With roughly 54% of Monrovia households renting, many cleanup calls come from property managers who found signs of drug activity at move-out. About 70% of homes in Monrovia 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:
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Test reports and records for buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials who ask
- Removal of leftover equipment, containers and chemical residue after law enforcement releases the site

Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Monrovia, CA
Does the heating and cooling system need cleaning?
Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.
Can children and pets stay in the home during cleanup?
No. Keep children and pets out of the affected areas until cleanup and retesting are done. They are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. Find another place to stay if you can.
What are the signs of meth contamination in a home?
Possible signs include strong chemical or ammonia-like smells, stained or discolored walls, burn marks, unusual equipment and unexplained headaches or irritation. These are not proof on their own. Testing is the only way to confirm residue.
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.
Can residue come from smoking and not only from making?
Yes. Heavy indoor use can leave residue on walls, floors and furniture. The amount is usually different from a former lab, so testing guides the plan. A team can explain what the results mean for your property.
Do I have to be at the property?
Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the property is vacant.
