There is little to no chance to have coverage for it.I have never had a meth lab claim, but have seen many insurance carrier change their policies over the last 10 years to react to the epidemic. 99.9% of the time the damage caused by meth production is a "pollutant" and Property policies will have a Total Pollution Exclusion.

@Matt Tallent Some of the the best ways to find off market commercial and multifamily properties is to compile lists from city and county websites if available or through a paid service like List source, Reonomy and CoStar or you can use free resources like Loopnet, CREXI, Craigslist, tax database, general networking, brokers, property managers, title companies, environmental consultants, building inspection companies, appraisers, landscapers and other companies that service commercial and multifamily properties and driving for dollars.The real key is in how you approach the owners and then the follow up.

Negotiated the purchase with the City of Trenton about 10 years ago and just closed on it because the City completed environmental remediation in the mean time.

The environmental guy said due to its proximity to a large oak tree and the sandy soil he would advise leaving it only doing a clean out and seal so the tree wouldn’t have a chance to fall on the house.

Newer gas stations have double insulated tanks and other safeguards against environmental leaks.
