What Leland Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
What are the health effects of living in a contaminated home?
Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
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.
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.
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.
What is meth lab cleanup?
It is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. A professional team samples surfaces, removes materials that cannot be cleaned, cleans the rest and tests again. The goal is to show that the property is fit for use. It is not a job for household cleaners.
What is the law for meth cleanup in North Carolina?
Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.
