TL;DR

Post-remediation verification is the independent inspection and sampling performed after mold remediation to confirm the work area is dry, free of visible growth and dust, and back to normal fungal ecology before containment comes down. An assessor checks moisture readings and visual condition, then collects air or surface samples for laboratory comparison against outdoor or reference levels.
