Independent Post Remediation Verification Inspections

 Independent post remediation verification services to assess completed mould remediation and drying works, verify moisture outcomes, and determine whether remediated areas are suitable for reinstatement or reoccupation. 

Mould remediation that is not independently verified can leave behind hidden contamination, residual moisture, or incomplete removal of affected materials. These issues commonly result in:

• Rapid mould regrowth after reinstatement
• Ongoing health complaints despite remediation
• Disputes between occupants, landlords, builders, insurers, or strata
• Costly repeat remediation works

PRV provides objective, defensible evidence that remediation works have achieved the intended outcome before areas are closed up or returned to use.

 Our Post Remediation Verification Process

Each PRV assessment is tailored to the scope of the original remediation works and the building type. A typical PRV assessment includes:

• Review of previous mould and water ingress reports
• Review of remediation scope and completed works
• Visual inspection of all accessible remediated areas
• Targeted moisture testing of relevant building materials
• Environmental assessment of temperature and relative humidity
• Assessment for residual odours or visible contamination
• Clearance sampling
• Photographic documentation of findings

PRV assessments are commonly requested by:

• Homeowners following mould remediation
• Tenants seeking confirmation of safe reoccupation
• Landlords and property managers
• Strata managers and owners corporations
• Builders and remediation contractors
• Insurers and loss adjusters
• Solicitors and parties involved in disputes

Independent verification protects all parties by clearly documenting the outcome of remediation works.

 Sydney Building Diagnostics approaches PRV from both a building science and indoor environmental perspective.

Unlike generic clearance inspections, our assessments focus on:

• Moisture sources and building performance
• Verification of drying outcomes
• Long-term risk of recurrence
• Clear, defensible reporting suitable for disputes if required

This ensures remediation works are not just visually acceptable, but technically sound.

 If mould remediation works have been completed and you require independent verification, the next step is to arrange a Post Remediation Verification assessment.

Once you confirm you wish to proceed, a formal fee agreement will be issued and suitable inspection dates arranged.
