2. Contain and protect
The work area is sealed, workers put on protective gear, and dust is controlled so residue does not spread.

Remaining surfaces and air systems are cleaned with specialized methods, not household products.
4. Clearance check
A last round of testing checks the result against the standard that applies, and the owner gets a report.

Meth Lab Cleanup Questions From Taunton and Bristol County
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.
What removes drug residue?
Specialized cleaning methods, not everyday sprays. Crews remove porous materials that hold residue, then clean hard surfaces and air systems in a set order. Household cleaners can spread residue, so a cleanup team and its testing plan are the safer route.
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.
What is the law for meth cleanup in Massachusetts?
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.
Can furniture and belongings be saved?
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
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.
