Methamphetamine Cleanup & Decontamination — Restore Your Property Safely

Methamphetamine residue is invisible, odorless once cooled, and persistent. A single smoking event leaves measurable residue on every surface in the room; an active cook contaminates the entire structure, including HVAC ductwork, attic insulation, plumbing traps, and behind drywall. That residue can remain biologically active for years and is absorbed through skin contact and inhalation — children crawling on carpet and pets are at highest exposure risk.

Colorado (CDPHE Regulation 6 CCR 1014-3) and New Mexico both set strict cleanup thresholds — typically 0.5 µg per 100 cm² of surface area — and require that decontamination be performed by trained personnel following state-approved protocols, with pre- and post-decontamination sampling by an independent third-party lab. Our crews are certified, work in unmarked vehicles when discretion matters, and provide the lab-verified clearance report that landlords, real-estate transactions, insurance carriers, and state regulators actually require.

Decontamination starts with pre-decon surface sampling to map contamination levels across each room. We then build full containment with HEPA-filtered negative air pressure, remove and dispose of all heavily contaminated porous materials (carpet, padding, drywall, insulation, ceiling tile, fabric furniture), and chemically decontaminate every hard surface using state-approved cleaners and a documented wash-rinse-wash protocol. HVAC ductwork, registers, and the air handler are cleaned and decontaminated separately, and plumbing traps are flushed or replaced where contamination is suspected.

After ventilation and structural drying, an independent lab performs post-decontamination clearance sampling. Only when every sample reads below the state threshold do we issue the clearance report — typically a 20- to 40-page document with sample maps, lab results, photographs, waste manifests, and the inspector's sign-off. That packet is what makes the property re-rentable, sellable, insurable, and legally clear.
