Meth contamination is residue that settles on surfaces and soaks into porous materials such as drywall, carpet and furniture. Cleaning it takes specialized methods, not household products.

Vacant homes make up about 14% of housing in Oswego County, and empty buildings can be misused for drug production or heavy use. Homes in Fulton were built in different eras, and about 85% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved

Porous materials such as carpet, padding and drywall that hold residue are cut out, bagged and hauled away.

Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.
4. Confirm the result
Retesting shows whether the property is ready for use. If not, targeted cleaning is repeated.

Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Fulton, NY
Is it safe to buy a house that was a meth lab?
That depends on testing and cleanup. A buyer or lender can ask for test reports and cleanup records. A cleanup team can explain what the reports show. A real estate attorney can advise on disclosure and sale terms.
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.
Is meth lab cleanup covered by insurance?
It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
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.
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.
