Meth House and Residue Testing Questions Answered for Sisters, OR
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.
What is the law for meth cleanup in Oregon?
Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.
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.
Can children and pets stay in the home during cleanup?
No. Keep children and pets out of the affected areas until cleanup and retesting are done. They are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. Find another place to stay if you can.
How long does meth lab cleanup take?
It often takes several days to more than a week, plus time for lab results. Testing happens before and after the work. If an area does not pass, it is cleaned and tested again. A local team can give a realistic schedule once it has seen 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.
