Clandestine Meth Lab Testing and Property Assessment
Worried a property may be contaminated by methamphetamine use or production?
We provide independent assessment and meth contamination testing to help you make safe, informed decisions before you buy, rent, remediate or re-occupy.
Service Areas
Melbourne and wider Victoria, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Murwillumbah, Tweed Valley, Byron Bay and surrounds, .
Why this matters
Drug contamination is not limited to active laboratories. Residues from drugs such as methamphetamine and other substances can remain in properties where they were used or produced.
​
These residues can persist on surfaces and in building materials, potentially creating health concerns for occupants and serious re-occupancy and liability risks for:
-
Buyers and sellers in real estate transactions
-
Landlords and property managers
-
Hotels and short-stay accommodation operators
-
Employers managing worker health and safety
Our Services
Preliminary assessment
A structured investigation to determine whether contamination is likely and what testing is appropriate.
Meth analysis testing
Swab sampling sent to a third-party NATA accredited laboratory for analysis.
Detailed site investigation
Determines the extent of contamination and informs a remediation scope suitable for safe re-occupancy.
Remediation guidance and validation pathway
We provide independent advice to ensure remediation is right-sized and evidence-based, including a pathway for post-remediation verification.
When you should book drug residue testing
-
You are buying a property with suspicious history or unexplained odours and staining
-
Council or police have issued notices or raised concerns
-
A rental property has suspected drug activity
-
You need evidence for property management decisions or legal matters
-
You need to confirm whether remediation has achieved safe re-occupation
