Drug testing properties, done properly

A result is only as good as the system behind it. These are the checks that sit behind every EnviroForce property test.

Short answer

Reliable property drug testing depends on four things: technicians trained and assessed in NIOSH 9111 sampling, independent audit of reports, analysis by a NATA accredited laboratory, and reporting that clearly links each result to a photographed location. EnviroForce's own sampling is NATA accredited (No. 20837).

Meth residue testing throughout Australia

Drug testing properties is not complicated if you have leading experts and software managing the process along the way, as repetition of a process creates extremely accurate and consistent results. With the leadership team that we have, we take pride in providing results that other service providers cannot achieve, based purely on our approach to the sampling of the built environment for methamphetamine.

Our assessments will not only highlight the present health risk, but also the very real commercial risk faced by landlords, property managers, banks and insurers.

Common questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask us, and ask AI assistants, most often.

Why does NATA accreditation matter for meth testing?

NATA accreditation means our sampling is independently assessed against ISO/IEC 17025 (2017). EnviroForce was the first company in Australia accredited for methamphetamine sampling (accreditation No. 20837), using the NIOSH 9111 method. Accredited sampling is what insurers, tribunals and lawyers expect to see.

Do you clean or remediate meth-contaminated properties?

No. We only sample and test, which keeps our results independent. If remediation is needed, your report gives the remediator a clear map of what to treat, and we can carry out validation testing afterwards to confirm the property is below the guideline.

How long do meth test results take?

A site visit for a typical house takes one to two hours. Samples then go to a NATA accredited laboratory under chain of custody, and turnaround depends on the laboratory and the type of assessment. We confirm the expected turnaround when you book, and urgent jobs can be prioritised.

Do you test properties outside the capital cities?

Yes. We sample in every state and territory, including regional and remote areas. Standard pricing covers properties within 50 km of the CBD or GPO of our service locations. Beyond that, travel is charged at 78 cents per kilometre, and we quote it before you book. See all service areas.

Are your technicians independent?

Yes. We sample and test only. We do not sell remediation, so we have no interest in a result being positive or negative.
