Risks Associated with Former Marijuana Grow Houses
In the interest of public safety, the Ottawa Police Service would like to advise the public of potential dangers associated with marijuana grow operations.
Some smaller home operations uncovered by police may not have incurred extensive damage, and may not have used an electrical bypass, but most do.
Large indoor marijuana grow houses require large amounts 
of water, chemicals, light and heat. An unsuspecting purchaser of a former grow house can face problems if not informed on the history and current condition of the house.
Sometimes damage is not visible and the owner or real estate agent may not be fully aware of the problems.
