Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.
Contaminated materials are sealed, labeled and hauled away. Some may need to be handled as regulated waste, and rules vary by location. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records of it at the end of the job.
