Contamination doesn't have to kill your deal — but silence and delay will. Fast testing, disclosure-ready reports, and remediation priced low enough that the seller can actually agree to pay for it.
A meth issue surfaces during inspection. Now you have a buyer who is spooked, a seller who is offended, an inspection deadline in four days, and a lender who will not fund an unresolved contamination file. The transaction does not die because of the contamination — it dies because nobody can produce a number and a timeline fast enough.
That is the entire service we provide to agents: a number and a timeline, fast.
We work with agents across Colorado on repeat referral. Priority scheduling on transaction work, direct line to a coordinator instead of a call center, and reports delivered to you and your client simultaneously. No fee to participate. Call us and we'll set it up.
If your seller knows the property was contaminated, remediating and certifying before listing is almost always the better financial outcome. You disclose contamination and certification together, which is a fundamentally different conversation than disclosing an open problem and inviting every buyer to price in worst-case risk.
Buyers discount unknown contamination far more aggressively than the remediation actually costs. Closing that gap is usually worth several times the cleanup price.
Usually not. Most Colorado homeowners policies exclude contamination from illegal drug activity, and many specifically name methamphetamine. Landlord and dwelling-fire policies sometimes include limited vandalism or malicious-mischief coverage that can apply to tenant-caused damage — it is worth filing and finding out.
We provide itemized, insurer-formatted documentation with every job at no extra charge, so if there is a claim to be made you have what you need to make it.
Most residential meth decontamination we take runs $2,450 to $16,200 depending on square footage, contamination level and how much porous material has to come out. A typical 1,500 sq ft home with moderate use contamination lands around $8,550 for base decon; the same house as a former manufacturing site is closer to $16,200, and a large heavy property runs to roughly $28,800.
The Colorado market average for the same work is roughly $15,000–$20,000, and severe cases elsewhere have been quoted past $100,000. We are meaningfully under that — but we are not going to pretend a former lab cleans up for pocket change.
We publish real numbers on our pricing page and run an instant estimator, because the single most common complaint we hear about this industry is that nobody will tell you a price until they are standing in your living room.
You often cannot tell by looking. Strong chemical or ammonia odors, yellow-brown staining on walls and ceilings, stained or discolored fixtures, blacked-out windows, unusual venting, and burn marks are all indicators — but plenty of contaminated properties show none of them.
The only reliable answer is a surface wipe sample analyzed by an accredited lab. Our pre-purchase composite screen starts at $225 — priced on how many samples your property needs — and turns around in a few business days.
A typical single-family decontamination takes 2 to 5 working days on site, plus 2–4 business days for clearance lab results. Light contamination in a small apartment can be done in a single day. Full former-lab remediation with structural removal can run 1–3 weeks.
If you have a closing date, tell us the date. Our 48-hour rush scheduling exists specifically to save transactions.
