Meth Residue Testing in Perth
Meth Residue Testing
If you suspect a property may have been exposed to meth use, it’s important to act quickly and responsibly. Invisible chemical residues can linger on walls, ceilings, and surfaces long after drug use has stopped — putting future occupants at risk.
At DeconWA, we provide professional meth residue testing services throughout Perth and regional Western Australia. Our goal is to give you clear, certified results so you can make informed decisions about your property’s safety and next steps.
Why Meth Testing Is Important
Even low levels of meth residue can cause symptoms such as:
- Headaches and fatigue
- Nausea or dizziness
- Eye, skin, and respiratory irritation
- Behavioural changes or sleep problems
Testing provides peace of mind for:
- Home buyers during pre-purchase inspections
- Property managers between or after tenancies
- Landlords who suspect drug use by tenants
- Families experiencing unexplained health issues
By confirming whether contamination exists, meth testing helps prevent unnecessary cleaning costs and protects your health and investment.
Our Meth Testing Process
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We begin with a detailed discussion about your property, its history, and any concerns you may have. This allows us to identify high-risk areas and determine the most effective testing approach.
Step 2: On-Site Sampling
Our certified technicians perform surface sampling using industry-approved collection kits. Samples are taken from multiple key locations (such as walls, ceilings, and air vents) to ensure accurate results.
Step 3: Laboratory Analysis
Samples are submitted to a NATA-accredited laboratory, where they are analysed for traces of methamphetamine residue.
The results provide a detailed contamination report showing:
- Residue levels (micrograms per 100cm²)
- Contaminated areas and severity
- Comparison to Australian guideline limits
Step 4: Detailed Reporting
Once results are received, we compile a comprehensive report that includes:
- Lab results and interpretation
- Photos and sample locations
- Recommendations for remediation if required
If contamination is detected, DeconWA can prepare a Remediation Action Plan (RAP) and provide certified meth decontamination services to restore your property to a safe condition.

We offer several levels of testing depending on your needs:
- Instant Indicative Testing – a fast, on-site check to identify possible contamination.
- Laboratory-Certified Testing – detailed lab analysis for accurate and legally recognised results.
