What University Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
Is meth lab cleanup covered by insurance?
It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
What are the health effects of living in a contaminated home?
Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
Does meth contamination go away on its own?
Not reliably. Residue can stay on surfaces and in materials for a long time. Airing out a home may reduce odor but does not remove residue. Testing and professional cleaning are how owners learn whether a property is safe.
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.
Does the heating and cooling system need cleaning?
Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.
Who pays for meth lab cleanup at a rental?
Owners usually carry the cost of cleaning their own property. For rentals, the lease and local law decide who is responsible, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Renters policies often cover a tenant's belongings rather than the building.
