About 42% of homes in San Antonio were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove. Renters make up about 48% of households in San Antonio, so landlords often face the question of residue after a tenant leaves.
A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:
- Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed
- Discreet service in an unmarked vehicle when the owner asks for it
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue
Step by Step: How a Meth House Is Cleaned in Oak Hills
2. Sample before touching anything
Testing first means the team knows what it is dealing with, and it avoids guesswork about where to remove materials.
3. Decontaminate
Remaining surfaces and air systems are cleaned with specialized methods, not household products.
4. Test again and record
The team takes final samples and prepares records the owner can keep for insurers, lenders or future buyers.

What Oak Hills Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
Who should I contact first?
If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.
Can children and pets stay in the home during cleanup?
No. Keep children and pets out of the affected areas until cleanup and retesting are done. They are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. Find another place to stay if you can.
Does meth contamination go away on its own?
Not reliably. Residue can stay on surfaces and in materials for a long time. Airing out a home may reduce odor but does not remove residue. Testing and professional cleaning are how owners learn whether a property is safe.
Why does testing matter?
Because residue is usually invisible. Testing shows which rooms and materials are affected, guides the cleanup plan and later shows whether the work succeeded. Reports from before and after the job are what buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials often ask to see.
Can residue come from smoking and not only from making?
Yes. Heavy indoor use can leave residue on walls, floors and furniture. The amount is usually different from a former lab, so testing guides the plan. A team can explain what the results mean for your property.
What happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
