METH TESTING
Safeguard your home, health & investment
Methamphetamine contamination poses serious health risks and can significantly reduce a property's value. Whether you're buying, selling, or renting, ensuring a property is meth-free is essential for safety and financial security. At AA House Checks, we provide independent, confidential meth testing services across Christchurch, Rolleston, Ashburton, and the wider Canterbury region. Our certified samplers collect samples that are analyzed by an IANZ-accredited laboratory, giving you accurate, reliable results suitable for legal and insurance purposes.
Why meth testing is essential.
Methamphetamine residue can linger in a home long after it has been used or manufactured, contaminating surfaces, walls, carpets, and even the building’s structural materials.
Exposure to meth contamination can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory distress, skin irritation, headaches, nausea, and, in severe cases, long-term neurological and organ damage.
Beyond health concerns, a meth-contaminated home loses significant market value. Purchasing a meth-affected property can result in tens of thousands of dollars in decontamination costs, and insurance providers may refuse coverage. In cases where a property has been used as a meth lab, remediation often requires stripping the home back to its framing.
Don’t take the risk—ensure your property is safe with professional meth testing.
