Methamphetamine and Fentanyl Testing
Methamphetamine and fentanyl residues can remain on surfaces after drug use or manufacturing, even when there are no visible signs of contamination. We can determine whether these contaminants are present in a home, rental property, or other occupied space. Testing can be particularly valuable for homebuyers, homeowners, landlords, property managers, realtors, and families moving into previously occupied properties, as well as anyone concerned about a history of drug use or manufacturing. Laboratory-based surface testing provides objective information that can help determine whether further investigation or remediation is warranted and provides peace of mind when the history of a property is uncertain.
Drug Use Doesn’t Have a Zip Code
Methamphetamine and fentanyl use are not confined to rundown neighborhoods, abandoned properties, or the stereotypical “drug house.” Substance use occurs across communities and socioeconomic groups, including in well-maintained suburban homes, apartment buildings, luxury residences, and other high-value properties. Nationally, an estimated 2.4 million Americans used methamphetamine in the past year, demonstrating that this is a widespread issue—not one limited to a particular type of person or neighborhood. Because drug residue can remain after the occupants have left, the history of a property may not be apparent from its appearance or location. Testing can provide objective information when buying, selling, renting, or investigating a property with a questionable or unknown history.
