Contam Solutions provides professional meth decontamination and meth residue remediation for landlords, property managers, housing providers and homeowners dealing with meth-contaminated residential properties. We assess the available testing information, develop a practical remediation scope and complete the required meth cleaning, treatment and decontamination works, with independent post-remediation testing undertaken following completion of the remediation works.
Methamphetamine residue can remain on surfaces following methamphetamine use within a property. Whether professional remediation is required depends on the measured contamination levels, the extent of affected areas, the condition of the property and the relevant Australian standards.
Where illicit manufacture or a former drug laboratory is suspected, the property may require a different assessment and remediation pathway.
Send us the report and we can review the contamination results, assess the remediation requirements and prepare a clear scope of works and quotation.
Calling us is you first step so that we can advise you on your next steps.
We utilise appropriate disposal packages to guarantee that the environment and the property are not contaminated.
Methamphetamine decontamination and meth residue remediation require more than general cleaning. Effective meth contamination remediation depends on the level and extent of contamination, the surfaces and materials affected, the condition of the property, and the findings of the property assessment and testing.
Contam Solutions uses a structured, multi-stage remediation process designed to reduce methamphetamine residue on affected surfaces to the relevant Australian standards while minimising unnecessary damage to the property. Depending on the contamination levels and materials involved, this may include targeted cleaning, chemical treatment, agitation, rinsing, detailed surface and edge cleaning, and other remediation techniques appropriate to the property.
Our methamphetamine remediation work is undertaken in general accordance with the Australian Government Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Guidelines (2011) and the Australian Voluntary Code of Practice – Assessment, Remediation and Validation of Former Clandestine Drug Laboratory Sites and Other Methamphetamine Contaminated Properties (2019).
These guidelines provide the framework we use for assessing remediation requirements, developing the scope of works, carrying out the remediation process and determining the appropriate pathway for post-remediation validation.
Following completion of remediation, post-remediation validation is undertaken independently by suitably qualified occupational hygienists or appropriately qualified testing technicians, with samples submitted for laboratory analysis as required. This separation between remediation and validation provides an independent assessment of the completed work and confirms whether the property meets the relevant Australian standards.
All Contam Solutions remediation work is based on independent testing results. Where a Remediation Action Plan (RAP) is provided, we follow it. If no RAP is available, we develop a property-specific remediation plan based on contamination levels, affected materials and relevant Australian standards.
We use structured meth residue cleaning and remediation processes designed to reduce methamphetamine residue to the relevant Australian standards.
The remediation method is selected according to the contamination levels, affected materials, property condition and agreed scope of works.
Following completion of the remediation works, the property is independently tested and validated by a suitably qualified occupational hygienist or testing technician.
This ensures the completed remediation work is independently assessed and properly verified against the relevant Australian standards.
Our teams work discreetly and professionally, using appropriate PPE, equipment and site controls throughout the remediation process.
Contaminated materials and waste are managed and disposed of appropriately where required as part of the agreed remediation scope.
Contam Solutions is based in Victoria and undertakes methamphetamine remediation projects across Melbourne, regional Victoria and Australia-wide.
Specialist remediation for properties affected by illicit drug manufacture or laboratory activity.
Structured cleaning and property recovery for severe hoarding and complex occupancy conditions.
Discreet specialist cleaning for trauma, bodily fluids and other biohazard contamination.
The remediation process starts with independent testing and finishes with independent post-remediation validation. The exact scope varies from property to property, but the typical process is:
The client provides an independent testing or assessment report identifying the methamphetamine contamination levels and affected areas within the property.
Contam Solutions reviews the independent report and any Remediation Action Plan (RAP) provided by the occupational hygienist or testing provider.
Where no RAP has been supplied, Contam Solutions develops a property-specific remediation plan based on the independent testing results, affected materials, contamination levels and the relevant Australian standards.
We provide a clear quotation detailing the proposed remediation works, methodology and scope.
