They'll actually sit there

This is my home

A couple with a small child
stay here.
33
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:34,469
While they were here,
I came in
34
00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:37,097
and about got knocked over
from the smell.
35
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:40,475
I'm like,
"Okay, this is a meth lab."
36
00:01:40,475 --> 00:01:41,935
Had to call the police.
37
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:44,646
When there's a meth lab
with somebody's either cooking
38
00:01:44,646 --> 00:01:47,941
or smoking in a property,
police bust the property,
39
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:49,234
and then the Health Department
40
00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:51,694
sends a notification
to the property owner.
41

And until it's tested to prove
that it's safe to inhabit,

When they cook

they're leaving a residue,
just like cigarette smoke.
46
00:02:03,706 --> 00:02:08,128
And that's what we're having
to go in and clean up.
47
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:13,341
Is this a dangerous job?
Yeah, it is.
48
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:16,469
Donetta: The contamination can
be really extreme on properties.
49
00:02:16,469 --> 00:02:18,096
Methamphetamine is very toxic,
50
00:02:18,096 --> 00:02:22,142

or older individuals.

We come and we test it,

and then we literally clean
this whole place inside out.
53
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:29,065
Donetta: Even though the police
have been there
54
00:02:29,065 --> 00:02:30,316
and taken all the chemicals out,
55
00:02:30,316 --> 00:02:32,777
there's still a lot
of precursors and stuff
56
00:02:32,777 --> 00:02:34,821

You'll see little baggies,
a lot of lighters.

But, yeah,
there are signs of it,
62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,292
just signs of anger.

Donetta: Holes punched in walls
and doors and stuff.
64
00:02:50,378 --> 00:02:52,964
When a real-life meth lab
gets busted,
65
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:57,260
the hazardous materials left
behind can endanger a community.
66
00:02:57,260 --> 00:03:00,096
Donetta: We had a family-owned
construction company.
67
00:03:00,096 --> 00:03:03,308
We started doing the death
and crime-scene cleaning first,
68
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:05,059
and we market to the sheriffs.
69
00:03:05,059 --> 00:03:07,187
They started coming up
to our trade-show booth,
70
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:10,815
asking if we did
meth-lab cleaning and testing.
71
00:03:10,815 --> 00:03:12,400
It wasn't just one.
It was several.
72
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,028
And so that's when I started
looking into it and realized
73
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:18,907
that our state, Indiana,
was having a meth epidemic.
74
00:03:18,907 --> 00:03:20,742
We have 92 counties in Indiana.
75
00:03:20,742 --> 00:03:23,369
Almost every county
had a documented case
76
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,914
all the way up to 2013,
our highest year,
77
00:03:25,914 --> 00:03:27,457
over 1,800 labs.
78
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:29,542
That averages out
to five labs per day.
79
00:03:29,542 --> 00:03:31,461
Donetta:
80% to 90% of meth labs
80
00:03:31,461 --> 00:03:34,255
are what they call
one-pot mobile meth labs.
81
00:03:34,255 --> 00:03:36,174
They're very volatile,
and they can explode
82
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:38,843
just from the residue
that's left in there.
83
00:03:38,843 --> 00:03:40,094
It's a poor man's drug.
84
00:03:40,094 --> 00:03:42,013
You might see somebody
walking down the road
85
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:45,642
with a backpack on,
and they have a mobile meth lab.
86
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:49,229
They're cooking it here.
There's a lot of waste involved.
87
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:53,775
So as a cook, it goes from here
to the sink, down the drain.
88
00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:58,112
And when it hits the HVAC,
it distributes everywhere,
89
00:03:58,112 --> 00:04:02,116
Meth leaves a residue,
so we throw everything away.
90
00:04:02,116 --> 00:04:05,328
We sweep all the walls,
all the ceiling, the floor,
91
00:04:05,328 --> 00:04:08,081
and we take the carpeting out.
92
00:04:09,832 --> 00:04:11,668
Donetta: My team on a lot
of these projects
93
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:12,919
have to really be careful
94
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,046
because we encounter
a lot of booby traps.
95
00:04:15,046 --> 00:04:16,756
I walked in this one house.
96
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:18,841
I remember opening the door,
97
00:04:18,841 --> 00:04:20,468
tried to turn the light on,
98
00:04:20,468 --> 00:04:22,637
and they had a light bulb
up there halfway,
99
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:25,723
and it water in it
so it'll blow up on you.
100
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:28,017
Sometimes have strings
around the door knobs,
101
00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:30,228
and they have to watch
when they open cabinets.
102
00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:33,439
As I opened up the door,
I saw needles --
103
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:34,899
needles literally coming down
104
00:04:34,899 --> 00:04:36,776
'cause they're wanting to hit
the police,
105
00:04:36,776 --> 00:04:38,069
you know, or whoever.
106
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:39,445
We actually went onto a property
107
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:42,240
where, when we rolled
into the driveway with our van,
108
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,075
they had a board with nails
109
00:04:44,075 --> 00:04:46,119
hidden underneath
the gravel driveway.
110
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:49,080
It destroyed the tire
on our van.
111
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,208
All across the country,
there are hidden labs
112
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:53,459
in every community.
113
00:04:53,459 --> 00:04:56,754
Donetta: It's more of the worry
of the people coming back
114
00:04:56,754 --> 00:04:58,423
while we're trying to
clean a job.
115
00:04:58,423 --> 00:05:01,634
So, they reenter
in the middle of the process
116
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:02,760
and screw it up.
117
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,471
We cleaned a property,
and when we post-tested it,
118
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:08,808
it flunked because somebody
came in while we were gone
119
00:05:08,808 --> 00:05:12,603
and cooked meth in there again.
120
00:05:12,603 --> 00:05:14,230
When we go to clean
a property,
121
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:15,565
there is an emotional component.

probably over 60 needles.
