Signs that the house you live in use to be a meth lab

Residues left behind are hazardous to your health. As a buyers agent here in Austin Texas, I get asked all kinds of questions from prospective foreclosure buyers. How good is the foundation? Has there ever been mold in the home? Nationwide, the DEA says that methamphetamine labs have been discovered in over 46 U.S. states. And so now the question has come up, how can you tell if this foreclosed home has ever been used as a meth lab?

Here are a few items to look for:

• The pungent smell of cat pee.
• Yellow walls and counter tops, like a chain smoker has lived in the home.
• Disabled, removed or taped up smoke/fire detectors.
• Your eyes suddenly tear or burn or throat gets irritated or copper taste in mouth when you enter the home.

Don't let this deter you from looking at foreclosures as an option. A good home inspector and a competent realtor will help guide the way during the process.
