Vacant homes make up about 28% of housing in Sharp County, and empty buildings can be misused for drug production or heavy use. About 58% of homes in Highland were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove.

- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
- Removal of contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, ceiling tiles and insulation
- 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 Highland and Sharp County
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.
Do I have to be at the property?
Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the property is vacant.
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.
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.
What are the health effects of living in a contaminated home?
Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
