Meth Lab Cleanup in Southern California

Meth Lab Cleanup

Meth lab cleanup that removes what you cannot see

HCI Environmental performs meth lab cleanup and clandestine drug lab decontamination for rental homes, apartments, commercial buildings, industrial spaces, abandoned structures and vehicles across Southern California. Chemicals used in methamphetamine production, including lithium, acetone, ammonia and hydrochloric acid, are hazardous on their own, and their residues settle into walls, floors, fixtures and HVAC systems long after a lab is shut down.

A cleanup is more than hauling away visible materials. Residue is absorbed by painted drywall, wood, carpet, insulation, furniture and ductwork and can continue to release contaminants for years, with children at particular risk. Each project starts with a Preliminary Site Assessment that identifies the manufacturing method used, the resulting chemical hazards and the extent of contamination.

From that assessment we build a site-specific plan covering safety controls, access, removal, disposal and testing expectations. Work follows the EPA Voluntary Guidelines for Methamphetamine Laboratory Cleanup along with state and local requirements, and the documentation shows that contamination was removed to the applicable standard.
