Comprehensive Meth Decontamination Services
Our meth decontamination services cover every aspect of methamphetamine remediation:
Meth Lab Decontamination
Complete decontamination of properties used for methamphetamine manufacturing. We remove all chemical residues, neutralise contamination, and restore the property to meet the 0.5µg per 100cm² safety standard.
Meth House Decontamination
Properties where methamphetamine has been used or smoked require professional decontamination. Our team eliminates meth residue from all surfaces, walls, ceilings, and ventilation systems.
Commercial Meth Decontamination
We provide meth decontamination services for commercial properties, rental properties, and real estate requiring clearance before sale or lease.
Meth Testing and Decontamination Process
Our comprehensive process includes:
- Initial meth testing — onsite presumptive testing and laboratory analysis
- Decontamination method selection — triple wash/triple rinse or chemical neutralisation
- Complete remediation — treatment of all contaminated surfaces and materials
- Post-remediation validation testing — laboratory analysis to confirm safe levels
- Clearance documentation — official certification for property owners and stakeholders
Two Proven Meth Decontamination Methods
TACT Bio-Recovery has conducted extensive testing to determine the most effective meth decontamination processes for Melbourne properties.
Triple Wash, Triple Rinse Method
For properties with lower levels of methamphetamine contamination, we apply a triple wash, triple rinse decontamination procedure. This labour-intensive process involves multiple cleaning cycles to progressively reduce contamination levels.
Best for: Properties with contamination levels slightly above the 0.5µg/100cm² threshold.
Chemical Neutralisation Process
For most meth contaminated properties, we recommend our chemical methamphetamine neutralisation process. This advanced method uses a biodegradable neutralising agent that breaks down methamphetamine at the molecular level, leaving only oxygen and water as byproducts.
Benefits of chemical neutralisation:
- Faster decontamination (8 hours for average 15-20sqm home)
- More cost-effective than extensive labour processes
- No removal of plasterboard required in most cases
- Effective on higher contamination readings
- Final validation testing can occur within 24 hours
This is our preferred method for meth decontamination in Melbourne properties due to its efficiency and effectiveness.
The Meth Decontamination Process
Step 1: Initial Meth Testing
We perform onsite presumptive testing to identify the presence of methamphetamine contamination. Samples are sent to independent laboratories for analysis to determine contamination levels.
Step 2: Decontamination Plan
Based on contamination levels, we recommend the most effective and economical decontamination method — either triple wash/rinse or chemical neutralisation.
Step 3: Property Decontamination
Our certified technicians treat all contaminated areas:
- Walls, ceilings, and floors
- Fixtures and fittings
- HVAC systems and ventilation
- Carpets and soft furnishings (often require removal)
- Vehicles if contaminated
Step 4: Validation Testing
After decontamination, we conduct post-remediation swab testing to confirm methamphetamine levels are below the safe threshold of 0.5µg per 100cm².
Step 5: Clearance Certificate
Once validation testing confirms safe levels, we provide official documentation certifying the property has been successfully decontaminated and is safe for habitation.
Why Professional Meth Decontamination is Essential
DO NOT Attempt Meth Decontamination Yourself
Meth lab cleanup and decontamination must be performed by trained professionals. The risks of DIY meth cleaning include:
Health Hazards Methamphetamine chemicals and residue are not fully visible to the naked eye. Exposure during amateur cleanup attempts can cause the same symptoms experienced by meth users — respiratory problems, skin irritation, neurological effects, and long-term health damage.
Incomplete Decontamination Standard cleaning products and methods cannot eliminate methamphetamine contamination. Only specialised decontamination processes reduce contamination to safe levels.
Legal Liability Property owners are legally responsible for ensuring properties meet safety standards. Inadequate decontamination can result in liability if future occupants suffer health effects.
Explosion Risk Meth labs contain volatile chemicals and equipment. Improper handling can result in chemical reactions, fires, or explosions.
The Cost of Meth Decontamination
While meth decontamination involves an investment, the cost of professional remediation is far less than:
- Legal liability from inadequate cleanup
- Long-term health problems from exposure
- Property damage from improper treatment
- Loss of property value without proper clearance

Frequently Asked Questions About Meth Decontamination
How do I know if my Melbourne property needs meth decontamination?
If your property was used for methamphetamine manufacturing or regular use, or if you suspect contamination, professional meth testing is essential. We provide onsite presumptive testing and laboratory analysis to determine contamination levels.
What is the cost of meth decontamination in Melbourne?
The cost depends on the size of the property and contamination levels. Our chemical neutralisation method is typically more cost-effective than traditional methods. Contact us for a detailed quote.
How long does meth decontamination take?
Using our chemical neutralisation process, an average 15-20sqm Melbourne home can be treated in under 8 hours. Final validation testing can be conducted after 24 hours. The full process from initial testing to clearance typically takes 1-2 weeks.
What is the safe level for methamphetamine in properties?
The Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Guidelines establish 0.5µg per 100cm² as the safe threshold. Our decontamination processes achieve levels below this standard.
Can I clean meth contamination myself?
No. Meth decontamination requires specialised knowledge, equipment, and processes. DIY attempts put your health at serious risk and rarely achieve safe contamination levels.
Do I need meth decontamination if police have already cleaned the property?
Yes. Law enforcement removes equipment and chemicals but does not decontaminate properties. Dangerous residues remain throughout the building and require professional remediation.
