What is the long-term impact of meth contamination on property resale?
The long-term impact on resale can be significant if contamination is not properly addressed. Even after remediation, a property labeled as a former meth lab may face stigma, resulting in decreased buyer interest and lower offers. Proper documentation, including lab reports and clearance certificates, helps mitigate this. Some buyers may request their own independent testing before closing. In competitive markets, full transparency and a proven track record of remediation can preserve or restore market value. Failure to address contamination, however, can lead to a property sitting unsold or being devalued by 20–50%.
What cleaning standards are followed during crime scene remediation?
Cleanup adheres to standards set by OSHA, EPA, IICRC, and local agencies to ensure effective and safe decontamination.
