Methamphetamine can cause acute and chronic illnesses and even death. There is also a risk for explosion and fire from the ingredients used to manufacture meth and other drugs. Chemicals used to “cook” meth and other drugs leave a hazardous residue that is formed during the cooking process that contaminates not only a structure, but may affect the plumbing, HVAC system, yard, well and septic tank. Meth use can also leave residue contamination throughout a home’s interior that will not dissipate over time. It needs to be professionally remediated.
