Typical cleanout crew
Standard Cleaning
Standard cleaning only treats visible surfaces, leaving hidden pathogens and odors trapped deep within.
Remnant
Drug Decontamination
We eliminate biohazards at the molecular level, using advanced ATP testing to guarantee 100% decontamination.
From Flagstaff to Doney Park, Kachina Village, Mountainaire, Bellemont, and Williams, a technician is never far from the call.
Where a Drug Incident Leaves a Property Owner in Flagstaff
A drug incident inside a property creates two problems at once. There is whatever happened to the person involved, which is its own difficult situation, and there is the property itself, which has now been contaminated in ways that are not visible and do not go away on their own.
The contamination side is worth understanding clearly. Residue from fentanyl absorbs into drywall and carpet padding. Methamphetamine settles into HVAC systems and the wood interiors common in Flagstaff cabin construction. Neither shows up to the eye, and neither resolves without proper testing and chemistry. If the property has been identified as a former drug lab, Arizona law sets a stricter path back to legal occupancy under A.R.S. §12-1000. That path requires a contractor certified through the Arizona Board of Technical Registration and clearance signed by a certified industrial hygienist confirming methamphetamine levels at or below 0.1 µg/100cm². Returning the property to use without that documentation creates direct legal exposure for whoever owns it. The cleanup, the testing, the documentation, and the filing with the county are all things we handle if they apply.
Our Step-by-Step Drug Cleanup Process
Site Assessment
A technician evaluates the property, reviews any law enforcement documentation, and identifies the type and scope of contamination.
Containment Setup
Sheeting and air filtration close off the affected space so airborne particles and residues stay contained during the work.
Soft Good Removal
Mattresses, upholstery, carpet, padding, and porous items that have absorbed residue are extracted and bagged for disposal.
Surface Decontamination
Walls, ceilings, hard flooring, and fixtures are washed with chemistry suited to the specific drug residue present.
HVAC and Air Treatment
Ductwork is cleaned or replaced where needed, and HEPA scrubbers run until airborne contamination is cleared.
Clearance Testing
Surface samples are pulled and analyzed to confirm levels meet Arizona decontamination standards.
How a Drug-Affected Flagstaff Property Gets Tested, Cleaned, and Cleared
The first thing that happens at a drug residue job is sampling. Before any cleaning begins, the crew identifies what substance is actually present and where it has spread through the property. This is not a formality. Fentanyl and methamphetamine behave differently and respond to different chemistry, and using the wrong product on either one produces results that fail at retest. Sampling first means the work that follows actually clears.
The cleaning itself happens with the affected area sealed off from the rest of the building and the crew working in gear rated for chemical vapor exposure. After treatment, samples are taken again. For methamphetamine, the numbers have to come back at or below Arizona's threshold of 0.1 µg/100cm² for the property to clear. If the situation involves a former drug lab, a certified industrial hygienist signs off on the final results, and we file the report with Coconino County Health and Human Services on the owner's behalf. A full copy comes back to the property owner for their records.

Cleanup Success Rate
"Found out one of our rentals had been used as a meth lab. Remnant was certified for the work and got us through clearance testing. They knew exactly what the state required."
Still Have Questions?
Are you qualified to handle drug cleanup in Arizona?
Our crews are trained in OSHA bloodborne pathogen and hazardous materials protocols, follow EPA and Arizona DOH guidance, and work to the same 1.5 µg/100 cm² standard the state uses.
How much does drug cleanup cost?
It varies with the size of the property and how far the residue spread, but most jobs run from a few thousand to the low five figures. We provide a written estimate after testing.
How long does the cleanup take?
A smoking-only apartment usually clears in two to three days including lab turnaround. A full lab cleanup on a house generally runs one to two weeks.
Will my insurance cover it?
Often, especially when the contamination came from a tenant, a crime, or vandalism rather than the policyholder's own use. We document everything and work directly with your adjuster.
