When you think of meth contamination, you might picture a run-down drug lab in an abandoned property. But the reality is far more alarming. In Australia, around 50% of properties tested for methamphetamine residue return a positive result—including homes in quiet suburbs, rentals, and even newly purchased properties.

At Meth Test Brisbane, we’re on the front line of this hidden health crisis, helping property owners, tenants, and real estate professionals identify and address meth contamination safely and thoroughly.

The Shocking Truth: Meth Contamination is More Common Than You Think Recent data from independent environmental testing services across Australia reveal that 1 in 2 homes tested show some level of meth residue—even when there’s no obvious sign of drug use or production.

In Queensland, our warm climate, high rental turnover, and strong investment property market make local homes particularly vulnerable. Contamination can occur from as little as one or two recreational users smoking meth indoors, leaving behind invisible but hazardous residues. Why This Matters for Homeowners, Buyers, and Renters Meth residue can seep into walls, carpets, air-conditioning units, and ceiling cavities. Left undetected, it can:

Lower a property’s market value

Pose serious health risks, especially to children and the elderly

Result in expensive decontamination and repair costs

Leave landlords open to legal liability if tenants fall ill

Health symptoms linked to meth residue exposure include skin irritation, headaches, nausea, fatigue, behavioural changes, and respiratory issues.

What Are the Warning Signs? Most homes with meth contamination look completely normal. Unless the property was used for large-scale production, there may be no obvious signs. The only reliable way to know is with professional meth testing. At Meth Test Brisbane, we offer:

Instant field tests for rapid results

Lab-based composite or individual room testing

NATA-accredited laboratory reporting

Post-clean clearance testing to confirm a property is safe
