Testing, Removal and Cleaning After a Meth Lab in San Dimas, CA

Meth lab cleanup differs from ordinary cleaning because the hazard is chemical, not just dirt. Residue can be absorbed through skin, breathed in or carried on hands to the mouth.

Meth contamination in San Dimas or Los Angeles County is a health and safety job. When you call San Dimas Biohazard Cleanup Help, crews keep people and pets out of affected areas, control dust and manage waste the way the rules require.

Most homes in San Dimas are owner occupied, with renters at about 28% of households, so many calls come from buyers and heirs with questions about a home's history. Homes in San Dimas were built in different eras, and about 63% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.

The work often covers:

  • Cleaning or replacing parts of the heating and cooling system and its ducts
  • Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
  • Removal of leftover equipment, containers and chemical residue after law enforcement releases the site
