About 44% of homes in El Paso were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove. The vacancy rate in El Paso is only about 8%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs.
A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved

Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Manhattan Heights, El Paso, TX
Is this medical or legal advice?
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.
Is meth lab cleanup covered by insurance?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
