What Kapaa Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
Does the cleanup start right after the police leave?
Only after law enforcement releases the property. Investigators handle evidence and any dangerous chemicals first. Once the site is released, you can book testing and cleanup as the owner. Ask the agency when the release happens.
Can residue come from smoking and not only from making?
Yes. Heavy indoor use can leave residue on walls, floors and furniture. The amount is usually different from a former lab, so testing guides the plan. A team can explain what the results mean for your property.
Can a meth house be cleaned up?
In many cases, yes. The usual path is testing, removal of contaminated porous materials, thorough cleaning of surfaces and air systems, and retesting. How much work is needed depends on the extent of the contamination, and testing is what shows that.
Does meth contamination go away on its own?
Not reliably. Residue can stay on surfaces and in materials for a long time. Airing out a home may reduce odor but does not remove residue. Testing and professional cleaning are how owners learn whether a property is safe.
What are the health effects of living in a contaminated home?
Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
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.
