Methamphetamine Testing and Reporting

Protect Your Family with Reliable Meth Testing and Reporting

Methamphetamine contamination is a growing concern for homeowners and renters in Australia. The production and use of meth leave behind harmful residues that are invisible and odorless, making it difficult to detect without proper testing. This residue can pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues, skin irritation, and headaches. Regular meth testing is crucial, especially if you’re purchasing a property or moving into a rental.

Why Regular Meth Testing is Essential

Meth contamination can remain long after the drug has been used or produced, and the only way to ensure a property is safe is through professional testing. This testing involves collecting surface samples from various areas of the home, which are then analysed in a lab to detect any meth residues. Given the potential health risks—especially for children—it’s vital to have this testing done before moving into a new home or signing a lease. For more information, please refer to Australian Government Clandestine Drug Remediation Guidelines published in 2011.

Methamphetamine Exposure

It’s important to have your property tested for methamphetamine contamination in the following situations:

To ensure the property is safe and free from meth contamination.

Protect yourself from potential health risks in rental properties.

If you notice unusual stains, discolouration, or strange smells, testing is essential.

Landlords should test between tenants to ensure the property is safe for new occupants.

Regular testing is crucial, especially in areas known for higher meth use or production.

What’s Involved in a Methamphetamine Inspection?

If a property has been contaminated with meth, it will deliver a positive result on proper rapid methamphetamine testing conducted by our licensed building inspectors, if the levels are higher than 0.5μg/100cm². This level is considered high risk and can be harmful to people, and the environment.

Side effects can include, but may not be limited to

  • Respiratory Problems: Difficulty breathing and chronic cough.
  • Skin and Eye Irritation: Contact with contaminated surfaces can cause irritation.
  • Neurological Symptoms: Including headaches, dizziness, and lethargy.
  • Digestive Issues: Nausea and vomiting may occur due to prolonged exposure.

Children are particularly vulnerable to these risks because of their frequent contact with surfaces like floors and walls, where meth residues are likely to be present.
