Meth Residue Testing | Northern Rivers, New England, Coffs Coast & South East Queensland
The need for pre forensic testing is dependent on the circumstances of each property. Pre forensic testing can significantly reduce Drug Residue Decontamination costs by singling out contaminated areas only and the automatic discarding of any materials too contaminated to be cleaned.
BioHaz internationally trained and certified Methamphetamine Decontamination and Remediation technicians recommend a full and comprehensive meth testing regime including the employment of independent laboratory testing for all properties affected by methamphetamine. Testing for actual manufacturing chemicals is complex. With many methods utilised in manufacturing methamphetamine, there are potentially hundreds of compounds used in making the drug and that are formed in the process. Identifying these compounds require the knowledge and resources of an industrial hygienist.
Drug/Meth Residue Testing, Screening, Sampling
Pre-forensic testing is performed for a several reasons including to establish the reference conditions for remediation and to meet sampling requirements for insurance companies and other associated parties. An onsite survey and inspection is completed by a Meth Lab technician from Biohazard Cleaning to gain a preliminary assessment of the property and affected area where the goal is to provide information pertaining to, and to assist with, the development of the clean up plan. Any information gathered in the first step of the remediation process is documented in a written summary.
Pre forensic testing can significantly reduce costs associated in the remediation process by singling out contaminated areas only and the automatic discarding of any furnishings or materials too contaminated to be cleaned. Meth Lab Testing should be performed for the following reasons:
- To establish the reference conditions preceding remediation
- To ensure health and safety of any person working onsite both before and during the remediation process
- To meet sampling requirements needed by banks, insurance companies or any other associated entity
- To help quantify remediation costs
Laboratory Drug/Meth Residue Testing
Many home buyers in New England and Northern Rivers regions including Alstonville, Yamba, Ballina, Maclean, Byron Bay, Tweed South and Lismore unknowingly buy homes contaminated by methamphetamine, which when smoked or manufactured, release dangerous chemicals. Your dream property can quickly turn into a nightmare.
Meth Residue Test Kits
A contaminated home can not only cause sickness but also be uninhabitable for a long time. Even if your Northern Rivers or New England property has no past connections to meth, you should consider using a DIY drug testing kit or have professional technicians inspect the property before moving in to ensure no traces of contamination.
Drug Residue Testing Costs:
DIY - Surface Residue Test Kit
- Test up to 2 Separate Areas with 3 kits
- The simple 3 DIY Meth residue test kits provide a instant positive or negative reading for meth residue. These surface residue test kits provide a positive reading when contamination levels exceed 0.5ug (legal limit in Australia). Note: Test a maximum of 2 areas with the 3rd test kit used as a control test.
Composite Laboratory Testing
- 10 Individual Samples Analysed as 1 Sample
- Samples are taken from different rooms and are held in their own vile, then analysed as the laboratory as a single sample, providing an average of all samples taken. If a positive reading, each individual sample can be analysed separately. Note: Additional fees of $99 per sample applied for individual sampling.
Detailed Laboratory Testing - Complete
- 10 Individual Analysed Samples
- For detailed laboratory testing, 10 or more samples are taken from different rooms and surfaces. The samples are held in their own tube and are analysed at the lab individually to provide meth residue levels for each area tested. This testing allows a Scope of Works to be created by a drug residue cleanup company.
