112.5.1.1.3.11 Post-Rebuilding Clearance Testing

2012 Virginia Construction Code (USBC, Part I) > 1 Administration > 112 Workmanship, Materials and Equipment > 112.5 Defective Materials > 112.5.1 Drywall, Performance Standard > 112.5.1.1 Remediation Standards > 112.5.1.1.3 Protocol > 112.5.1.1.3.11 Post-Rebuilding Clearance Testing
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

A post-rebuilding clearance test prior to reoccupancy of the building or structure shall be conducted with the use of copper or silver coupons and the methodology outlined in the April 2, 2010, joint report by the Consumer Products Safety Commission and by the Department of Housing and Urban Development "Interim Remediation Guidance for Homes with Corrosion from Problem Drywall" or with the use of a copper probe and dosimeter. The clearance testing shall confirm that all airborne compounds associated with the defective drywall are at usual environmental background levels. The clearance testing report certifying compliance shall be submitted to the building official.

Notes:

  1. Where the building is served by a well and prior to conducting clearance tests, all outlets in piping served by the well should be capped or otherwise plugged to prevent contamination of the air sample.
  2. To prevent siphoning and evaporation of the trap seals, fixtures should be capped or otherwise plugged to prevent sewer gases from contaminating the air sample.
