The cooking of these nasty chemicals inside a house, apartment, hotel, etc. leaves a hazardous waste operations that should only be addressed by trained individuals.  Depending on the recipe used, phosgene gas can be generated which is very toxic.

If you believe you have a METH lab on your rental property, or neighboring house, it is best to call the local police.  They will remove the criminals and drugs leaving behind a potentially dangerous residue on the walls, acid and other chemicals in the drains and septic.

Villa Environmental Consultants, Inc., can aid you in the process of testing the house to see if a clean up is needed.  If a clean up is needed, we can conduct clearance sampling to verify that the clean up is successful.

Expect to see a lot more regulations from local health departments and the state regarding the clean up of the labs.

UPDATE!  Kalamazoo County recently passed their own ordinance regarding the sampling required to determine if a meth house is clean enough for occupancy.

The state of Michigan passed a slew of laws dealing with meth clean ups including a law that requires the Department of Health to develop science based clean up levels.
