Meth Lab Clean Up

What to do if you suspect your property has been used as a meth lab

If you know or suspect your property has been used as a meth lab, you must leave immediately.  See here for signs your property has been used as a meth lab.

Exposure to bi-products of meth production is extremely harmful to you and your families health.

They can be cancer causing; damage organs; give birth defects to unborn children; could induce severe headaches; or be responsible for other health issues.

In addition to this, contents put in the property after the meth lab has been in operation will also be contaminated.

If you are concerned about a workplace you own, you also may be liable for future health issues experienced as a result of exposure to the bi-products of meth production.

Contact us now to see how we can help test your property to see if it’s been used for Meth consumption or as a lab; or restore it to its original condition, making it safe for your and your family or employees.

How much Does it Cost to clean up a Meth Lab or Ice Lab?

The cost of cleaning a meth lab or ice lab will vary significantly depending on a number of circumstances.

As a general rule, the bigger the property, and the more contamination, labour and swabs that are required, the more the cost.

Other factors to consider include:

• Property Size – how big is the overall property? As a general rule, the bigger the property is, the more manual labour is required for cleaning and decontamination, so the higher the cost;
• Amount of Property Contents – The level of health risk is so high in a meth lab property, that most contents are likely to need treatment or to be discarded. This includes, for example, furniture, bedding, curtains, blinds, shutters, carpet, underlay, and tiles. As a general rule, if there are no furnishings, this will generally be cheaper than if there are;
• Soil Testing and Disposal – If there is damage to the exterior property and garden, this will generally cost more;
• Air Conditioning or other vents in the property – if there are actual vents that require decontamination this can impact labour and therefore cost.

To get a more defined meth lab clean up quote, we generally need to inspect the property in question. Please contact us on (07) 5520 7733 to arrange a meth lab cleaning quote.

Clandenstine Meth Labs – Did You Know?

Did you know a report published by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission on Clandestine Drug Labs in Australia shows two-thirds of meth labs found in recent years were in residential locations?

While the majority were home to addicts, the proportion of industrial scale laboratories also increased.
