A vacancy rate near 19% in White Pine County means more empty houses, and owners often test a long-vacant property before reopening it. About 76% of homes in Ely were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove.
A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:
- Sealed handling of contaminated materials as hazardous waste where required
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps
- Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms

Meth House and Residue Testing Questions Answered for Ely, NV
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.
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.
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.
Does meth contamination go away on its own?
Not reliably. Residue can stay on surfaces and in materials for a long time. Airing out a home may reduce odor but does not remove residue. Testing and professional cleaning are how owners learn whether a property is safe.
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.
