Australia uses a health investigation level of 0.5 µg/100 cm² for residential surfaces, set by the Australian Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Guidelines (2011). A result above that level means the property should have a detailed assessment and, usually, professional remediation before people live in it. Some commercial settings have a higher investigation level. See our guide to safe meth levels.

Yes, as a first screen. A DIY kit such as our single house kit gives an indication in minutes. It cannot give you a number, is not NATA accredited and will not satisfy an insurer, tribunal or buyer. If a kit shows a positive, or the stakes are high, book professional sampling. Compare the two.

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.
