Testing, Removal and Cleaning After a Meth Lab in Janesville, WI

The vacancy rate in Janesville is only about 3%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs. Homes in Janesville were built in different eras, and about 63% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.

What Janesville Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
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.
What are the signs of meth contamination in a home?
Possible signs include strong chemical or ammonia-like smells, stained or discolored walls, burn marks, unusual equipment and unexplained headaches or irritation. These are not proof on their own. Testing is the only way to confirm residue.
Can a meth house be cleaned up?
In many cases, yes. The usual path is testing, removal of contaminated porous materials, thorough cleaning of surfaces and air systems, and retesting. How much work is needed depends on the extent of the contamination, and testing is what shows that.
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.
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.
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.
