Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the property is vacant.
Possible signs include strong chemical or ammonia-like smells, stained or discolored walls, burn marks, unusual equipment and unexplained headaches or irritation. These are not proof on their own. Testing is the only way to confirm residue.
Specialized cleaning methods, not everyday sprays. Crews remove porous materials that hold residue, then clean hard surfaces and air systems in a set order. Household cleaners can spread residue, so a cleanup team and its testing plan are the safer route.
Often, yes. Air systems can carry residue to every room. A team usually samples vents and ducts and cleans or replaces parts as needed. Ask whether the system is part of the testing plan, and whether filters and liners will be removed.

Signs can include chemical odors, stained walls or counters, burn marks, odd equipment and a history shared by police, neighbors or a prior owner. None of these is proof. Only testing can show whether residue is present. The local health department can point to next steps.
