Renters make up about 67% of households in New York, so landlords often face the question of residue after a tenant leaves. Homes in New York were built in different eras, and about 79% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.
What drug lab & meth lab cleanup covers:
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Discreet service in an unmarked vehicle when the owner asks for it
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue

2. Test and decide
Samples show the extent of contamination. The team recommends what to remove and what can be cleaned.
3. Decontaminate in layers
Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.
4. Confirm the result
Retesting shows whether the property is ready for use. If not, targeted cleaning is repeated.

Meth Lab Cleanup Questions From Mount Hope and Kings County
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.
Does the heating and cooling system need cleaning?
Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.
Why does testing matter?
Because residue is usually invisible. Testing shows which rooms and materials are affected, guides the cleanup plan and later shows whether the work succeeded. Reports from before and after the job are what buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials often ask to see.
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 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.
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.
