and type. If the area doesn't pass, the report explains what's out of line so the remediator can address it, and we retest.

For remediation companies

We work with contractors who want third-party clearance on their jobs. We don't do remediation, so we're not competing for your customers.

Common questions

Can my remediation company do its own clearance test?
They can, but it's a conflict of interest. Independent testing gives you, your insurer and any future buyer a result they can trust.
What if the area fails clearance?
The report shows what was elevated and where. The remediator addresses it, and we return for a discounted retest.
Do I need clearance testing for a small cleanup?
For small areas cleaned by a homeowner, often not. For professional remediation jobs, especially with insurance claims or a pending sale, clearance testing is strongly recommended.
