What Pinehurst Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
Can children and pets stay in the home during cleanup?
No. Keep children and pets out of the affected areas until cleanup and retesting are done. They are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. Find another place to stay if you can.
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.
What is the law for meth cleanup in Washington?
Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.
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.
How do you test for meth residue?
A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.
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.
