What Patton Village Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
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 are the signs of meth contamination in a home?
Possible signs include strong chemical or ammonia-like smells, stained or discolored walls, burn marks, unusual equipment and unexplained headaches or irritation. These are not proof on their own. Testing is the only way to confirm residue.
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.
How long does meth lab cleanup take?
It often takes several days to more than a week, plus time for lab results. Testing happens before and after the work. If an area does not pass, it is cleaned and tested again. A local team can give a realistic schedule once it has seen the property.
Does the Texas victim compensation program pay for meth lab cleanup?
Cleanup after drug activity is generally not part of the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program, which pays up to $2,250 for crime scene cleanup after certain crimes. Ask the Attorney General's office at (800) 983-9933 whether a specific case qualifies.
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.
