The vacancy rate in Arlington is only about 7%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs. Homes in Arlington were built in different eras, and about 33% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.
The work often covers:
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue
- Sealed handling of contaminated materials as hazardous waste where required
- Test reports and records for buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials who ask
- Removal of contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, ceiling tiles and insulation
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms

Common Questions About Meth Contamination in La Frontera
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.
What is meth lab cleanup?
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.
Can furniture and belongings be saved?
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
Is it safe to buy a house that was a meth lab?
That depends on testing and cleanup. A buyer or lender can ask for test reports and cleanup records. A cleanup team can explain what the reports show. A real estate attorney can advise on disclosure and sale terms.
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 the cleanup start right after the police leave?
Only after law enforcement releases the property. Investigators handle evidence and any dangerous chemicals first. Once the site is released, you can book testing and cleanup as the owner. Ask the agency when the release happens.
