In recent years, it has become increasingly common for properties to be contaminated by former meth labs, resulting in the need for meth lab cleaning services.
When a meth lab is shut down, some equipment may be removed by law enforcement. The remaining miscellaneous articles or cooking equipment will need to be properly disposed of by a biohazard cleaning company. The property will also need to be decontaminated for hazardous chemical residues and restored to safety standards.
The safest way to clean up a former methamphetamine (meth) lab is to hire the services of a meth cleaning company that is trained in the removal and clean-up of hazardous waste. Attempting a meth clean-up on your own can be very dangerous and should not be done.
Health risks of meth lab residue
If your property has been used as a meth lab, it is important to note that the toxic chemicals used to produce methamphetamine cling to surfaces and contaminate carpets, walls, cabinets, and ceilings, making it a dangerous environment to live in.
The chemical residues left behind are harmful and have serious implications for health, like permanent psychological disorders, lung disorders, brain and kidney damage, and even death. The long-term effects and health risks of exposure can lead to permanent heart and liver damage.
We do not suggest entering a property that has been used for meth smoking or manufacturing. The chemicals may be odourless, tasteless, and invisible, but they can make you very ill. It is important that a highly trained professional completely remediates the property that has been exposed.
Professional meth lab residue removal
The best way to go about the cleaning process is to hire the services of a reputed and professional meth lab cleaner.
Remember, meth lab cleaning is a rigorous process and if attempted by any individual without having sufficient training or knowledge, it can be fatal. The effects of meth labs have proven to be harmful, even if the area looks clean to the naked eye.
A professional meth cleaning company should cover all aspects such as assessing the property, devising a solution, removal and disposal of hazardous chemicals, property cleanup, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVACs), high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuuming, decontamination of property, sanitisation of property, and post sampling to ensure that it is chemical free and safe to occupy.
