Specialized training and equipment is critical to methamphetamine remediation

These days, unfortunately, property owners and property managers are all too aware of methamphetamine. Meth contamination from use or production means serious risk for their property and other residents.

When methamphetamine contamination is discovered, the building must be thoroughly inspected and tested for the presence of hazardous substances. These properties are often classified by law or regulation as hazardous or contaminated because potentially hazardous and even fatal chemicals and fumes remain in the structure and can enter humans and animals through inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. Exposure to methamphetamine contaminants can pose serious health consequences. Failure to properly remove these substances can contribute to unhealthy and dangerous environments.

Common Causes for Biohazard Cleanup

What is the Methamphetamine Remediation Process?

The goal is to completely clean, sanitize, and deodorize the property. The meth cleanup process can be complicated by hazardous chemicals, regulatory compliance, health issues, standing water, contaminants, and mold growth are all considerations.

Once a building has been exposed to meth, the molecules of the substance will stick to all surfaces such as walls and floors. The contaminants can even penetrate through to the building’s insulation. Consider the fact that the materials used to manufacture meth are all quite dangerous on their own. Substances like ether, paint thinners, acids, anhydrous ammonia, solvents, phosphorous, and many others may be present. When combined together, these products can create significant health hazards. After being exposed to these contaminants, both children and adults may experience breathing problems, respiratory irritation, irritation of the skin or eyes, headaches, nausea, dizziness, burning sensations, or even lung damage. Exposure to these types of contaminants can come from contact with surfaces that have been exposed to meth byproducts, contaminated dust that has settled onto furniture or eating and drinking materials, furnace or air filters that have been contaminated, carpets and upholstery, etc.

How does the meth restoration work?

Safety protocols are a primary concern. The cleaning and restoration process often means prolonged exposure to meth-related contaminants. Only those who have been professionally trained to treat these types of homes safely should ever attempt to clean up meth contamination. our crews will don protective gear and conduct a detailed inspection. Containment of the area may also be required to prevent biohazardous contamination of other areas.

Answering Your Meth Cleanup Questions

Is meth really dangerous?

Yes. Exposure to methamphetamine contaminants can pose serious health consequences. When methamphetamine contamination is discovered, the building must be thoroughly inspected and tested for the presence of hazardous substances. These properties are often classified by law or regulation as hazardous or contaminated because potentially hazardous and even fatal chemicals and fumes remain in the structure and can enter humans and animals through inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. Failure to properly remove these substances can contribute to unhealthy and dangerous environments.

Is there a test that will confirm the presence of meth?

In some instances, it’s obvious when a home has been used to manufacture meth. Strong odors – including scents like paint thinner, ether, or even a cat urine-like smell could be a sign of meth production. If there’s any doubt about whether or not a home was used as a meth lab, it’s smart to buy a test kit. These kits are able to detect meth residue and will tell you if dangerous conditions exist inside of your home. If you do find evidence of meth in your home, you must immediately begin thinking about the steps necessary to make it safe again. This is not a time to hesitate before taking action!

What are the signs of meth contamination?

If you’re like most law-abiding citizens, you have no clue what a meth lab entails and wouldn’t know how to tell if meth had been manufactured inside of your home. Fortunately, there are some common telltale signs that will clue you in:

Strong Odors – Always “listen” to your nose. One of the most obvious signs that meth was produced inside of a home is a strong, lingering odor. Ammonia, fertilizer, or sulfur (rotten eggs) are often associated with meth labs.

Concealed Windows – If you bought a home with boarded-up windows or windows that were covered with aluminum foil, it may not be just because the occupants were shy. Meth manufacturers must conceal their every move from the scrutiny of the outside world.

Burn Marks – Burn marks in the home’s interior or burnt patches of lawn could indicate that meth was produced in the home.

Odd Features – When you look around your home, does it seem like certain elements, such as ventilation substances, have been jerry-rigged over time? Meth manufacturers may make special tweaks to interior and exterior features to assist with drug production, and they will avoid letting outside professionals into the home to make repairs.

Health – If you or other household occupants find yourselves frequently feeling ill or under the weather, there may be a problem with dangerous chemicals in your home.
