Methamphetamine Contamination Cleanup for Savannah Owners and Landlords
Meth lab cleanup is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. Residue can sit in walls, floors, soft materials and vents, even when nothing looks wrong.
Across Andrew County, you can find local biohazard cleanup for meth lab and drug lab jobs by calling Savannah Biohazard Cleanup Help. In Savannah, that can mean one affected room or an entire house.
With roughly 37% of Savannah households renting, many cleanup calls come from property managers who found signs of drug activity at move-out. Homes in Savannah were built in different eras, and about 58% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.
A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:
- Discreet service in an unmarked vehicle when the owner asks for it
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
- Removal of leftover equipment, containers and chemical residue after law enforcement releases the site
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity

Meth Lab Cleanup Questions From Savannah and Andrew County
Can residue come from smoking and not only from making?
Yes. Heavy indoor use can leave residue on walls, floors and furniture. The amount is usually different from a former lab, so testing guides the plan. A team can explain what the results mean for your property.
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.
What removes drug residue?
Specialized cleaning methods, not everyday sprays. Crews remove porous materials that hold residue, then clean hard surfaces and air systems in a set order. Household cleaners can spread residue, so a cleanup team and its testing plan are the safer route.
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.
How long does meth lab cleanup take?
It often takes several days to more than a week, plus time for lab results. Testing happens before and after the work. If an area does not pass, it is cleaned and tested again. A local team can give a realistic schedule once it has seen the property.
Can I clean up after a meth lab myself?
It is not recommended. Residue cannot be seen, and household cleaners can spread it. Leftover chemicals and contaminated materials may also need regulated handling. If you suspect a former lab, leave, keep people and pets out, and call 911 or Poison Control for symptoms.
