Most homes in Severna Park are owner occupied, with renters at about 9% of households, so many calls come from buyers and heirs with questions about a home's history. Homes in Severna Park were built in different eras, and about 52% 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:
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue

What Severna Park Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
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.
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.
Is it safe to buy a house that was a meth lab?
That depends on testing and cleanup. A buyer or lender can ask for test reports and cleanup records. A cleanup team can explain what the reports show. A real estate attorney can advise on disclosure and sale terms.
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 a meth house be cleaned up?
In many cases, yes. The usual path is testing, removal of contaminated porous materials, thorough cleaning of surfaces and air systems, and retesting. How much work is needed depends on the extent of the contamination, and testing is what shows that.
Why does testing matter?
Because residue is usually invisible. Testing shows which rooms and materials are affected, guides the cleanup plan and later shows whether the work succeeded. Reports from before and after the job are what buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials often ask to see.
