Testing, Removal and Cleaning After a Meth Lab in The Hills, NJ
Meth lab cleanup differs from ordinary cleaning because the hazard is chemical, not just dirt. Residue can be absorbed through skin, breathed in or carried on hands to the mouth.

Fewer homes in Somerset County, about 46%, were built before 1980, but newer drywall and carpet can still hold residue. The vacancy rate in Somerset County is only about 2%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs.

- Test reports and records for buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials who ask
- Removal of contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, ceiling tiles and insulation

Common Questions About Meth Contamination in The Hills
What are the health effects of living in a contaminated home?
Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
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 meth lab cleanup covered by insurance?
It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
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.
Does the heating and cooling system need cleaning?
Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.
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.
