Methanphetamine Lab Clean-Up

Soil Away Cleaning and Restoration is fully certified to do Methamphetamine Lab clean up.

Methamphetamine is an extremely addictive drug that is growing in use throughout the country.

Unfortunately it is fairly easy to make so many users and dealers are setting up home “Labs” to produce the drug. These Labs” can be set up in homes, apartments, hotels and industrial buildings. The downside for property owners and managers is that making methamphetamine is a highly toxic process that contaminates everything that comes in contact with the volatile vapors produced.

The contamination is persistent and can affect individuals in the structure as if they had taken the drug directly.

Cleaning up the contamination is a multi-step process, that for safety reasons, require the technicians to wear full personal protection equipment. Clean up can only start after the legal authorities have removed the drug and manufacturing equipment.

Porous materials such as draperies, carpets, furniture and clothing should be discarded as it is not cost effective to attempt decontaminating them.

Sampling is required to determine the process used to make the drug so the proper cleaning agents can be used. This also helps to identify the scope of the contamination.

The physical cleaning involves HEPA* vacuuming, cleaning with the proper agents and techniques and then HEPA vacuuming again. Items like ventilation and plumbing systems must be inspected and cleaned where needed.  During this time hi-power ventilation and air cleaning equipment must be in operation.

After the physical cleaning, the temperature is raised to 90+ and air filtering put in place to finalize the cleaning. Then post remediation testing must be performed and sealing surfaces with a appropriate coating to finish the remediation.

Soil Away is capable of delivering this service and getting your property back to its pre-contamination state as quickly as possible.

* HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters remove  99.97% of all particulates .3 microns or smaller from the air flow.
