With roughly 54% of Atlanta households renting, many cleanup calls come from property managers who found signs of drug activity at move-out. About 43% of homes in Atlanta were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove.
A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:
- Test reports and records for buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials who ask
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Cleaning or replacing parts of the heating and cooling system and its ducts
- Removal of leftover equipment, containers and chemical residue after law enforcement releases the site

Meth House and Residue Testing Questions Answered for East Atlanta, Atlanta, GA
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.
What is the law for meth cleanup in Georgia?
Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.
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.
Do I have to be at the property?
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.
What are the health effects of living in a contaminated home?
Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
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.
