PROFESSIONAL METH TESTING
Ensuring the health of our homes is vital in any rental agreement or house sale.
Living in a healthy and safe environment is vital for our well-being. Unfortunately, we live in a region where methamphetamine use is widespread. Exposure to certain levels of contamination due to either the smoking of or the production of meth can produce long-lasting effects that may affect your health if the house is left untreated.
How do you know if your home is contaminated?
Firstly, if your property were involved in illegal drug activity, the police would have been engaged, owners informed, and the council should have it on record. You can check with the real estate agents if they know of existing contamination reports or forensic testing, which you can access. Neighbours to the property are also a great source of knowledge, so a door knock asking the question, “Do you know of any meth use next door?” will typically provide you with the answer you are looking for.
However, there may be no apparent signs, especially if the property wasn’t a meth lab. Suppose you still have your reservations and want a test to confirm or deny. In that case, Kiwi House Inspections will perform a professional meth testing service that follows New Zealand Standards 8510:2017 using methodologies approved by The Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) of New Zealand.
You can trust us to undertake a detailed inspection and deliver clear and accurate results with expert advice and recommendations on the following steps, with details of contacts. We ensure that you are never left with unanswered questions or unresolved concerns.
Note: Anything under 15 micrograms per 100cm2 is considered safe for habitation.
