Meth Decontamination Cleaning Auckland
Ensure Your Home Is Completely Safe and Decontaminated
If you suspect that your property was a former meth lab and has been contaminated by methamphetamine (meth) use or production, taking immediate action is crucial to safeguard your health and well-being.
Meth contamination isn’t just a surface-level problem – toxic chemicals can seep into walls, carpets, and even the air, posing serious health hazards such as respiratory issues, skin irritations, and long-term effects on the nervous system.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or property manager, addressing meth contamination immediately protects both your property and its inhabitants, and prevents you from being legally liable.
We specialise in professional meth decontamination services, offering thorough and reliable solutions to remove harmful contaminants from your home.

We will do everything we can to make this as least disruptive and completed as quickly as possible by working efficiently.
Ensuring Compliance with Regulations
In New Zealand, properties must meet strict contamination thresholds to be deemed safe for habitation. We ensuring that your decontaminated property will comply with all legal standards and the latest safety guidelines.
Taking Care Of Your Property
Decontamination may involve removing and replacing walls, flooring, and insulation, which can cause significant damage to the structure of the property.
We will do everything we can to minimise any alterations that need to be made to your home.
Certified & Experienced Professionals
Our team have all the proper certification and experience for meth decontamination. New Zealand has strict decontamination standards, and we will ensure the work we do complies fully with these so that your home is safe.
Complete Decontamination
If all contaminated areas are not thoroughly cleaned especially in hidden spots like air ducts, insulation, or behind walls, this can leave dangerous meth residues in the property, potentially exposing future occupants to harmful chemicals. Incomplete decontamination can also result in the need for further cleaning, increasing overall costs and time.
When you use our services, you can be sure you are getting a complete decontamination and will have no future issues.
Thorough Before and After Testing
Proper meth decontamination requires both pre-cleaning and post-cleaning testing to assess contamination levels and ensure the property is safe. If this is skipped or unreliable methods are used, this can leave property owners unsure whether the methamphetamine contamination has been fully addressed. Without accurate testing, there’s no guarantee that the home is safe for occupancy.
We do thorough testing both before and after decontamination, ensuring that it has been carried out effectively.
The Highest Safety Protocols
Meth decontamination involves handling hazardous substances, and safety protocols must be strictly followed to protect both the cleaning team and the property owners. You can rest assured that we will be following the strictest safety protocols both for your benefit and ours.
How Do You Decontaminate a Meth House?
Decontaminating a house that used to be a meth lab is a meticulous process that requires professional expertise to safely remove toxic residues. Here’s how we restore your property:
1. Initial Meth Testing and Assessment
We begin with comprehensive testing to measure the contamination levels in all affected areas, including walls, floors, ceilings, and air ducts. This will dictate the meth decontamination process we use.
2. Creating a Decontamination Plan
Based on the test results, we develop a customised decontamination plan tailored to your property. This plan outlines the areas that need cleaning, materials that must be removed, and the methods we’ll use to fully get rid of any meth residue and complete the meth cleanup.
3. Protective Measures
To ensure the safety of our team and prevent cross-contamination, we seal off affected areas and use personal protective equipment (PPE) during the cleaning process.
4. Thorough Cleaning
Using specialised cleaning agents, HEPA vacuum systems, and powerful equipment, we meticulously clean all surfaces, including walls, ceilings, carpets, and furnishings. In extreme cases, materials such as carpets or insulation may need to be removed.
5. Ventilation and Air Purification
We use air scrubbers and dehumidifiers to purify the air and eliminate airborne contaminants, ensuring the air quality is safe for habitation.
6. Post-Decontamination Testing
After cleaning, we conduct additional testing to ensure that the property meets New Zealand’s safety standards for meth contamination. This step guarantees that your home is free of any harmful residue.
7. Certification of Decontamination
Once the property passes all tests, we issue an official certification, confirming the property is safe for occupancy.
What Level of Meth Contamination Can Be Decontaminated?
In New Zealand, the legal threshold for meth contamination is 1.5 micrograms per 100 cm² in high-use areas such as kitchens and living rooms. Contamination below this level is considered safe for occupancy, while anything above it requires professional decontamination.
Our meth decontamination service can address contamination levels that exceed the legal threshold, whether it’s due to meth use or manufacturing.
We have successfully decontaminated properties with a wide range of contamination levels, including severe cases that involved high meth production.
Our advanced cleaning techniques and equipment are designed to handle even the most challenging contamination, ensuring your property meets strict safety standards by the time we’re finished.
Is a House Ever Safe to Live In After Being Contaminated by Meth?
Yes, a house can be made completely safe after being contaminated by meth, but only if proper decontamination procedures are followed by certified professionals.
Meth contamination poses serious health risks, but once the property has undergone thorough meth cleaning, it can return to a habitable and safe state.
The house will need to pass strict tests and be certified in order to be deemed just as safe as any other uncontaminated property. With our expert decontamination process, you can rest assured that your home is restored to a safe and healthy living environment.
What Is the Cost of Meth Decontamination?
The cost of meth decontamination can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Level of Contamination: Properties with higher contamination levels may require more extensive cleaning, which can increase costs.
- Size of the Property: Larger homes will naturally take longer to decontaminate and require more resources.
- Extent of Damage: In severe cases where carpets, furniture, or walls need to be removed or replaced, costs can increase.
As a general guide, meth decontamination services in Auckland can range from $5,000 to $30,000, depending on the factors above. We offer a transparent pricing structure and provide a detailed quote after conducting an initial inspection and testing so you know what to expect.
Can You DIY Meth Decontamination?
While there are DIY kits available for meth decontamination, attempting to clean a meth-contaminated property yourself is not recommended.
Meth contamination is a serious health hazard, and improper cleaning can leave behind harmful residues, putting you and future occupants at risk.
Without proper protective gear and decontamination training, you could expose yourself to harmful chemicals and long-term health effects.
On top of that, DIY methods often lack the thoroughness and precision of professional-grade cleaning equipment, meaning contamination could persist in unseen areas.
Also, properties in New Zealand must meet strict meth decontamination standards. DIY methods usually don’t comply with these regulations, leaving you liable if the property remains contaminated.
To ensure complete safety and compliance, it’s best to leave meth decontamination to certified professionals.
Our team has the training, experience, and equipment necessary to thoroughly decontaminate your property and ensure it is safe to live in again.
