Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Anthony, TX
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
