Cincinnati, Ohio, 9/4/07: Schuerman Inspections, LLC, a local firm based in Cincinnati, Ohio, which conducts inspections of new and existing homes, has made efforts to help protect the local real estate community and their clients against the hazards of clandestine methamphetamine labs found in real estate properties within the state.
“The possibility of agents unknowingly entering or even selling a home that has been designated as a current or previous site of methamphetamine production is unfortunately becoming a reality within the state” stated Dan Schuerman, President of Schuerman Inspections, and ASHI certified home inspector who has conducted thousands of tri-state home inspections since 1996.
Schuerman Inspections has created a short presentation reveling how to recognize clandestine labs in real estate property and will be presenting this information to real estate companies in the Cincinnati area who are interested in protecting their agents and clients from this potential hazard.
Furthermore, the company’s website, SchuermanInspections.com includes a registry of all known clandestine methamphetamine lab homes in the state of Ohio. The list was compiled from information received from the federal DEA office and will be updated as additional listings are made available.
Mr. Schuerman stated “As inspectors and agents, we take risks every day entering properties that hold potential hazards to our health, well being and careers. Many of the labs, if active, are booby-trapped and the dismantled labs typically leave behind toxic wastes that can be life threatening with only brief exposures. Knowing these risks, I felt compelled to create awareness to the potential hazards among my colleges.”
Schuerman Inspections conducts pre-purchase home and commercial inspections in the greater Cincinnati area including additional services such as radon testing and wood destroying organism (termite) inspections.
