With about 72% of Minneapolis homes built before 1980, cleanup may involve older materials that need careful handling and testing. With roughly 52% of Minneapolis households renting, many cleanup calls come from property managers who found signs of drug activity at move-out.

What Central Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
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.
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.
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.
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 happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
How do I know if a house was a meth lab?
Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.
