Methamphetamine, also known as Meth, Chalk, Blade, Crystal, Crank, Speed, Quick, Yaba, Go-Fast, Shards, or Tweak, is a powerfully addictive central nervous system stimulant that is used by smoking, snorting, ingesting or injecting intravenously. Meth becomes the focus of the user’s life, often leading to the neglect of family, work, home, personal hygiene, safety, etc. Any structure that has been used as a Meth lab must undergo Meth testing and, if necessary, decontamination before it can be considered safe for occupancy. Meth use also contaminates properties with unsafe levels of Meth residue.
Meth labs are secret, or clandestine, drug labs where Methamphetamine is manufactured, stored, and/or used. Methamphetamine lab cleanup services
are required because the sites are hazardous. Meth labs require evaluation, cleanup, and decontamination by trained and certified professionals. Being exposed to Meth labs and Meth affected properties can cause serious health problems in people and animals. Potentially deadly chemicals (either Meth or by-products of cooking) can enter the body by inhalation, ingestion, or absorption through the skin. Meth use and the production of Meth can cause serious health problems not only in the users but also in others who are unintentionally or unknowingly exposed.
