Specific to Buffalo

Post-remediation mold clearance testing in NY is a regulatory requirement under NYS DOL Article 32 for licensed mold remediation projects above the de minimis threshold. The clearance assessor must be different from the remediation contractor, Article 32 separation requirement. This creates a structural referral relationship between licensed remediators and licensed assessors. Our clearance program operates on a 48-hour partner SLA for Buffalo / WNY remediation contractors. The workflow: remediator completes the work, requests clearance; we schedule within 48 hours; perform clearance testing per the remediation work plan's success criteria (typically spore-trap air sampling indoors + outdoor baseline, plus surface sampling at remediation perimeter); deliver clearance report with pass/fail verdict; if pass, project closes; if fail, we identify the specific remaining issues for the remediator to address. For Buffalo remediation contractors with recurring clearance needs, we offer volume pricing on annual contract. Predictable per-project clearance cost, fast scheduling, consistent methodology across the contractor's portfolio.

Common questions

About this service

Is post-remediation clearance testing required by NY law?

For licensed mold remediation projects above the de minimis threshold (NYS Article 32. Generally projects over 10 sq ft of contiguous contamination), yes. The clearance must be performed by a different party from the remediator (typically a licensed Mold Assessor). Smaller projects may not require formal clearance but most remediation contracts include it as a quality-assurance measure.

What's the cost of clearance testing in Buffalo?

Standard residential clearance: $295-$485 depending on number of sample points and home size. Commercial clearance: project-specific based on building size and contamination scope. We quote firm at intake based on the original remediation scope.

What happens if the unit fails clearance?

We identify the specific remaining issues (unfinished remediation, missed contamination, new growth from incomplete drying, etc.) in our written report. The remediator addresses those issues; we return for re-test. Re-test pricing is discounted on the original engagement.
