Methamphetamine Contamination Cleanup for Wedgwood Owners and Landlords
Meth lab cleanup is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. Residue can sit in walls, floors, soft materials and vents, even when nothing looks wrong.
If you are a landlord, buyer or family member in Wedgwood who learned a property in Tarrant County was used to make or heavily use meth, call Wedgwood Biohazard Cleanup Help. The team explains each step and does not start until law enforcement releases the site.
Cleanup in Tarrant County starts only after law enforcement, such as the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office, releases the property. Ask the agency when the site is cleared. If a neighbor in Tarrant County raised concerns about a property, the Tarrant County Public Health Department may already know about it. You can get a cleanup team for the testing and decontamination.
The work often covers:
- Removal of contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, ceiling tiles and insulation
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps
- Odor treatment for chemical smells that linger after materials are removed
- Cleaning or replacing parts of the heating and cooling system and its ducts
- Sealed handling of contaminated materials as hazardous waste where required

Common Questions About Meth Contamination in Wedgwood
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.
Who should I contact first?
If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.
Does the Texas victim compensation program pay for meth lab cleanup?
Cleanup after drug activity is generally not part of the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program, which pays up to $2,250 for crime scene cleanup after certain crimes. Ask the Attorney General's office at (800) 983-9933 whether a specific case qualifies.
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.
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.
