Meth House Cleanup and Residue Testing for Hot Sulphur Springs, CO Properties
Drug lab decontamination removes chemical residue and leftover materials from a place where drugs were manufactured. It starts with testing and ends with testing again to check the work.

About 63% of homes in Hot Sulphur Springs were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove.

What drug lab & meth lab cleanup covers:

- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms

What Hot Sulphur Springs Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
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 I clean up after a meth lab myself?
It is not recommended. Residue cannot be seen, and household cleaners can spread it. Leftover chemicals and contaminated materials may also need regulated handling. If you suspect a former lab, leave, keep people and pets out, and call 911 or Poison Control for symptoms.
How do I know if a house was a meth lab?
Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.
Does the cleanup start right after the police leave?
Only after law enforcement releases the property. Investigators handle evidence and any dangerous chemicals first. Once the site is released, you can book testing and cleanup as the owner. Ask the agency when the release happens.
Who should I contact first?
If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.
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.
