The vacancy rate in Middlesex County is only about 4%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs. Homes in Cochituate were built in different eras, and about 73% 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:
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Sealed handling of contaminated materials as hazardous waste where required
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved
- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
Step by Step: How a Meth House Is Cleaned in Cochituate
2. Sample before touching anything
Testing first means the team knows what it is dealing with, and it avoids guesswork about where to remove materials.
3. Decontaminate in layers
Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.
4. Final testing and next steps
Results show what has been fixed and what, if anything, remains. The team explains the options.

Common Questions About Meth Contamination in Cochituate
Can furniture and belongings be saved?
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
Does the heating and cooling system need cleaning?
Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.
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.
Who pays for meth lab cleanup at a rental?
Owners usually carry the cost of cleaning their own property. For rentals, the lease and local law decide who is responsible, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Renters policies often cover a tenant's belongings rather than the building.
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.
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.
