Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Wallington, NJ
How do I know if a house was a meth lab?
Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.
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.
Who should I contact first?
If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.
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.
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.
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.
