Testing, Removal and Cleaning After a Meth Lab in Centennial, Portland, OR
A meth house cleanup combines sampling, controlled removal of materials that cannot be cleaned, cleaning of surfaces and air systems, and follow-up testing. The goal is a property that is fit for use.
If you are a landlord, buyer or family member in Centennial who learned a property in Multnomah County was used to make or heavily use meth, call Centennial Biohazard Cleanup Help. The team explains each step and does not start until law enforcement releases the site.
About 63% of homes in Portland were built before 1980, and older drywall, carpet and trim can soak up residue that is hard to remove. With roughly 48% of Portland households renting, many cleanup calls come from property managers who found signs of drug activity at move-out.

What Centennial Owners Ask About Drug Lab Cleanup
What happens to the waste?
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
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 do I know if a house was a meth lab?
Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.
Who should I contact first?
If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.
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.
Does meth contamination go away on its own?
Not reliably. Residue can stay on surfaces and in materials for a long time. Airing out a home may reduce odor but does not remove residue. Testing and professional cleaning are how owners learn whether a property is safe.
