The vacancy rate in Louisville is only about 8%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs. About 61% of homes in Louisville were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove.
What drug lab & meth lab cleanup covers:
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue
- Cleanup of homes where meth was heavily smoked indoors, not just made
- Removal of leftover equipment, containers and chemical residue after law enforcement releases the site
- Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed

Meth House and Residue Testing Questions Answered for Phoenix Hill, Louisville, KY
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.
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.
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.
Can I clean up after a meth lab myself?
It is not recommended. Residue cannot be seen, and household cleaners can spread it. Leftover chemicals and contaminated materials may also need regulated handling. If you suspect a former lab, leave, keep people and pets out, and call 911 or Poison Control for symptoms.
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.
What is the law for meth cleanup in Kentucky?
Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.
