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.
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.
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.
Because residue is usually invisible. Testing shows which rooms and materials are affected, guides the cleanup plan and later shows whether the work succeeded. Reports from before and after the job are what buyers, lenders, insurers and local officials often ask to see.
Only after law enforcement releases the property. Investigators handle evidence and any dangerous chemicals first. Once the site is released, you can book testing and cleanup as the owner. Ask the agency when the release happens.
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.
Ask about discreet arrival in an unmarked vehicle if privacy matters.
