Most homes in Lee County are owner occupied, with renters at about 22% of households, so many calls come from buyers and heirs with questions about a home's history. About 57% of homes in Lexington were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove.
A typical drug lab & meth lab cleanup job includes:
- Sealed handling of contaminated materials as hazardous waste where required
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
- Sampling of walls, floors, ceilings, vents and surfaces for meth residue
- Follow-up testing after cleaning to check the work and guide any extra steps
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved

Meth House and Residue Testing Questions Answered for Lexington, TX
Can furniture and belongings be saved?
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
Can a meth house be cleaned up?
In many cases, yes. The usual path is testing, removal of contaminated porous materials, thorough cleaning of surfaces and air systems, and retesting. How much work is needed depends on the extent of the contamination, and testing is what shows that.
Can residue come from smoking and not only from making?
Yes. Heavy indoor use can leave residue on walls, floors and furniture. The amount is usually different from a former lab, so testing guides the plan. A team can explain what the results mean for your property.
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.
How long does meth lab cleanup take?
It often takes several days to more than a week, plus time for lab results. Testing happens before and after the work. If an area does not pass, it is cleaned and tested again. A local team can give a realistic schedule once it has seen the property.
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.
