A vacancy rate near 13% in Scioto County means more empty houses, and owners often test a long-vacant property before reopening it. Homes in Rosemount were built in different eras, and about 70% 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
- 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
- Removal of contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, ceiling tiles and insulation
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps

What Rosemount Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
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 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.
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.
How do you test for meth residue?
A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.
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.
What is the law for meth cleanup in Ohio?
Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.
