Meth Lab Cleanup in Fort Myers, FL
Certified remediation of clandestine drug lab contamination — chemical residue that lingers in a property long after the lab itself is gone.
What meth lab cleanup actually involves
Chemicals used in methamphetamine production stick to surfaces and can linger in HVAC systems, drywall, carpet, and other porous materials well after visible evidence of a lab is removed — simple cleaning doesn't neutralize this residue.
The Florida Department of Health maintains clandestine laboratory decontamination standards and a list of approved contamination-assessment professionals, since there's no single statewide law requiring a specific cleanup process — property owners are responsible for ensuring the property is properly decontaminated before it's sold, rented, or reoccupied.
We coordinate independent lab testing before and after remediation where appropriate, so landlords, buyers, and sellers have documented proof of contamination levels and successful decontamination.
Certified protocol isn't a slogan on this job — it's the standard we're held to on every property, every time.
We follow decontamination practices consistent with Florida Department of Health guidance for clandestine laboratory remediation, since Florida law directs DOH to maintain these standards even without a single statewide mandate on process.
Technicians wear full PPE appropriate to chemical residue exposure, consistent with OSHA hazard communication and respiratory protection standards.
We coordinate independent laboratory wipe sampling before and after remediation to document contamination levels objectively, not just visually.
"Landlords are often surprised that a quick coat of paint doesn't solve this. If the drywall and subfloor haven't been tested and the HVAC hasn't been checked, residue can still be sitting there behind a fresh-looking wall."
— Alex, Lead Technician

Meth Lab Cleanup — FAQs
Is there a Florida law requiring meth lab cleanup?
Florida doesn't have a single statewide law mandating a specific process, but the Department of Health maintains clandestine lab decontamination standards and a list of approved professionals. As the property owner, you're responsible for ensuring it's safely decontaminated before it's reoccupied, sold, or rented.
Can you test a rental for meth contamination?
Yes. We coordinate independent lab wipe sampling and perform decontamination if the results come back positive — a common request from landlords between tenants.
Does a fresh coat of paint solve the problem?
No. Residue can remain in drywall, subflooring, and HVAC systems beneath a repainted surface. Testing is the only way to know for sure.
Do you provide documentation for buyers or sellers?
Yes, we provide test results and remediation documentation that can support a real estate transaction.
What areas do you serve?
