Meth Residue & Drug Lab Contamination
The dangers that remain after meth labs and their cooks are out of work don’t dissipate over time. Meth residue remediation isn’t just a process of decontamination of the location where meth was produced or smoked. The entire meth house or property may have been filled with toxins, from the carpet to the furniture, drywall, HVAC system. The toxic chemicals that are emitted when producing or smoking meth can be absorbed through ingestion, skin absorption and can even inhalation.
The dangers of meth residue or drug manufacturing aren’t only confined to the walls of the property. Many times waste is dumped outside the location, chemicals are burned in order to quickly dispose of evidence, dumped down the drain and in locations that have well or septic systems the filtration systems can be completely contaminated, as well as the soil.

Meth Residue Testing
The first step is an onsite survey and inspection. Once any materials and equipment used in the manufacturing of meth or the drug lab equipment as been removed, an onsite survey and inspection is completed to gain a preliminary assessment of the property where the goal is to provide information to assist with the development of the RAP. Any information gathered in the first step of the remediation process is documented in a written summary.
Secondly, meth residue testing is required. The need for meth residue testing in the meth lab remediation process is solely dependent on the circumstances of each property. Drug residue testing can significantly reduce costs associated in the remediation process by singling out contaminated areas only and the automatic discarding of any furnishings or materials too contaminated to be cleaned.
Meth Residue Cleanup
The Remediation Process of a meth lab is a specialised service. BioHaz follows a stringent process to ensure the property is remediated to a hazard and habitable zone. A remediation action plan is drafted based on the pre forensic testing results and determines how the affected areas will be remediated to a safe and hazard-free condition. The remediation action needed for each property is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Once the remediation is completed, the post-forensic testing occurs, which is a crucial step of the decontamination process. The property will be re-tested and samples sent to an independent lab for analysis. The post forensic test determines whether the property has been cleared to a safe state, and to comply with the Australia standards, the final finding must be less than 0.5µg/100cm2.
Guaranteed Meth Lab Clean Up Clearances
When a person enters a meth lab before it has been properly cleaned and decontaminated, contamination becomes a real and serious health risk. Immediate exposure to a meth lab is serious. Toxicity levels and the sudden release of gasses can lead to long term health issues and potential disability due to the associated respiratory effects of corrosive and poisonous gasses.
Further short and long-term health risks associated with meth labs can include eye irritation, respiratory issues, insomnia, skin irritation, nausea, vomiting, headaches and chest tightness.
