The vacancy rate in Eau Claire County is only about 5%, so most meth cleanup calls come from occupied homes, rentals and recent move-outs. Homes in Fall Creek were built in different eras, and about 65% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.
The work often covers:
- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
- Removal of contaminated drywall, carpet, padding, ceiling tiles and insulation
- Cleaning or replacing parts of the heating and cooling system and its ducts
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved
- Removal of leftover equipment, containers and chemical residue after law enforcement releases the site
How Meth Contamination Is Tested, Removed and Cleaned in Fall Creek
2. Contain and protect
The work area is sealed, workers put on protective gear, and dust is controlled so residue does not spread.
3. Decontaminate in layers
Cleaning goes from ceilings to floors so residue falls onto surfaces that are cleaned last.
4. Test again and record
The team takes final samples and prepares records the owner can keep for insurers, lenders or future buyers.

What Fall Creek Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
What is meth lab cleanup?
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.
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.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No. This page explains how meth lab cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney or the local health department.
How do you test for meth residue?
A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.
What are the signs of meth contamination in a home?
Possible signs include strong chemical or ammonia-like smells, stained or discolored walls, burn marks, unusual equipment and unexplained headaches or irritation. These are not proof on their own. Testing is the only way to confirm residue.
What removes drug residue?
Specialized cleaning methods, not everyday sprays. Crews remove porous materials that hold residue, then clean hard surfaces and air systems in a set order. Household cleaners can spread residue, so a cleanup team and its testing plan are the safer route.
