Methamphetamine is a growing problem in New Zealand, particularly for home-buyers, tenants, landlords and, by default, property managers, and a property that is contaminated with Meth poses a serious health risk to anyone living in or entering the property.

At ATL they understand the stress that contaminated properties create because we work with them every single day, and they aim to make the process of fixing and restoring the health of a property as simple and stress free as possible.

Contaminated properties and sites pose a serious health risk to anyone living and working in and around them, and regardless of the cause, all contamination should normally be fixed before people return to the property or before any future development occurs. If not done correctly, with the correct personal protection equipment, repairing the damage to a building, home or site can be a costly and time intensive process.

According to recent reports from the Auckland region, just over 40% of all the dwellings sampled for methamphetamine in the last two years have returned a positive result and of these, 40% were over the threshold limit, identifying that methamphetamine is located in the property above the NZS8510 standards level. What this means is that one out of six properties tested in Auckland have been above the guideline threshold. These are just the statistics for meth testing properties in Auckland, but the numbers hold true for the other locations around the country.

At ATL they always recommend seeking professional advice from the start to ensure you are taking the safest, most cost effective and efficient approach to resolve your environmental challenge, and their team of remediation experts will work with you to determine an approach that is right for you. They understand that it can often be upsetting to need remediation services in the first place, so their aim is to make the process as simple and stress free as possible, for you to focus on getting back into your workplace or home, or moving on to the next phase of your development project.
