What drug lab & meth lab cleanup covers:
Until the cleanup is done, children, pets and visitors stay out of the affected areas.
The work area is sealed, workers put on protective gear, and dust is controlled so residue does not spread.
Remaining surfaces and air systems are cleaned with specialized methods, not household products.
Follow-up samples show whether the cleaning worked. Areas that do not pass are cleaned and tested again.

Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the property is vacant.
No. This page explains how meth lab cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney or the local health department.
A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.
It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
It is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. A professional team samples surfaces, removes materials that cannot be cleaned, cleans the rest and tests again. The goal is to show that the property is fit for use. It is not a job for household cleaners.
Ask about discreet arrival in an unmarked vehicle if privacy matters.
