Meth Lab Cleanup Questions From Mount Orab and Brown County
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.
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.
What are the signs of meth contamination in a home?
Possible signs include strong chemical or ammonia-like smells, stained or discolored walls, burn marks, unusual equipment and unexplained headaches or irritation. These are not proof on their own. Testing is the only way to confirm residue.
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.
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.
Can children and pets stay in the home during cleanup?
No. Keep children and pets out of the affected areas until cleanup and retesting are done. They are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. Find another place to stay if you can.
