For Homebuyers · Victoria
Meth Residue Testing Before You Buy
Know before you sign. Independent pre-purchase testing with NATA-accredited partner laboratory analysis for homebuyers across Melbourne and Victoria wide.
01 / The risk
What a building inspection won’t tell you.
A standard building and pest inspection does not test for methamphetamine contamination. Residue from smoking or manufacturing settles into walls, carpets, and ventilation systems and can remain long after a property looks freshly renovated. Once you’ve settled, the cost of remediation and any health impact becomes yours, not the seller’s.
02 / Pricing
Fixed pricing, decided before any work begins.
Screening from $400, priced by the size of the property
You get the figure in writing before we attend. No surprises once we are on site.
Lab confirmation quoted per job
Only if your screen returns positive. Quoted per job, with each sample priced separately, and confirmed in writing before anything is sent to the laboratory.
Rapid property screening starts from $400 and is priced by the size of the property. Laboratory testing is quoted per job with each sample priced separately. You get both figures in writing before anything happens.
03 / Why it holds up
Evidence that protects you at settlement, with insurers, and in negotiations.
- NIOSH 9111 certified sampling method
- NATA-accredited partner laboratory analysis, VCAT defensible reports
- Public liability and professional indemnity insured
- Discreet attendance, unmarked vehicle, no signage
- We test only. We never decontaminate or clear our own work, so your report holds up
04 / How it works
Four steps, documented protection before you sign.

Choose a time that suits you through the booking form or call us direct. We work around auction and settlement deadlines and can attend within days of your enquiry.

Discreet on-site screen, 60 to 90 minutes
Our technician attends in an unmarked vehicle with no signage, completes the NIOSH 9111 screen on site and explains the readings before leaving.
- 03
Most properties clear on the spot with a Screening Report
A clear screen gives you a documented Screening Report on the spot — the baseline evidence you need before you sign.
- 04
If positive, lab confirmation and documented grounds
If a screen returns positive, lab confirmation gives you documented grounds to renegotiate the price or walk away before settlement.
