Illicit Drug Residue Sampling and Home Inspections for Illicit Substances

Protect Your Home, Investment, and Health on the Gold Coast

Illicit drug use and manufacturing in residential properties is a growing concern across Australia, and the Gold Coast is no exception. What’s even more alarming is that drug residue can linger long after the activity has stopped—leaving behind invisible health hazards for future occupants.

At Meth Test Gold Coast, we specialise in Illicit Drug Residue Sampling and Home Inspections to ensure your home or investment property is safe, clean, and compliant.

What is Illicit Drug Residue?

Illicit substances like methamphetamine, MDMA, and other synthetic drugs can contaminate surfaces, walls, ceilings, and air-conditioning systems. Residue is left behind when:

  • Drugs are smoked inside the property

  • Illicit substances are stored or handled indoors

  • The property is used as a drug lab (even small-scale “backyard” setups)

This contamination isn’t always visible—and without proper testing, it’s easy to miss.

Why Residue Testing Matters

Illicit drug residue can be absorbed into porous surfaces like walls, ceilings, carpets, blinds, and soft furnishings. Even trace amounts can cause:

  • Respiratory issues and chronic coughing

  • Skin irritation and rashes

  • Headaches, dizziness, and nausea

  • Behavioural issues in children

  • Sleep disturbances

Residue doesn’t fade with time or surface cleaning. It requires professional testing and, if necessary, decontamination.

Who Should Get a Home Inspection?

You should consider an illicit substance inspection if you are:

  • Buying a property (especially if it’s been vacant or tenanted)

  • Selling a home and want to provide confidence to buyers

  • Renting out your property and want to safeguard your investment

  • Living in a rental and have health concerns or suspicion of previous drug use

  • A property manager responsible for multiple tenancies
