Most homes in Lake County are owner occupied, with renters at about 22% of households, so many calls come from buyers and heirs with questions about a home's history. Fewer homes in Lake County, about 22%, were built before 1980, but newer drywall and carpet can still hold residue.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Test reports and records for buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials who ask
- Removal of contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, ceiling tiles and insulation
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
Step by Step: How a Meth House Is Cleaned in Astor
2. Remove what cannot be cleaned
Porous materials such as carpet, padding and drywall that hold residue are cut out, bagged and hauled away.
3. Decontaminate in layers
Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.
4. Test again and record
The team takes final samples and prepares records the owner can keep for insurers, lenders or future buyers.

What Astor Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
Is it safe to buy a house that was a meth lab?
That depends on testing and cleanup. A buyer or lender can ask for test reports and cleanup records. A cleanup team can explain what the reports show. A real estate attorney can advise on disclosure and sale terms.
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.
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.
Does the cleanup start right after the police leave?
Only after law enforcement releases the property. Investigators handle evidence and any dangerous chemicals first. Once the site is released, you can book testing and cleanup as the owner. Ask the agency when the release happens.
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.
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.
