Unfortunately, meth testing is one of those things that is a big part of buying and selling and renting a home. Make sure you add on meth testing for your home for peace of mind, and as a document to prove it has been checked for your insurer should any issues arise.
Once samples are taken and sent to the laboratory it takes 2 working days to complete the testing (this excludes courier delivery time). Testing is carried out in accordance to NZS8510.
The Canterbury Earthquakes have taught us that floor level surveys help significantly to prove after an event that issues to do with your foundations are not historic... Make life easier for yourself and tack on having these checked by our qualified LBPs to safeguard your home for any future claim.
Floor level surveys will also help with understanding the current status of the foundations which will be useful for any future developments of the property such as renovations.
