Many home buyers unknowingly buy homes contaminated by methamphetamine, which when smoked or manufactured, release dangerous chemicals into the air that can cling to clothing, carpets, and walls. A dream home can quickly turn into a nightmare. A contaminated home can not only cause sickness but also be uninhabitable for a long time. We have come across home buyers who have spent tens of thousands of dollars in remediation and reconstruction, adding financial burden and delay to moving in.

Signs of a Former Meth House

Look out for the possible red flags below:

• Yellow or red stain marks on countertops, carpets, or linoleum
• Blocked out windows
• Discarded cylinders
• Empty solvent jars or mason jars
• Corroded gas canisters
• Blister packs of ephedrine
• Evidence of anhydrous ammonia or hydrochloric acid
• Hydrogen peroxide bottles
• Coffee filters with red stains
• Unusual smells, such as a strong cat urine smell, ammonia, and vinegar

Home Meth Testing Kits

Home test kits are available that identify a full range of drug residue. Sydney Forensic Cleaning offers an inexpensive, on the spot test for meth residue. However, it should be noted, a positive test for meth residue does not necessarily indicate manufacturing was done in the house. It does indicate that the finished product was present.
