Why validation must be independent
A remediator testing their own work has an obvious conflict. Because EnviroForce only samples and tests, our validation reports carry weight with insurers, local councils, tribunals and future buyers.
How validation works
- We review the original assessment and the remediation scope.
- We wait until the remediator has finished and surfaces are dry. Freshly sealed or painted surfaces should be left as advised by the remediator.
- We take discrete samples from the same locations as the original assessment, plus any new areas of concern.
- A NATA accredited laboratory analyses each sample individually.
- You receive a validation report. If any result exceeds the guideline, the report pinpoints it for targeted re-work and re-testing.
When to book
Book validation when the remediator tells you the work is complete. Talk to us before remediation starts if you can: matching sample locations to the original report makes the comparison clear and avoids disputes.
