What happens if a property fails a meth contamination test?
If a property fails a meth contamination test, it is usually declared unfit for habitation until proper remediation is completed. The property may be listed in local or state databases, especially if law enforcement is involved. Owners must hire certified decontamination professionals and conduct follow-up testing to confirm the space meets health standards. During this time, the property cannot be legally rented or sold without disclosure. Some jurisdictions may issue formal orders or post warnings on the building. Documentation from post-remediation clearance is essential to reverse the uninhabitable designation and restore the propertys market value.