Where we recommend varying an existing RAP, the proposed variation and reasoning are clearly identified in the quotation before work begins.
Contam Solutions undertakes the agreed remediation works using appropriate meth cleaning, chemical treatment and remediation methods for the contamination levels and surfaces involved.
Following completion of the remediation works, an independent occupational hygienist or suitably qualified testing technician undertakes post-remediation sampling of the property.
The collected samples are then sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis.
The independent testing provider reviews the laboratory results against the relevant Australian standards.
If any tested areas do not meet the relevant Australian standards, Contam Solutions re-attends the property and undertakes further remediation of the affected areas. Those areas are then independently re-tested as required.
Once all required areas meet the relevant Australian standards, the independent testing provider issues a clearance certificate or validation report confirming the outcome of the post-remediation testing.
Once satisfactory independent validation results are received, Contam Solutions provides the client with the relevant remediation documentation, photographs and project records.
Following completion of the remediation works, the completed work is independently assessed by a suitably qualified occupational hygienist or testing technician, with samples submitted to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis.
Where any tested area does not meet the relevant Australian standards, Contam Solutions re-attends the property and undertakes further remediation before the affected area is independently re-tested.
Our quotations clearly set out the proposed remediation works, methodology, costs and any identified risks or potential property damage.
Where an independent Remediation Action Plan (RAP) has been provided, we use it as the basis for our remediation works. Any proposed variation is clearly identified in our quotation before work begins.
Contam Solutions carries appropriate insurance for the specialist remediation work we undertake.
Our methamphetamine remediation work is undertaken in general accordance with the Australian Government Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Guidelines and the Australian Voluntary Code of Practice for methamphetamine-contaminated properties.
Our methamphetamine remediation work is undertaken in general accordance with the Australian Government Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Guidelines and the Australian Voluntary Code of Practice for methamphetamine-contaminated properties.
Residential meth decontamination is the remediation of a property affected by methamphetamine residue. It may also be described more broadly as meth house cleaning or meth residue remediation, depending on the type of property and work required.
The appropriate starting point is independent testing or assessment of the property.
If testing identifies methamphetamine contamination above the relevant Australian standards, or an independent assessment recommends remediation, Contam Solutions can review the report and prepare an appropriate remediation scope.
In a word- No!
Our work is based on an independent property assessment or testing report supplied by the client.
Where formal testing or assessment has not yet been undertaken, we can explain the next step and direct you towards an appropriate independent testing provider.
This separation between testing and remediation helps avoid conflicts of interest.
A Remediation Action Plan sets out how the identified contamination should be addressed and may include the areas requiring remediation, affected materials, proposed treatment methods and clearance requirements.
Where an independent occupational hygienist or testing provider has supplied a RAP, Contam Solutions uses it as the basis for the remediation works.
Where no RAP has been supplied, we develop a property-specific remediation plan using the independent testing results and available property information.
Yes. In some circumstances we may identify an alternative remediation method that we believe could achieve the required outcome more effectively, economically or with less unnecessary damage to the property.
Any proposed variation from an independently prepared RAP is clearly identified in our quotation before remediation begins.
Following completion of the remediation works, an independent occupational hygienist or suitably qualified testing technician undertakes post-remediation sampling.
The samples are then sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory for analysis.
The independent testing provider reviews the laboratory results against the relevant Australian standards.
If any tested area does not meet the relevant Australian standards, Contam Solutions re-attends the property and undertakes further remediation of the affected area.
The area is then independently re-tested as required.
Once all required areas meet the relevant Australian standards, the independent testing provider can issue the appropriate clearance certificate or validation report.
No. The clearance certificate or validation report is issued by the independent occupational hygienist or testing provider responsible for the post-remediation assessment.
Contam Solutions undertakes the remediation work but does not independently validate its own completed remediation.
Timeframes vary depending on the size of the property, contamination levels, affected materials, required remediation methods and whether further work is required following post-remediation testing.
