Ask these seven questions before you hire a meth remediation company.

Meth Testing and Cleanup Done Right?

Meth testing, remediation, and cleanup are serious business. Contaminated homes and buildings pose a dangerous health hazard for anyone entering, even years after the incident.

You can’t afford to trust meth testing and cleanup to just anyone. If done improperly, the effects of meth contamination will continue to threaten the health of people who are innocently exposed to a problem that wasn’t properly mitigated up front.

Who Do You Trust?

So, how do you know if you are dealing with a reputable meth remediation company? By all means, check references and reviews. But more importantly, before you make a final decision, ask these seven key questions. A solid ‘yes’ answer to each question will help identify a company with the credentials, knowledge, and experience to make sure your cleanup is done right.

The 7 Key Questions

1. Do you perform multiple initial assessment tests to pinpoint areas of greatest exposure?

RainFire’s answer: Yes! The first step of decontamination is to determine the levels of contamination and the areas of the home that are affected by contamination. Our state-certified decontamination specialist will take an initial single sample or multiple composite samples, which will be analyzed in a lab for contamination levels.

2. Do you both remove and clean meth from the site as needed?

RainFire’s Answer: Yes. We use several different steps to remediate meth. The first is gross removal, meaning that items may be properly removed and discarded. The second step is to preclean/ deep clean the property with a combined surfactant and peroxides. This process helps to actually bubble out contaminants from some of the contaminated sources. The process continues with other cleaning techniques until we obtain a clearance test result.

3. Do you perform a certified test after completion to ensure remediation was effectively accomplished?

Rainfire’s Answer: Yes! Following remediation treatments, we perform certified testing to ensure your home is within the state decontamination standards. A full report is provided, showing testing results.

4. Do you guarantee your work?

Rainfire’s Answer: Yes! We will stay on the job and continue remediation until the follow-up certified tests are clear, at no additional cost.*

5. Is your company licensed, bonded, and insured?

a) Yes! Must be yes to all three.
RainFire’s answer: RainFire is a licensed restoration company. We are also bonded and insured to ensure your peace of mind for any work we do on your properties.

6. Is your company approved and included on the State of Utah certified meth remediation contractor list?

RainFire’s answer: Yes! RainFire is registered with the state of Utah as a certified meth remediation provider. Only companies registered and certified with the State of Utah are approved to provide meth remediation services.

7. Do you provide a report that details what has been cleaned and decontaminated, including items that have been replaced?

Yes! RainFire Restoration delivers a report in writing following the decontamination process. It includes descriptions of:

The property: address, owner, and buildings present.
Manufacturing method and any chemicals present.
Contamination, including photo documentation.
Sampling methods and results (before and after).
Decontamination process.
Safety procedures implemented.
Where and how contaminated objects were disposed of.
Where and how wastewater was disposed of.
Certifications/qualifications of involved persons.
Signature of supervisor.

If the company you are interviewing answers ‘no’ to any of these questions, or is vague in their responses, you would be well advised to keep looking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before hiring any meth cleanup company, ask about:

  • How they assess contamination (multiple tests, detailed sampling).

  • Whether they both remove and clean contamination or just one.

  • If they perform post-cleanup certified testing to confirm safety.

  • Whether they guarantee results (i.e., continue until cleared at no extra charge).

  • Licensing, insurance, and state certification status.

Certified post-cleanup testing ensures that the property actually meets the state or local safety standards after remediation — not just that it “looks clean” or smells better. Without proper testing, contamination could remain undetected.

A reputable company should be:

  • Licensed, bonded, and insured.

  • Listed on your state’s certified meth remediation contractor list (if required).

  • Experienced with proper sampling, cleanup, and documentation procedures.

These credentials help ensure they follow health and environmental safety standards.

A thorough cleanup report should cover:

  • Pre- and post-remediation test results and sampling methods.

  • Areas cleaned and methods used.

  • Disposal procedures for contaminated materials.

  • Certifications of persons involved.

  • Documentation of safety procedures.

A property is generally considered safe only after certified clearance testing confirms residue levels are below the established standard. This is more reliable than visual inspection or odor checks.
