If you are a landlord, homeowner, commercial business owner, or represent a financial institution whose property has been used as a cook site for methamphetamine, contact us for comprehensive clandestine drug lab cleanup and remediation. As soon as law enforcement personnel determine no explosion risk is present and provide clearance for entry, we can begin the testing process to determine if any areas of your property are contaminated with meth residue.
The site is inspected, samples are taken from surface areas in each room to determine whether methamphetamine residue is present. Testing is conducted by an accredited laboratory and/or on-site testing as required for certification.
Properties where at least one sample site exceeds the state mandated threshold (1.0 micrograms per 100 sq. cm.) for mandatory West Virginia clandestine drug lab remediation are eligible for meth lab cleanup services. You will receive a report indicating the certified lab test results, as well as additional findings from the property assessment, as relevant.
If meth residue is indicated, we work with you to complete and file all require paperwork with WVDHHR to secure approval to perform meth lab remediation services on your behalf.
Once approval is received to begin remediation, we will work with you to schedule your meth cleanup service. All meth-contaminated furnishings, carpeting, property, and debris found on-site are photographed and documented. Any remaining on-site clandestine drug manufacturing materials, drug syringes, pipes, paraphernalia, and meth-related hazardous materials are rendered inoperable, then handled according to local, West Virginia state, and federal laws and standards. All contaminated property and materials are bagged & hauled away for proper disposal.
All remaining meth-laden surfaces are thoroughly vacuumed and/or cleaned, treated to eliminate methamphetamine residue, scrubbed, rinsed, and decontaminated.
After meth lab remediation service is completed, Appalachian Environmental Testing & Consulting performs follow-up sampling and lab-certified and/or on-site testing, as appropriate, to ensure surfaces in the initially identified meth-contaminated rooms meet or exceed stringent West Virginia standards. Additional remediation is performed, if necessary.
Meth levels following remediation must be at or below the mandated threshold under applicable West Virginia state law. Upon confirmation of successful meth lab cleanup and remediation to restore your property, completion of any additional on-site assessments, reviews, and checks, the decontamination is documented. You will receive a report for your records, which may also be used to certify that the property has been professionally remediated and is cleared for habitation.
We understand how important it is to have your house or rental unit cleaned up promptly after exposure to methamphetamine-related hazards. That is why Appalachian Environmental Testing & Consulting strives to expedite all service requests for West Virginia meth lab cook site cleanup and remediation.
Oftentimes, a landlord or homeowner may suspect their rental unit or house is being used to produce meth, but is unsure what steps to take and where to turn. If local authorities have alerted you that your property, or a neighboring unit, has in fact been exposed to harmful methamphetamine manufacturing activities, contact us right away. You may have been exposed. Request that the property be tested and cleaned, if necessary. Professional meth remediation will ensure that you and your family, as well as any incoming tenants, will be able to enjoy a clean, safe home environment.
No. Not only would attempting to clean up a meth lab yourself expose you to a broad range of hazardous and dangerous chemicals, but it is also illegal to do so in West Virginia.
While only methamphetamine residue testing verified by an accredited lab or professional on-site testing, along with evidence of illicit manufacturing activity can certify that a property was used as a meth lab, there are some signs that may indicate that the property should be tested. While no one sign alone, or even a few together, is likely to indicate the presence of a drug lab, when all or most of these signs are present, it may indicate a problem.
