Default Meth Lab Cleanup

than just removing visible chemical containers. Expensive too!


There are many homes in rural Oregon that have been torn down ...
it's expensive and there are plenty of problems with reusing a
former meth lab property.


Not just meth labs.

Homes use for marijuana grow-ops usually have substantial internal
dammage and problems.

And I'm sure that most buyers have access to police reports (because
police departments are monetizing their crime and incident data) and
buyers will check to see if the property has a history with the police.

Real estate disclosure laws in your area might compel you to make the
buyer aware of the home's history. Disclosure laws such as urea
formaldehyde insulation, asbestos (etc) are being updated to include
meth labs and marijana grow ops.
