Meth Lab Cleanup After Drug Bust

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

The drug dealer’s girl friend took the man to meet the dealer outside a Kentucky Fried Chicken a few miles from where he supposedly lived. She took her boyfriend the money and he told them to wait there. Little did they know the man was an undercover police officer and that another unmarked vehicle was following him back to his house. The dealer returned with the crystal meth the man had purchased.

The man did this two more times over the next six weeks. At that point, the girlfriend, believing this guy was safe, gave him the dealer’s address and met him and the front door to exchange the marked bills for another quantity of the meth. At this point, recognizing they had more than enough evidence to secure a warrant went and applied for one with the magistrate judge. After securing it, they took three police units with six officers and executed the warrant searching the premises. It did not take long to find the meth lab, locate a huge amount of currency and arrest the dealer. After processing the scene, they contacted a certified meth lab cleaner company to come and assess the lab.

Under state law, the meth lab cleaning company which also conducts suicide scene clean ups, accident scene clean ups, staph infection clean ups, odor removal clean ups and other death scene clean ups in addition to blood scene clean ups and crime scene clean ups, had many steps to follow to do this. First, they had to ”survey” the lab, read all the reports and the waste manifest from the lab removal company. Then they had to prepare a remediation report and submit it for approval. Then they had to execute the plan, cleaning the lab. Finally they had to secure a third party expert to verify that the cleaning met regulatory standards. Then they issued a report to the appropriate authority stating what they had done and confirming its completion.

Meth Lab Cleanup Procedures

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

The increase of methamphetamine production and the covert and makeshift labs that create the addictive drug has spawned a veritable industry of meth lab cleaner companies throughout the United States seeking to obtain the cleanup work. Few of the fifty states have taken seriously the safe and thorough cleaning of these meth lab sites.  Despite that, many companies that previously engaged in crime scene cleaning, homicide scene cleaning, accident scene cleaning, suicide scene cleaning, death scene cleaning, blood scene cleaning and even staph infection scene cleaning have added meth lab cleaning to their gamut of services provided.

The tasks of a legitimate meth lab cleanup company are many. They include an inspection of the meth lab site, examination of law enforcement records regarding the removal of contaminates, and the creation of a plan to sample parts of the site. An analysis of the samples that are procured, the development of a work plan that must be approved by the applicable law enforcement and/or environmental authorities, the submission of a written plan detailing the meth lab cleanup must be included prior to cleanup. After executing the decontamination process and cleanup, a verification by sampling to be conducted by a third party after the meth lab cleaning and a fully comprehensive final report detailing the results and verification of the cleanup have to be filed.

These cleanup procedures can be required by state statutes and regulations, but should be undertaken regardless.  Meth lab clean ups require greater documentation production than the other work (crime scene cleanups, accident scene cleanups, homicide scene cleanups, suicide scene cleanups, odor removal cleanups and death scene cleanups not to mention staph infection scene cleanups) that these companies often perform. Until the epidemic of meth lab usage declines, it is likely that these companies will continue to have an important role in this law enforcement and environmental challenge.

Increase In Covert Meth Labs Leads To Increased Biohazards

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Meth lab cleanup companies are relatively recent products of the epidemic of methamphetamine use in the last fifteen years. In the mid nineteen eighties crack cocaine was the narcotic that devastated the urban centers of our country. The cheaper (and more easily addictive) form of cocaine ravaged inner cities throughout the country as users saw there was an affordable alternative to powder cocaine, often preferred by more affluent suburban kids. As the peril of crack cocaine use was assaulted by mandatory minimum legislation and the formation of municipal and regional drug task forces, the crack cocaine epidemic was blunted.

However, in the nineteen nineties, a new lurid drug raised its head. Actually crystal meth (or methamphetamine) was not new. But its popularity did soar. Unlike crack cocaine, though, it got its foothold in rural areas. Much cheaper to produce than crack cocaine because its constituent compounds are vastly cheaper, customers with less money could afford to dabble with it. Also its popularity stemmed from the fact that practically anyone with a kitchen could produce the stuff provided they have a criminal bent.

This is where the meth lab cleaning companies come in. A meth lab possesses numerous potential chemical hazards. As the epidemic gained steam, and the number of meth lab-related accidents spiked, due to negligence in the cooking process, the need for professional meth lab cleaners correspondingly spiked. As some of these companies previously performed murder scene cleanings, crime scene cleanings, homicide scene cleanings, suicide scene cleanings, blood scene cleanings, staph infection cleanings, mrsa infection cleanings and bio hazard cleanings, they possessed some expertise in this kind of remediation work. But as a few states increased the licensing requirements to perform meth lab cleanup work, the field became more specialized. Only time will reveal if this current epidemic will continue to ravage the lives of its users or if law enforcement and treatment measures will stem the tide.

Comprehensive Range of Scene Clean Up Services

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Crime scene clean up companies vary in terms of the kind of services which they may provide. Some focus on accident scene cleanings. Others focus on death scene cleaning, or homicide and suicide scene. Many tend to work on MRSA infection or staph infection cleanup. And yet others will perform meth lab cleanings.

Perhaps the most effective crime scene cleanup companies are those that offer a comprehensive range of services: the ability to handle all of these types of cleanups not to mention odor removal or odor scene cleanups, blood scene removal or blood scene cleanups and trauma scene cleanings. The virtue of being so multi-faceted is that they have exposure to many types of problems relating to hazardous chemicals. This enables them to call on a greater level of experience when faced with a new problem.

Sometimes particularly with the cleaning of a meth lab, a meth lab cleaning company may identify a unique chemical they have not seen before. By learning to determine how to effectively and completely eliminate a new hazardous material they will be better prepared to handle new problems that other crime scene cleaners may miss.

Regardless, it should be noted that there are an abundance of different types of crime scene cleaner companies in today’s marketplace. Until we manage to live in a crime-free or accident-free world we can expect the need for their services to continue to exist.
