Reasons to have a Meth Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Metamphetamine (Meth) has become a real blight on our society and unfortunately has become more common place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Meth contamination is rarely visible<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Meth labs operate in all suburbs, all over New Zealand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Property contaminated by meth poses serious health risks. Are you willing to compromise the well-being of people living in your property?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Decontaminating a property can cost tens of thousands of dollars. How would you fund clean up?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
If the property is badly contaminated, it may need to be demolished<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Insurance cover for decontamination of the newly acquired property is unlikely<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Property with a meth history will typically sell below market rates. Are you paying too much?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Loss of rental income while decontamination occurs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Tenants are being awarded compensation as a result of living in a contaminated property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
