Professional Drug Residue
Testing Services

Drug Residue Testing is a service that detects and identifies illicit drug residues in properties. It involves inspecting various surfaces, including walls and floors, to identify traces of drugs like methamphetamine, ensuring a thorough assessment of potential contamination.

This testing is critical for health and safety, as exposure to drug residues can cause health issues such as respiratory problems. In Australia, a significant number of properties have been found contaminated, especially with methamphetamine residue, making this testing essential for property owners and occupants.

Homeowners, landlords, real estate agents, and potential buyers should consider this testing, especially if there's suspicion of past drug activity or to ensure a property's safety before occupancy.

The Australian guideline value for methamphetamine contamination is 0.5 micrograms per 100 square centimetres for residential properties. Properties exceeding this threshold require professional remediation before they are considered safe for habitation.

Yes, drug contamination can significantly reduce property value. In some Australian states, sellers are required to disclose known contamination. A clean test result protects your investment, while contamination may require costly remediation before the property can be sold or rented.

While not universally required by law across all states, vendors have a duty of disclosure regarding known contamination. Some states have specific guidelines, and real estate agents increasingly recommend testing as part of due diligence to avoid legal liability.

A screening test provides an immediate on-site indication of contamination using swab kits. A laboratory test involves sending samples to an accredited lab for detailed analysis that identifies the specific type and concentration of drug residue. We offer both options depending on your needs.

Yes, our testing can detect residue from both drug manufacturing (clandestine labs) and heavy drug use such as smoking methamphetamine. Properties where drugs were regularly used can have significant contamination on walls, ceilings, carpets, and ventilation systems.

Remediation involves professional cleaning of contaminated surfaces, removal and replacement of heavily affected materials such as carpet and plaster, cleaning of ventilation systems, and post-remediation testing to confirm contamination levels are below the safe threshold.

Yes, rental properties are at higher risk of drug contamination due to multiple tenancies over time. Testing before purchase protects you from inheriting contamination and the associated health risks and remediation costs. It is a smart investment for any rental property buyer.

Yes, many landlords include drug residue testing as part of their property management routine between tenancies. This helps identify contamination early, protect future tenants, and hold previous tenants accountable for any damage caused by drug activity.
