Cleaning up a former methamphetamine lab is a highly hazardous process that typically requires professional remediation to ensure the property is safe for habitation.

 

Residual chemicals can embed deeply into surfaces, posing long-term health risks like respiratory issues and chemical burns. 

 

Professional Cleanup Process Certified professionals generally follow these steps to decontaminate a property: 

• Assessment & Testing: Third-party testing determines the level of contamination and creates a "scope of work" for cleaning.
• Ventilation: The property is aired out for several days using fresh air and negative air units with HEPA filtration.
• Removal of Contaminants: Absorbent materials that cannot be easily cleaned—such as carpeting, drapes, clothing, and upholstered furniture—are double-bagged and disposed of.
• Surface Decontamination: Hard surfaces (walls, floors, counters) are triple-washed with specialized detergent-water solutions. This is often followed by HEPA vacuuming to remove dry particulates.
• HVAC & Plumbing: Systems are thoroughly cleaned or sealed. Plumbing traps are flushed to remove chemical residues poured down drains during "cooking".
• Encapsulation: Cleaned surfaces are often repainted with oil-based, epoxy, or polyurethane primers to provide a final protective barrier.
• Clearance Testing: A final test by an independent third party confirms contamination levels are below state-mandated thresholds before a "Safe to Occupy" certificate is issued. 

 

Costs and Regulations

• Cost: Residential cleanup typically ranges from $10,000 to $30,000, though large or heavily contaminated properties can exceed $100,000.
• Regulations: While the EPA provides voluntary guidelines, regulations are managed at the state and local levels. Many states require contractors to have 40-hour HAZWOPER certification.
• Reporting: You can check for known contaminated sites through the DEA National Clandestine Laboratory Register. 

 

Safety Warning

Do not attempt to clean a meth lab without professional training and proper personal protective equipment (PPE).

Mixing certain cleaning agents like bleach with meth residue can produce highly toxic gases.

If you suspect a property is contaminated, contact your local law enforcement agency or health department immediately.
