Methamphetamine Contamination Cleanup for Kakaako Owners and Landlords
Methamphetamine residue can come from making the drug or from smoking it indoors over time. The two situations differ in scale, and testing helps show what a property needs.

Meth Lab Cleanup Questions From Kakaako and Honolulu County
Is meth lab cleanup covered by insurance?
It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
Do I have to be at the property?
Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the property is vacant.
Is it safe to buy a house that was a meth lab?
That depends on testing and cleanup. A buyer or lender can ask for test reports and cleanup records. A cleanup team can explain what the reports show. A real estate attorney can advise on disclosure and sale terms.
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.
Who pays for meth lab cleanup at a rental?
Owners usually carry the cost of cleaning their own property. For rentals, the lease and local law decide who is responsible, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Renters policies often cover a tenant's belongings rather than the building.
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.
