Methamphetamine (also known as meth, ice, or crystal meth) is an illicit substance that is rapidly growing in occurrence throughout Australia. More and more commonly, people illegally manufacture and use meth in their homes and as a result, contaminate the surfaces of their home including walls and floors. Meth leaves an odourless and invisible residue behind which can only be detected using proper testing methods. It is dangerous for you and your family and if ingested or absorbed through the skin, can cause serious health problems.

There is no way to know if methamphetamines have been used in your home without testing. If a property has been contaminated with meth, it will deliver a positive result on proper rapid methamphetamine testing conducted by CTP Inspections if the levels are higher than 0.5μg/100cm². At this level, exposure is considered high risk and can be harmful to both humans and the environment.
There are many known side effects of meth exposure. The most apparent health risks include:
Meth exposure is particularly harmful for children and effects are worsened for younger humans. Don’t take the risk and get your property tested for meth before you move in. It will provide you with peace of mind for you and your family. For more information, please refer to Australian Government Clandestine Drug Remediation Guidelines published in 2011.
Methamphetamine testing should be conducted at various points in a property’s lifecycle.
