Cleaning up after the presence or use of dangerous narcotics—especially Schedule I substances like fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine—is a task that requires professional expertise, not just basic cleaning supplies. These substances are not only illegal, but many are also extremely toxic and can be deadly even in minuscule amounts. For example, fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to 50 times stronger than heroin, can be fatal in quantities as small as a few grains of salt. Simply touching or inhaling trace residue left behind in a home or vehicle can lead to overdose or death, especially in children or pets.

When a home has been used to store, use, or manufacture these drugs—whether as a user’s crash pad, a stash house, or a meth lab—thorough, professional cleaning is critical for safety and legal compliance. Methamphetamine production, in particular, leaves behind toxic chemical residues that seep into walls, floors, ventilation systems, and even subflooring. There have been documented cases where tenants became seriously ill years after moving into homes or apartments that were previously used as drug labs—homes that landlords claimed were “cleaned.” Without the proper protocols, containment methods, and documentation, the risks remain, and property owners could be held liable for endangering future occupants.

In overdose scenarios, the danger isn’t always obvious. Narcotics can be scattered around the scene—on furniture, embedded in carpet fibers, inside vents, or hidden in drawers. Fentanyl or powdered heroin, when airborne or unknowingly touched, can pose serious threats to first responders, family members, and cleaning staff. That’s why this isn’t a job for general janitorial services or DIY cleanup—it’s a job for trained professionals equipped with the proper protective gear, cleaning agents, and hazardous waste disposal protocols.

Code Three Trauma Clean was founded specifically to address these dangers with professionalism, integrity, and a focus on safety. As a current police officer, I’ve responded to countless overdose scenes and meth labs, and I know what’s at stake. I’ve witnessed firsthand the tragedies these substances cause—and I understand how critical it is to leave a space truly safe and clean. Unlike large franchises that may prioritize speed and cost-cutting over thoroughness, I follow strict decontamination standards and provide full documentation of services performed, so property owners can prove compliance and reduce liability.

This work isn’t just technical—it’s personal. I’ve seen the devastating impact of these substances on families and communities. That’s why I stay in close contact with my clients throughout the entire process, whether it’s through calls, texts, or email, to make sure you feel informed and supported every step of the way.

If you’re a homeowner, landlord, property manager, or business owner facing a possible drug contamination situation, hiring me is not just the safest choice—it’s the smartest. I provide the most thorough and affordable service available, and I guarantee to beat any written competitor’s estimate by at least 10%.
