Methamphetamine Contamination Cleanup for Highlands Owners and Landlords
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.
If you are a landlord, buyer or family member in Highlands who learned a property in Duval County was used to make or heavily use meth, call Highlands Biohazard Cleanup Help. The team explains each step and does not start until law enforcement releases the site.
About 40% of homes in Jacksonville were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove. The vacancy rate in Jacksonville is only about 8%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs.
A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:
- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
- Removal of leftover equipment, containers and chemical residue after law enforcement releases the site
- Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity

2. Professional testing
Samples are taken in protective gear and sent for analysis. Results guide the plan.
3. Decontaminate in layers
Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.
4. Retest

Common Questions About Meth Contamination in Highlands
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.
What is meth lab cleanup?
It is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. A professional team samples surfaces, removes materials that cannot be cleaned, cleans the rest and tests again. The goal is to show that the property is fit for use. It is not a job for household cleaners.
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.
Can residue come from smoking and not only from making?
Yes. Heavy indoor use can leave residue on walls, floors and furniture. The amount is usually different from a former lab, so testing guides the plan. A team can explain what the results mean for your property.
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.
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.
