It is the testing, removal and cleaning of a property where methamphetamine was made or heavily used. A professional team samples surfaces, removes materials that cannot be cleaned, cleans the rest and tests again. The goal is to show that the property is fit for use. It is not a job for household cleaners.
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.
