The Devastating Effects of In-House Marijuana Growth

Illegal marijuana grow-houses in San Diego may cause as much financial damage as a fire, water damage or earthquake. The cost of illegal marijuana grow houses can be equal to or greater than a whole house asbestos abatement remediation project.

The inherent abundance of chemicals used, whether it be Round Up, toxic pesticides, weed-killer, fertilizers alone and their off-gassing are human carcinogens which may cause cancer.

Proper remediation must be done using extensive “PPE” (personal protection equipment). It is advised not to be in an illegal grow-house without the use of personal protection equipment – this includes law enforcement, realtors, landlords, home inspectors, and insurance adjusters.

When it comes to proper remediation, Abbotts Fire & Flood has the PPE, experience, and know-how to do the job right.

Common Marijuana Growth House Issues

While moisture is necessary for marijuana to thrive, it serves as the perfect facilitator for toxic mold and spores growth within any home. You may find toxic mold growing on the ceilings, walls, floors, as well as your ventilation systems.

Consequently, the air will be contaminated and become harmful to the wellbeing of the residents. For such homes, adequate cleaning and remediation will be necessary to restore and decontaminate the house into a habitable space.

Incomplete and illegal electrical manipulation is another issue usually found in marijuana grow houses. Most people in the marijuana business tend to rewire the grow houses severally to bypass expensive electrical bills. Such a frequent rewiring process increases the possibility of a house fire by 40%.

Marijuana grow houses can also lead to ruptured foundations, brown stains on the floors, warped structures, broken concrete walls, modified ductwork, among others.

Abbotts will work closely with your insurance company to make sure that we have a covered loss and help protect you by advising you on your right to “ALE” (additional living expenses) which would cover your mortgage payment and other expenses.
