Dangers from Meth Homes to Unsuspecting Home Buyers
Homes with Meth Contamination are:
- Highly Dangerous Health Risks
- Often Undetectable to the Untrained Eye
- Can be Highly Costly to Properly Clean
- May result in the need for Demolition at the Expense of the current Home Owner
If you're looking to buy a home... The informative Video below will help you decern the need for a meth test.
It's
Heavily Suggested that if you are buying a Foreclosed Home that you
request a Meth Test from your home inspector Prior to buying the home...
Save
your self anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 or in some case home
demolition because of the high levels of meth contamination found in a
home. If a home is tested positive for meth levels and it is higher
than the environmently defined safety levels for your state. All of
these fees and expenses for properly cleaning and removing the
contamination found on the property will be paid by the owner at the
time of the discovery.

According to the Methlabhomes.com
'The risk of injury from chemical exposure depends on the chemical
itself, the concentration, the quantity, and the length and route of
exposure. Chemicals may enter the body by being breathed, eaten,
injected (by a contaminated needle or accidental skin prick), or
absorbed by the skin, according to the Washington State Environmental
Health and Safety Agency. Anyone spending time in an active or former
meth lab faces health risk and sometimes death. Children, because of
their small stature and still developing brains and vital organs, are
especially vulnerable to the health problems caused by homes filled with
toxic chemicals.'
'A
child that has been exposed to meth lab chemicals may exhibit signs
that you might not associate with chemical exposure. But, knowing the
signs of meth lab exposure in children can help you to protect their
health and safety. Whether you’re a parent, a grandparent, a teacher, a
day care provider, a child protection service worker, a neighbor, or
anyone else who cares about children, you should know some of the health
symptoms that can indicate exposure to meth lab chemicals in children.
According
to the Arizona Attorney General’s office, children exposed to the
chemicals used to make meth may exhibit the following signs:
- Watery eyes
- Discharge from the eyes
- Blurred vision
- Eye pain, including burning
- Skin irritation and redness
- Mild to severe burns on the skin
- Sneezing and coughing
- Difficult and labored breathing, shortness of breath

If
you believe a child is being exposed to meth lab chemicals, or if a
child tells you that drug-making is occurring in their home, please call
911 immediately and tell law enforcement personnel what you know.'
