Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in St. Simons, GA
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can residue come from smoking and not only from making?
Yes. Heavy indoor use can leave residue on walls, floors and furniture. The amount is usually different from a former lab, so testing guides the plan. A team can explain what the results mean for your property.
Who should I contact first?
If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.
