The first response to a clan lab clean-up is the removal of chemicals/drugs/laboratory apparatus utilised in the drug manufacturing process by the local authorities.
Once illegal drug paraphernalia have been removed, all damage and threat instigated by the Clandestine operations will be assessed thoroughly. Structural contamination, mould presence and sub-floors damage are all covered in the assessment stage.
After the assessment stage we proceed to identify structures, surfaces and contents that are salvageable and those beyond repair and providing evidence to justify replacement. We then draft the most efficient and practical method and technical ways to guarantee you a safer and liveable property. We carry out any required demolition work and the removal of damaged/unsalvageable content for cleaning or disposal. Mould and structural remediation and the removal of overlaying odours across different surfaces and materials are meticulously planned out. We can provide detailed assessments and a restoration outline to your insurance company to support any claims. As we wrap up this stage, we are confident to provide approximate outlines of estimated costs and the time required for the different phases in any clandestine remediation and restoration program.
All items that can be safely restored within IICRC guidelines shall be done in conjunction with current health standards and practice. Items that cannot be salvaged shall be effectively disposed in a safe and proper manner.
Normally for all clandestine operations, flooring will be severely damaged due to water and ventilation requirements of drug processing. The sub-floor and adjoining structures shall be remediated in accordance to the degree of damage done.
Samples of affected areas are tested to determine successful decontamination clean.
If required, we are content to provide you with final reports of work undertaken and the justification behind our every activity. This reporting assists with insurance claims and lends itself to a quicker and smoother settlement process. We are happy to work with assessors and loss adjusters and have a full understanding of their requirements and demands.
