Methamphetamine Decontamination Cleaning

Drug decontamination cleaning refers to the cleaning and restoration of properties that were formerly used to manufacture drugs such as methamphetamine. The hazardous materials left behind in a former lab can be toxic and extremely dangerous to the health and well-being of people in properties nearby. To ensure that the premises is safe for future habitation, it is important to enlist the services of a professional decontamination cleaning team.

Modern techniques for manufacturing illegal substances can be odourlesss. By testing both before and after the cleaning process we are able to pick up if there is any residue left over.

  1. Analysis and testing of the area. The contaminated areas are swabbed and sent to a laboratory for analysis.
  2. Disposal of waste and contaminated furniture. Contaminated furniture, household items or fixtures, as well as any remaining waste must be disposed of quickly and responsibly. If possible, remediation of the contaminated items will be attempted.
  3. Cleaning. The premises will be cleaned thoroughly by experienced technicians.

The Drug Decontamination Remediation Process

Drug decontamination remediation refers to the restoration and recovery of buildings, rooms and fixtures formerly used in the production of substances. This can be a complex process and requires the use of a specialised team.

Which areas in the building are tested?

The sites of dwelling that are commonly cleaned and tested include:

  • Kitchen – fixtures, walls and plumbing apparatus.
  • Bathroom – floors, walls, plumbing and fixtures.
  • Lounge area – all furniture, walls and carpet.

Each site is thoroughly analysed for several hazardous substances, including methamphetamine, MDMA and heavy metals. After the results return from the lab, they can be used as a baseline to compare before and after the cleaning and remediation process.

Why is pre-remediation testing so important?

Pre-remediation testing is important for several reasons. It can ensure the safety of workers and level of protective equipment necessary during the cleaning process. It also establishes whether or not contamination levels exceed state environmental standards, and if dcontamination remediation is necessary in the first place. Sampling can also outline the extent of which contamination has affect the premises and present a scope of work for the remediation team. Finally, sampling and swabbing can also highlight other hazardous materials present, including heavy metals.
