Drug Lab Cleanup & Decontamination

Hidden Hazards of Drug Labs

Drug production involves harsh chemicals, unstable equipment, and compounds that don’t disappear after the lab shuts down. Many of these contaminants seep into surfaces or linger in the air, creating long-term health risks.

Some residues stick to walls and ceilings. Others get pulled into HVAC systems and recirculate throughout the property. Even brief exposure can cause burns, breathing problems, or worse. In many states, DIY cleanup is illegal without proper certification.

What Makes Professional Cleanup Absolutely Necessary?

Most states require certified drug lab cleanup before a property can be sold, rented, or reoccupied. Insurance providers often deny claims if the cleanup doesn't follow official protocols. Anything less than full remediation risks violations, delays, or financial loss for property owners.

Our IICRC- and RIA-certified cleanup crew meets all compliance benchmarks and provides the documentation needed for legal or insurance purposes. Our professional cleanup aligns with regulations from:

• Local health departments and housing agencies.
• Environmental cleanup and disposal protocols.
• Property insurers and liability adjusters.
• Real estate disclosure laws tied to drug activity.

What Could Go Wrong If a Drug Lab Isn't Cleaned Properly?

Improper or incomplete cleanup creates serious problems for property owners. Residual contamination often gets flagged during inspections, delaying sales or repairs. Properties may be condemned or flagged as unsafe by local officials.

Once a property is flagged, reversing that status takes far more time and money than doing it right the first time. Other consequences of inadequate cleanup include:

• Repeat inspections and remediation orders.
• Lawsuits from tenants, buyers, or contractors.
• Voided insurance claims for future damage.
• Stigmatized property records that lower the market value.
