VT CRIME, VERMONT TRAUMA SCENE CLEANUP

Meth labs contaminate the structure, heating systems, sewers  and living spaces in hotels and homes. If not removed the invisible fumes are very toxic. Baycon SPU is certified in drug lab decontamination and can test for the presence of meth in your building.

Meth lab decontamination

 The methamphetamine (meth) lab problem is growing. Meth labs, used to make the illegal drug methamphetamine, are discovered in houses, apartments, motel rooms, barns, campers, abandoned rail cars, restaurants and motor vehicles.

 As the problem grows, and agencies seek to restrict the products needed to make methamphetamine, the methods and the locations of its production are changing. Meth chemists or “cooks” as there known are deriving the chemicals needed from other sources.  Some of these sources include batteries (like Duracell) rock salt, lye, matches, cold pills, dry gas and other items. Properties used to produce meth will usually be found with a crude lab-like setting; including containers of chemicals, heat sources, and various types of lab equipment. Typically, after a lab is discovered by law enforcement, the bulk of any lab-related debris, such as chemicals and containers, is removed. Meth-related chemicals include solvents, phosphorous, iodine, and metals. If you suspect a meth lab you must notify The VT State Police At 911.

 

Tell tail signs of a meth lab include large quantities of: heet (the plastic dry gas in the red or yellow bottles), Match books (with the striker paper removed), lithium batteries, iodine crystals, road flares, lye (like red devil), Drano, acetone, battery acid (sulfuric acid), diet aids, cold pills, ephedrine, anhydrous ammonia, kerosene, and ammonia.

Above is a  small potable meth lab. These do a lot of damage to the building environment.
