What Center City East Property Owners Ask About Fentanyl Cleanup

Is it safe to reenter after cleanup?

A careful cleanup removes the residue it covers, and a final inspection checks the work. Rules for testing vary by place. Ask the team what was done and what was not checked, and ask the local health department what applies.

Does a cleanup team test for fentanyl?

Some teams offer sampling and some do not. Rules for testing and clearance vary by place. Ask the team what it checks, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.

What about vehicles?

Vehicles are small, closed spaces, so residue can build up on seats, carpets and vents. Crews use the same careful methods as in a building, and soft materials may need to be removed. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated.

How much does fentanyl decontamination cost?

It depends on the size of the space, how far residue has spread, the materials involved and the gear needed. A cleanup team can give a real price after seeing or hearing about the site, and it should explain what is included before work starts.

Do I need 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 space is vacant.

Can I clean fentanyl residue myself?

It is not recommended. Sweeping, wiping and vacuuming can lift fine powder into the air. Leave the area, keep people and pets out, and call 911 in an emergency or Poison Control with questions. Then ask a cleanup team about decontamination.
