Testing, Removal and Cleaning After a Meth Lab in Travis White, El Paso, TX
Meth lab cleanup differs from ordinary cleaning because the hazard is chemical, not just dirt. Residue can be absorbed through skin, breathed in or carried on hands to the mouth.

About 44% of homes in El Paso were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove. After an investigation in El Paso County, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office does not clean the property. As the owner, you book testing and cleanup once it is released.
What drug lab & meth lab cleanup covers:
- Discreet service in an unmarked vehicle when the owner asks for it

Common Questions About Meth Contamination in Travis White
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
