You find out after moving in or Buying the Home that it use to be an Illegal drug manufacturing home aka a meth house. A meth house can be any type of home from the $2 million mansion, trailer, typical suburban home, or even a retail store Bathroom.

Here are some signs that the home may have been involved in illegal drug activity.

Equipment left on Property:

• Scuba Tanks

• Camping Stoves

• Propane Tanks

Trash Left on Property:

• Rags With Red And yellow stains

• Coffee Filters With Red Stains

• Rubber Hoses

• Empty Bottles of Automotive Fluids

• Empty Blister Packs of OTC medication

Heavy Smells of:

• Fertilizers

• Rotten Eggs

• Gas

• Ammonia

The Exterior Of the home:

• Boarded Up Windows/Blacked Out Windows

What makes the home toxic is the absorption off the chemicals used in the cooking process. All the drywall, wood, ceiling and any appliances have absorbed the chemicals that were cooked into them. After the cooking process is done the toxins will release from any porous materials in the home

1 Pound of Cooked Meth Will make 5 Pounds of poisonous waste. When purchasing a home that may be questionable, an Industrial Hygienist can be called in to check for any potential health hazards present.

SERVPRO can take the process from beginning to end and return a healthy home to you and your family.
