Is Your Property Free of Methamphetamine Contamination?

Are you concerned that your property may be contaminated or may have been formerly used as a meth lab?

Do you wonder if there’s a way to find out if your property has been tested before?

The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) maintains a list of contaminated homes reported by law enforcement as Clandestine Laboratories. However, this list only contains labs discovered by police departments, and that represents only approximately 5% of the number of meth labs present, according to law enforcement. Homes known to have been used as meth labs must also be disclosed in real estate disclosures.

Still, many homeowners across the nation have found themselves unknowingly buying a home formerly used as a meth lab. The costs of properly remediating a home contaminated with methamphetamine can easily reach into the tens of thousands of dollars, which can lead to dishonest or incomplete real estate disclosures.

These sites can be very useful to find out if your property has been used as a meth lab. But it doesn’t include every case. If you want to dig deeper, the next step is to have a methamphetamine inspection company run testing to determine if your property needs decontamination.
