Most homes in Blount County are owner occupied, with renters at about 23% of households, so many calls come from buyers and heirs with questions about a home's history. Homes in Louisville were built in different eras, and about 38% date from before 1980. Testing, not the age of the house, shows what needs to be done.
The work often covers:
- Test reports and records for buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials who ask
- Cleanup of garages, sheds, outbuildings and vehicles used for drug production
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Cleaning and decontamination of hard surfaces, cabinets, fixtures and furniture that can be saved

Meth Lab Cleanup Questions From Louisville and Blount County
What are the health effects of living in a contaminated home?
Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
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.
Can furniture and belongings be saved?
Some hard items can be cleaned. Porous items such as upholstery, mattresses, curtains and carpets often cannot, because residue soaks into them. The team can advise on what is likely to be removed and what can be tested.
What is the law for meth cleanup in Tennessee?
Rules for drug lab cleanup vary by state, county and city. The local health department or the property owner's attorney can confirm what testing and clearance apply where you live. A cleanup team can explain its own process and what records you get.
Who should I contact first?
If anyone is in danger or ill, call 911 or Poison Control. For the property, contact the local health department and ask what rules apply. Then talk with a cleanup team about testing and a plan. A property owner may also want advice from an attorney.
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.
