  • Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
  • Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue
  • Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
  • Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed

The team inspects each room, notes signs of drug activity and takes samples from the likely trouble spots.

Testing first means the team knows what it is dealing with, and it avoids guesswork about where to remove materials.

3. Removal and cleaning

Contaminated materials are bagged and hauled. Surfaces and air systems are cleaned using specialized methods.

4. Test again and record

The team takes final samples and prepares records the owner can keep for insurers, lenders or future buyers.

Meth Lab Cleanup Questions From Edgewood and Fulton County

How do I know if a house was a meth lab?

Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.

Is meth lab cleanup covered by insurance?

It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.

Is it safe to buy a house that was a meth lab?

That depends on testing and cleanup. A buyer or lender can ask for test reports and cleanup records. A cleanup team can explain what the reports show. A real estate attorney can advise on disclosure and sale terms.

How do you test for meth residue?

A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.

Can I clean up after a meth lab myself?

It is not recommended. Residue cannot be seen, and household cleaners can spread it. Leftover chemicals and contaminated materials may also need regulated handling. If you suspect a former lab, leave, keep people and pets out, and call 911 or Poison Control for symptoms.

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.
