Meth Lab Environmental Hazards A methamphetamine lab is one of the world’s most dangerous environments. The combinations of toxic chemicals used for making meth stay on surfaces and continue to fill the air. Chemicals including anhydrous ammonia, benzene, acetone, methanol, hydriodic acid, and others contaminate virtually everything in the interior, including

furniture, carpeting, cabinets, drywall, appliances, and all other surfaces. The compounds created by cooking can contaminate the building structure itself, the HVAC system, plumbing, septic system, the yard, and anything around the exterior.
Symptoms of Meth Exposure Methamphetamine lab environments are challenging to thoroughly decontaminate. A house, garage, or apartment that has been used as a meth lab can remain hazardous to new occupants even ten years after the drug operation has been unsuccessfully decontaminated. Entering the location without the necessary PPE can cause a range of severe health effects, such as: Nausea Chemical burns Headaches Dizziness Lung damage Upper respiratory problems Blindness Kidney failure Liver damage Birth defects Death
Meth Cleanup System For decontamination of a methamphetamine lab, our certified professionals generally administer a system outlined below. This proven approach is designed to protect new residents and visitors in the building.
Lab Site Assessment and Cleanup Plan The evaluation of the damage to a meth lab property often involves gathering information from various documentation of facts determined at the site, such as reports by DEA and other local, state, and federal agencies, shipping records for the chemicals and meth production equipment, and other items removed from the site. It also includes information on the apparent methods of chemical cooking used at the site, samples of drugs found on the property, and other details useful in the cleanup process. The various analyses of contaminants in the structural components of the building, in the HVAC system, in the soil around the house, in water wells, and in the septic systems are also used. Information about areas of the property used for staging deconstructed meth lab components and for disposal is also included in the cleanup and restoration work plan and bid.
Site Decontamination

The process typically takes from 1 to 10 days. The actual time frame is based on the affected building and ground size and the contamination level at the location. We manage all aspects of the cleanup project. That includes securing the property to prevent unauthorized access by employees. We conduct pre- and post-remediation air sampling and maintain monitoring throughout the process. We further control the air to help prevent the spread of contaminated air to nearby land and buildings. Our team ultimately disposes of all hazardous materials and prepares the final report on the cleanup.
Post-Cleanup Sampling by a CIH A determination that the meth lab property has been fully decontaminated to meet specifications under federal, state, and local regulations will be made by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH). Certification of the test results will be obtained from the CIH. All post-cleanup sampling is conducted by an independent inspector. The property owner or other responsible party will be provided with the certification verification so that the quarantine can be lifted from the property and it can be sold, occupied again, etc.
