Meth decontamination is the step-by-step removal of residue from a building. It includes dealing with the heating and cooling system, since air ducts can spread contamination to every room.

About 51% of homes in Miami were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove. Renters make up about 69% of households in Miami, so landlords often face the question of residue after a tenant leaves.
The work often covers:

- Discreet service in an unmarked vehicle when the owner asks for it

Meth House and Residue Testing Questions Answered for Bayside, Miami, FL
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.
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.
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.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No. This page explains how meth lab cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney or the local health department.
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.
What happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
