Meth Cleanup

Homes contaminated by methamphetamine can pose serious health and safety risks to both residents and neighbors. The chemicals used in the manufacturing process and in general use are highly corrosive and invasive; these dangerous chemicals linger and are detected in houses years after initial contamination.

With an ever growing number of properties in Utah being contaminated by methamphetamine, Five Point Restoration has developed a decontamination program to address this issue. Our Decontamination Specialists follow national, state and local regulations and are certified to clean and restore safe living conditions to any residence that has been contaminated. We don’t stop until the property is clean, and all our jobs are cleared by governmental inspectors from the health department. For your peace of mind we provide you with a written affidavit and testing results provided by an independent testing facility as evidence of successful decontamination.

We know that dealing with methamphetamine contaminated properties can be a stressful and potentially dangerous situation. The Decontamination Specialists at Five Point Restoration can help ease that burden and restore a healthy living condition to your property.

Methamphetamine is known as a highly addictive stimulant drug that has severe effects on the brain and nervous system.

The processing required to make methamphetamine is easier and more accessible than ever. An investment of a few hundred dollars in over-the-counter medications and chemicals can produce thousands of dollars worth of methamphetamine. The drug can be made in a makeshift lab that can fit into a suitcase.

Clandestine labs known as “mom and pop” labs are found in rural, city and suburban residences; barns, garages and other outbuildings; back rooms of businesses; apartments; hotel and motel rooms; storage facilities; vacant buildings; and vehicles.

People who manufacture meth do so in labs that often result in explosions and fires. Any number of solvents, precursors and hazardous agents are found in unmarked containers at these sites. These hazardous chemicals can enter the central nervous system and cause detrimental health effects.  Environmental damage is another consequence of these reckless actions.

Each pound of meth produced leaves behind five or six pounds of toxic waste.  This waste requires cleanup by a certified professional to properly remediate the chemical residue left behind.stem.

Meth can be smoked, snorted, injected or ingested orally.  This means that in most meth houses the chemical substance can be found in multiple rooms, in the air ducts and on ceilings, walls and surfaces.
