What Houma Property Owners Ask About Hazardous Cleanup

How much does hazmat cleanup cost?

Can a landlord order hazmat cleanup after a move-out?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who find chemicals or leaking containers in a vacated unit. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records.
What is hazmat cleanup?
