Pioneers of Baseline Meth Testing in New Zealand

EnviroCheck led the industry — and still does

We pioneered the baseline meth testing approach — testing a property at the start of a tenancy and retaining that result as a documented starting condition for future comparison.

EnviroCheck has been part of New Zealand's methamphetamine property testing industry since the early 2010s, building deep field experience across the country.

Today, we continue to innovate through MethShield® deterrence and monitoring and the Drug Risk IQ snap-and-send tool — extending property risk management beyond reactive testing.
