You should be very concerned if the home you buy or rent was previously used as a meth lab. I hear from people all over the U.S., who have gotten sick from living in a meth lab home. Some have rented the homes without being told by the landlord. Others have bought homes at a "good price". You should be especially careful if the home was sold as a foreclosure.

Homes that have been used to manufacture meth are considered to be hazardous waste sites by the EPA and health departments. No one should live in them until they have been properly decontaminated. If you buy a home and later find out it was used to make meth by the previous occupants, you will get stuck with the bill for decontaminating the house. The cost of testing and decontaminating the house can run as high as $150,000. Some homes can't be cleaned and have to be demolished.

Before you rent or buy learn what the signs of a former meth lab are and learn how to protect yourself BEFORE you suffer from the health and financial consequences that come hand-in-hand with a contaminated meth lab home. Many people have told me that they have had no choice but to let their home fall back in to foreclosure and claim bankruptcy, because they couldn't afford the decontamination cost. Be especially careful before buying or renting a home if you have children or if you plan to have children. The health problems can be devastating.

If you would like to learn more about meth lab homes, please visit methlabhomes.com to read what's happened to others who didn't know about them before they rented or bought their home. Clean up contractors estimate that there are somewhere between 1 million and 1.5 million homes in the U.S. right now that have been used as meth labs. Buyer beware.
