What drug lab & meth lab cleanup covers:
The crew goes over the property history, any test results and the layout, then marks the zones to be contained.
Porous materials such as carpet, padding and drywall that hold residue are cut out, bagged and hauled away.
Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.
A last round of testing checks the result against the standard that applies, and the owner gets a report.

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.
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.
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.
Owners usually carry the cost of cleaning their own property. For rentals, the lease and local law decide who is responsible, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Renters policies often cover a tenant's belongings rather than the building.
Describe what you know about the property, and the team will explain how testing works.
