About 56% of homes in Winter Park were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove. The vacancy rate in Winter Park is only about 10%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs.
A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved
- Cleaning or replacing parts of the heating and cooling system and its ducts
- Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed
- Removal of contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, ceiling tiles and insulation

What Winter Park Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
What happens to the waste?
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.
How do you test for meth residue?
A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.
How do I know if a house was a meth lab?
Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.
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 meth contamination go away on its own?
Not reliably. Residue can stay on surfaces and in materials for a long time. Airing out a home may reduce odor but does not remove residue. Testing and professional cleaning are how owners learn whether a property is safe.
Can a meth house be cleaned up?
In many cases, yes. The usual path is testing, removal of contaminated porous materials, thorough cleaning of surfaces and air systems, and retesting. How much work is needed depends on the extent of the contamination, and testing is what shows that.
