Post-Remediation Verification
Independent clearance after remediation is complete.
Short answer
Post-remediation verification (PRV), or clearance, is an independent check performed after remediation to confirm the work area is visibly clean, dry, and consistent with the remediation protocol. Sterling performs a visual assessment, moisture checks, and — when specified — clearance sampling, as a party that did not perform the remediation being verified.
