2. Remove what cannot be cleaned
Porous materials such as carpet, padding and drywall that hold residue are cut out, bagged and hauled away.

Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.
4. Clearance check
A last round of testing checks the result against the standard that applies, and the owner gets a report.

Common Questions About Meth Contamination in Pine Bluff
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 is meth lab cleanup?
It is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. A professional team samples surfaces, removes materials that cannot be cleaned, cleans the rest and tests again. The goal is to show that the property is fit for use. It is not a job for household cleaners.
What happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
Is it safe to buy a house that was a meth lab?
That depends on testing and cleanup. A buyer or lender can ask for test reports and cleanup records. A cleanup team can explain what the reports show. A real estate attorney can advise on disclosure and sale terms.
What is the law for meth cleanup in Arkansas?
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.
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.
