Risk Doesn't Exist in Isolation.
What happens next door can directly impact your property. Our assessments go beyond the four walls — evaluating the surrounding environment as part of a complete risk picture.
Drug Activity Nearby
Reports of drug-related incidents in surrounding or adjacent properties significantly elevate your property's risk profile.
Police Presence & Incidents
Known police call-outs or drug-related incidents in the street are direct indicators of elevated neighbourhood risk.
High Turnover Rental Area
Streets with frequent tenant changes and short-term occupancies historically carry a higher likelihood of contamination events.
Previous Contamination in the Street
If a neighbouring property has had confirmed meth contamination, your property's risk increases — even without direct evidence.
Envirocheck Property Risk Intelligence™

Six assessment sections covering:

Your Property Due Diligence Guide
Based on real-world field observations across New Zealand, this checklist covers everything a responsible landlord should document — before, during, and between tenancies.
"Without a pre-tenancy baseline test, it can be nearly impossible to prove when contamination occurred — or who caused it."
When Should You Get Tested?
Meth contamination can occur at any stage of a property's life. Here are the most common situations where testing is critical.
Before Purchasing
Protect your investment. Know exactly what you're buying before settlement.
Before a New Tenancy
Document baseline condition before keys are handed over. Essential for your records.
After a Tenancy Ends
Establish whether contamination occurred during occupancy — critical for any dispute.
Insurance Requirements
Many policies now require evidence of testing. Avoid declined claims.
Suspicious Activity
Unusual smells, chemical equipment, or behavioural warning signs — act now.
Compliance & Due Diligence
Healthy Homes, tribunal documentation, and property sale disclosure obligations.
A Smarter Way to
Manage Property Risk
MethShield® is a property deterrent and prevention system developed by Envirocheck® to support the proactive management of meth contamination risk in New Zealand property environments.
"Deterrence is everything."
MethShield® aims to reduce the risk of meth contamination through visible deterrence and prevention-focused property practices — helping landlords, property managers, and housing providers take a more proactive approach to protecting their properties.
The system includes professionally produced deterrent materials and documentation designed to signal active risk management. Placement of MethShield® materials communicates to potential occupants that the property is actively monitored and managed — making it a less attractive target.
MethShield® is not a testing or remediation service. It is a prevention-first tool that works alongside regular meth screening to form a complete property risk management strategy. Used together, they provide both deterrence and forensic evidence of due diligence.
Visible Deterrence
Prominent, professional placement signals active risk management to potential users.
Prevention First
Reducing risk before contamination occurs — not just responding after the fact.
Proactive Management
Supports landlords, managers, and housing providers with structured risk oversight.
Why Deterrence Matters
Visible deterrence can play an important role in reducing risk before contamination occurs. MethShield® supports prevention-focused property practices that put you ahead of the problem — not behind it.

Professional Assessments
You Can Rely On
EnviroCheck works directly with landlords, property managers, and housing providers across New Zealand. Our qualified assessors carry out on-site inspections with the rigour and documentation your insurance and tenancy obligations demand.
The Human Cost of Methamphetamine
At Envirocheck, we assess properties every day. But behind many of those properties are people, families, and communities whose lives have been affected by methamphetamine.
Over the years, we have spoken with thousands of New Zealanders — some because of contamination concerns, others trying to understand what happened in a property they owned, managed, or lived in.
What many people don't talk about is the impact methamphetamine can have on families.

As a landlord with multiple rentals across Hamilton, I needed someone independent — not a company that also does the cleanup. EnviroCheck's independence was the deciding factor. The risk calculator flagged issues I hadn't even considered.

We engaged EnviroCheck for a pre-purchase assessment on a property in Whangārei. The detailed assessment was thorough, the turnaround was fast, and it gave our buyer absolute confidence. I now refer all my conveyancing clients to them.
