Pre-Purchase and Tenancy Testing

Drug Residue Testing
Drug residue, especially from methamphetamine, is a growing issue for Australian homeowners, landlords, renters, and real estate agents. Residues from illegal drug production or use can linger on surfaces long after the activity has stopped, posing health and safety risks for future occupants.
The Impact on Health and Safety
Exposure to methamphetamine residue can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory problems, headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Young children and those with pre-existing conditions are particularly vulnerable. The contamination also increases the risk of structural damage as toxic chemicals seep into walls, carpets, and other surfaces.
The Scale of the Problem
According to the Australian Institute of Criminology, up to 1 in 10 homes in Australia may be contaminated with drug residue, particularly methamphetamine. Over recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in reported cases of contamination in residential properties. This trend underscores the importance of testing and remediation to protect tenants and property values.
