You may have recently bought a home that you found out was used to manufacture drugs such as meth. This can be very dangerous to your health and it is advised that you hire a professional commercial drug lab testing cleaning company to clean your home before you move into it. A home that was used as a commercial drug lab can potentially make you and your family seriously ill.

How does a commercial drug lab testing company clean your home? Here are just a few steps they take to ensure your home is safe to live in.

Inspection Of The Property And Ventilation

The first step a commercial drug lab testing cleaning company will do when they enter your home to clean it is to inspect the entire property. They will walk your home from top to bottom checking how extensive the damage might have been to the building from the manufacture of the drug made there. 

They will inspect the walls, flooring and carpets, sinks and toilets, and the home's HVAC and plumbing systems to see if any repairs need to be made to them. They will then give you a report on the extent of the clean-up and what might need to be replaced before you are able to move in.

Before any clean-up process begins, they will remove any wayward particles in the air by using commercial-sized blowers and negative air scrubbers to ventilate the building. This can make the air safer for the cleaning crew to do their work, as well as safer for you when you return home.

Remove Contaminated Objects

Once the commercial drug lab testing cleaning company has formulated a clean-up plan based on their initial walk-through of your home, they will begin removing contaminated objects such as furniture, tables, chairs, and rugs that have tested to have chemicals embedded too deeply within them to clean properly. 

It's important to let the professionals remove any objects and furniture that are too severely contaminated because they can adversely affect your health in the long run. Don't try to remove these items yourself as a professional cleaning crew has special protective equipment and is trained in how to properly handle these items.

Clean The Home Completely

Once every contaminated item that needs to be removed is gone, the commercial drug lab testing cleaning service will then wash and decontaminate your home. This means hard cleaning of any remaining items like tables, chairs, walls, floors, kitchen cabinets, and bathrooms. They will flush your home's water system to ensure the pipes are chemical-free.

They will vacuum the floors, clean your HVAC system and wash every part of your house to ensure no chemicals remain. After they have washed your home completely, they will do testing to ensure the home is safe for you to return.
