If you are at all suspicious that your property has been contaminated, whether it is a rental property or your own house, you will need to get it tested immediately to avoid any kind of health risk. Anyone can do the meth test but remember that you are investing in your own and others’ health and safety, so you need to get someone who is trained, and ATL Group have added meth decontamination to their list of services.

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 needs to be dealt with by a professional. At ATL they understand the stress that contaminated properties create because they 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.

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, so for more information on meth testing, identifying asbestos and asbestos management please go to http://www.atlgroup.co.nz .
