Technicians assess the entire property for drug residue, biohazard contamination, structural damage, hoarding conditions, and any remaining illegal materials (coordinated with law enforcement if necessary).
Drug paraphernalia, biological waste, and contaminated materials are removed and disposed of following state and federal regulations. Needles and sharps require specialized disposal.
Surfaces are tested for specific drug residues. Results determine the scope and method of chemical cleaning required.

A meth lab involves active chemical manufacturing, creating specific chemical contamination. A drug house is primarily used for drug use or distribution, which creates biohazard contamination (blood, needles) and drug residue, but not the concentrated chemical contamination of a production site.
Yes. Needles require specialized disposal as sharps waste. Technicians use puncture-resistant containers and follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols. Never handle discarded needles without protection.
If the property was recently used for drug activity and law enforcement has not already cleared it, contact police before any cleanup. They may need to process the scene for evidence. Disturbing a crime scene can create legal issues.
Document everything (photos, police reports, tenant communications), contact your insurance provider, and engage a licensed remediation company. Most states allow landlords to pursue tenants for remediation costs through civil court.
Disclosure laws vary by state, but known drug manufacturing or significant contamination is generally a material fact that must be disclosed. Consult a real estate attorney in your state.
