Donetta Held is someone many would consider a pioneer in proper meth remediation techniques. Meth decontamination carries a unique set of challenges restoration companies would not likely face on a traditional fire, flood, mold, or other job.
Held grew up in the construction and restoration industry. Her grandfather started English Construction in 1955, today it is owned by her father. The company does both catastrophe cleanup and construction, and it was while working for her father that she was trained in crime scene cleanup, and her interest grew from there. In 2001, Held started Crisis Cleaning as a sister company to English Construction.
