Meth House Testing Services Offered By AEI Decon

AEI Decon, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, has announced that they are offering meth testing services for homes in Utah. Meth testing is necessary to determine whether a house or property is contaminated with methamphetamine residue. This is kind of testing is usually requested by people who are planning to buy or rent a particular house. In Utah, there is far more meth contamination than most people expect. Thus, real estate agents, home buyers, rental property owners, investors, and families are advised to have a house or apartment be tested for meth residues. And for those planning to rent an apartment or house, it would be advisable to check with the owner if it has undergone meth testing.

Nate Coombs, owner and general manager of AEI Decon, says, “We’re happy to announce that we can provide meth testing and remediation for homes and other residential units like apartments. Please note that residential rental properties and storage units are hotbeds for meth labs as well as meth use. Owners of such properties may want to have them tested regularly to ensure the safety of their tenants.”

It should be noted that exposure to the chemicals found in meth labs is dangerous to people and pets as well as the home. The chemicals that are used in manufacturing methamphetamine are mostly dangerous and some are flammable and are therefore potential causes of fire, explosion, and various health issues.

There are a number of things that people who suspect the presence of a meth house or meth lab should do. These include leaving the site immediately and informing the authorities about the location; not touching or opening anything in the suspected site such as boxes and other containers; avoiding spending time inside that house; making sure that the meth lab owners are not alerted; and avoiding the shutting off of the electrical supplies for that house or apartment unit. If the unit is already vacant, it may be a good idea to contact AEI Decon to perform meth testing.

While there are many stereotypical signs that people expect to see in a math lab or meth contaminated house, most contaminated properties are not obvious. In fact, most of the homes AEI Decon decontaminates have no clear indication of methamphetamine use or manufacture. It is impossible to identify a meth house or contaminated property without proper testing. This is why industry experts recommend that all properties be tested, whether they have visual signs of meth use or not.

If a property does it test positive, the owners may want a decontamination company like AEI Decon to perform a thorough cleanup and decontamination.

The usual method of cleaning a meth house is to get rid of all the contaminated materials like flooring, counter-tops, cabinets, furniture, and all items that are not part of the structural elements of the house. Most people might then try to clean the interior of the house like the ceiling, floors and walls with household cleaners. Unfortunately, such cleaners are only partially effective, leaving some of the residue behind that can recontaminate the house interior. Neither does painting over the residues work because, in time, the toxins will seep through the paint and contaminate the home.

AEI Decon has developed products that have been specially designed for getting rid of the residues from walls, ceilings, cabinets, non-porous flooring, and other items with the result that the property owner could save thousands in replacement costs while ensuring the safety of the family.
