We can't take your work
Assessment is our entire business. We have no remediation division, no crews, and nothing to upsell your client when we walk the site.
We clear the work.
We never compete for it.
Post-Remediation Verification & Clearance Testing
Independent third-party clearance for commercial remediation projects — documented, defensible, and turned around fast enough to keep your schedule intact.
Hanna Commercial Property Inspections provides independent post-remediation verification and clearance testing for commercial properties throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. After mold remediation is complete, Florida law requires that clearance be performed by an assessor independent of the remediation contractor. We perform visual verification, moisture confirmation, air and surface sampling, and accredited laboratory analysis, then issue a written clearance report with a documented pass or fail determination. Because we perform assessment only and never remediation, remediation contractors can bring us onto a project without introducing a competitor to their client. Serving Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau, Baker, Bradford, Putnam, and Alachua counties. Florida Mold Assessor License MRSA5649.
What it is
Post-remediation verification — often called clearance testing — is the independent check performed after remediation is complete but before containment comes down. It answers one question in writing: did the remediation actually work?
That document is what closes the project. Building owners rely on it before reoccupying. Insurers rely on it before paying. Tenants and their attorneys rely on it when they ask whether the problem was truly resolved. A clearance report that was written by the same company that performed the removal answers none of those questions credibly.
The value of a clearance report is entirely a function of who wrote it.
What's included
For remediation contractors
We do not perform remediation. Not occasionally, not on small jobs, not ever. When you bring us onto a project, you are not introducing your client to a competitor.
Assessment is our entire business. We have no remediation division, no crews, and nothing to upsell your client when we walk the site.
Containment sitting up an extra week costs you money. We schedule clearance around your completion date and move lab results as fast as the lab allows.
Photographs, sample locations, lab data, and a stated pass or fail. The kind of documentation that satisfies an adjuster the first time you send it.
Visible debris, containment gaps, and moisture readings still reading high are apparent while we're on site, and we'll say so before we leave. Sampling results depend on the lab and take as long as they take.
The standard
Clearance is not a matter of opinion. Criteria are set before sampling begins, so nobody is negotiating the definition of "clean" after the results come back.
If it doesn't pass
Sometimes an area fails clearance. A missed pocket behind a wall, a moisture source that wasn't fully corrected, cross-contamination from an adjacent space. It happens on good projects run by good contractors.
When it does, we document exactly what fell short and what needs to happen — then we re-test once it's addressed. A failed clearance caught now is a fraction of the cost of a tenant complaint, a claim denial, or a deposition eighteen months from now.
An assessor who never fails anything isn't giving you a service. They're giving you a liability.
How it works
Tell us the affected area, the number of containments, and your target completion date. We quote it and lock a slot.
Visual inspection, moisture readings, and sampling — performed with containment still in place, before anything comes down.
Samples go to an accredited independent laboratory. Rush processing available when your schedule requires it.
A written determination with photographs, sample data, and criteria — delivered to the party who engaged us and any parties they designate.
Who orders clearance
Meeting the independence requirement and handing the client a third-party document at project close.
Confirming the contractor delivered what was paid for, before reoccupying the space or releasing final payment.
Independent verification that remediation scope was completed before the claim is closed out.
Evidence-grade documentation of post-remediation conditions in habitability and defect matters.
What it costs
Clearance pricing is a formula, not a negotiation. You can build it into a bid without calling us first, and the invoice will match what you were quoted.
$300 base + $95 per sample
The base covers the site visit, visual verification, moisture readings, and the written clearance report. Samples are itemized on top — no bundled minimums, no charges for samples we didn't take.
Scoping it
A typical single-containment commercial clearance runs two to four samples. Larger multi-zone projects scale from there. Rush lab processing is available for an added per-sample fee when your schedule requires it.
Travel beyond our standard service radius is quoted per job.
