METH TESTING
Safeguard your home, health & investment
Methamphetamine contamination poses serious health risks and can significantly reduce a property's value. Whether you're buying, selling, or renting, ensuring your property is free from methamphetamine contamination is essential for both safety and financial security. At AA House Checks, we provide independent, confidential methamphetamine testing services across Christchurch, Rolleston, Ashburton, and the wider Canterbury region. Our certified samplers collect samples that are analyzed by an IANZ-accredited laboratory, giving you accurate, reliable results suitable for property transactions, legal matters, and insurance purposes.
Why meth testing is essential.
Methamphetamine residue can remain in a home long after it has been used or manufactured, contaminating surfaces, walls, carpets, and even building materials.
Exposure to methamphetamine contamination can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory distress, skin irritation, headaches, nausea, and, in severe cases, long-term neurological and organ damage.
Beyond health concerns, a meth-contaminated property can lose significant market value and become difficult to sell or rent. Purchasing a meth-affected property can result in tens of thousands of dollars in decontamination costs, and insurance providers may refuse coverage. In cases where a property has been used as a meth lab, remediation often requires stripping the home back to its framing.
Don't take unnecessary risks. Ensure your home or investment property is safe with professional methamphetamine testing.
Our meth testing process.
Our trusted contractor, AA Meth Tests, uses a two-step methamphetamine testing process to detect contamination. All samples are processed by an independent, IANZ-accredited laboratory, ensuring highly accurate results. Testing and reporting are completed in accordance with Ministry of Health guidelines, providing trusted and actionable information about your property.

Detailed individual testing
If contamination is detected, we can conduct targeted testing to determine specific contamination levels in different areas of the property.
