Meth remeditation
Hi, I am looking at a house that had meth smoked in it. It was not a lab and the results came back at under 5% or .05 in each room. The problem is the furnace tested the highest which means it was sent throughout the home. It is a ranch with a finished basement. 2800 total sqft. Anyone have an idea of what would need to be done? The agent said a remediation company could do a chemical wash on the walls, and repaint because the results were not too high. Obviously floor coverings and probably a new furnace. What about the ducting?
I have sold REOs that were meth houses, but they were meth labs and they needed a total gut job. I have never dealt with a smaller issue, or maybe it is not a smaller issue.
