What Cordele Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
What removes drug residue?
Specialized cleaning methods, not everyday sprays. Crews remove porous materials that hold residue, then clean hard surfaces and air systems in a set order. Household cleaners can spread residue, so a cleanup team and its testing plan are the safer route.
Can a meth house be cleaned up?
In many cases, yes. The usual path is testing, removal of contaminated porous materials, thorough cleaning of surfaces and air systems, and retesting. How much work is needed depends on the extent of the contamination, and testing is what shows that.
Can furniture and belongings be saved?
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
Do I have to be at the property?
Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the property is vacant.
What happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No. This page explains how meth lab cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney or the local health department.
