Post-remediation testing, also known as a clearance assessment, is a final inspection and sampling process performed after a hazardous material like lead or asbestos has been professionally removed (abated). Many renovation and demolition projects legally require initial testing for these hazards. If they are found, a licensed abatement contractor must contain and remove them. However, the project isn’t finished yet.
A clearance assessment is the final, mandatory step that verifies the abatement was successful and the area is safe for re-occupancy and for your project to continue.
Passing a lead clearance assessment is a multi-stage process performed by a certified inspector to ensure your property is safe. Our process confirms that the abatement was successful by meeting stringent standards at each step.
To receive a passing report, the following steps must be completed:
Yes. If your property required professional lead or asbestos abatement, then a post-abatement clearance assessment is not just recommended — it is often a legal requirement. This independent, third-party verification is your official proof that the remediation was successful. Your project cannot move forward, and the area cannot be safely reoccupied, until it passes a clearance test. If the assessment fails, the abatement contractor will be required to re-clean the area, and the clearance process must be repeated until the standards are met.
The benefits of professional post-abatement clearance testing include:
No, and this rule is in place to protect you. Regulations in Oregon and Washington mandate that the company performing the abatement cannot be the same company that performs the final clearance testing. This required separation ensures there is no conflict of interest and that the results are completely unbiased.
Think of it as an independent audit; one company does the work, and a separate, expert firm like ours verifies that the work was done correctly. This system is designed to protect public health and guarantee that when your property passes clearance, it is truly safe.
