Crime Scene Cleanup - Methamphetamine Cleanup

The production of Methamphetamine, or “Meth,” can cause serious health hazards such as severe eye and lung damage, chemical burns and death. A crime scene requiring methamphetamine lab cleanup is a clandestine operation requiring a variety of services including:

• Physical on-site inspection
• Law enforcement records research identifying the removal of gross contaminates
• Physical review of the property and development of sampling strategy
• Quality controlled sample collection
• Sample analysis by certified laboratory
• Decontamination plan implementation
• Complete process documentation

Improper cleanup can leave lingering traces of harmful chemicals and irritants, causing sickness and other maladies. Additionally, the potential for lawsuits is high against a landlord who does not take proper steps to ensure that a proper crime scene cleanup has been performed.

Unlike other services surrounding disinfection or cleanup, a decontamination program must be structured to meet specific regulatory agency requirements to ensure that any residual contaminant levels are below established threshold or risk-based cleanup levels. Post decontamination verification sampling must also be performed, usually followed by a closure report documenting all procedures and test results.

There are not many organizations or companies that possess the level of experience, as well as the training and certification necessary to properly and efficiently handle methamphetamine lab cleanup and crime screen cleanup. The crime scene technicians at HSA use advanced cleanup techniques and technology in order to ensure that the methamphetamine lab cleanup meets both customer and regulatory standards.
