Meth lab testing services by Bio-Tec Emergency Services, LLC, involve either professional on-site assessment and laboratory analysis or the use of do-it-yourself (DIY) test kits.

 

These services are used to detect the presence of methamphetamine and other chemical residues in properties that may have been used for drug production or use, ensuring the area is safe for occupants. 

 

Types of Services

• Professional Assessment and Testing: Certified technicians or industrial hygienists conduct comprehensive interior and exterior site inspections. They collect surface wipe samples and send them to an accredited laboratory for precise analysis using methods like Gas Chromatography with a Mass Spectrometer detector (GC/MS). This service provides legally defensible documentation of the contamination levels and a detailed remediation plan.
• DIY Test Kits: Property owners, realtors, or home inspectors can use easy-to-use kits to perform preliminary testing themselves. Some kits provide instant, semi-quantitative results on-site, while others require mailing the samples to a lab for accredited analysis, with results available within a few business days. 

 

Why Test?

Methamphetamine production and use leave behind hazardous chemical residues that do not dissipate over time and can cause a range of health issues, including respiratory problems, skin rashes, and anxiety.

 

The only way to confirm a property is safe is through testing.  Next Steps if Contamination is Found If a property is found to be contaminated above state-specific regulatory limits (which vary by state), professional decontamination services are required.

 

These specialists follow strict guidelines from agencies like the EPA and OSHA to safely remove and dispose of contaminated materials and chemically clean non-porous surfaces.

 

Post-remediation testing is then conducted to ensure the property meets all safety standards for reoccupation.
