DrugRisk IQ™ AppDrug Risk Photo Guidance
See something suspicious? Snap it. Send it. Ask an expert.
Free to use — no cost to open the app, send your photos, or get our team's visual risk guidance.
DrugRisk IQ is a drug risk app for NZ property owners, landlords and property managers. Get drug identification photo guidance for a suspicious drug item, drug paraphernalia identification guidance, or a drug risk property assessment — all from a single photo.
DrugRisk IQ provides visual guidance only. It does not chemically identify or confirm the presence of drugs from a photograph. Where confirmation is required, appropriate testing may be recommended.
Seeing something unusual that doesn't fit the property?
Staining, residues, odd odours, or paraphernalia that just doesn't look right — don't wait and wonder.

Built for the people who manage, own, and inspect property
property drug testing industry
We designed DrugRisk IQ because we saw a real need for a fast response when people are concerned they may encounter — or aren't sure about — suspicious drug activity.
Instead of waiting and worrying, capture what you see and get it in front of our team quickly. A faster response means faster clarity, and faster clarity means safer properties.

We Detect to Protect™
Independent testing. Safer properties.
No Full Address Needed
DrugRisk IQ is built with privacy at its core. We never ask for your full street address or house number. Just tell us the general area — that's all our team needs to provide useful guidance.
Street name and general area — for example, Victoria Street, Hamilton
House or unit numbers — we don't need 000 Victoria Street, Hamilton
GPS and photo metadata are stripped automatically before your images reach our team. Your privacy is protected by design, not as an afterthought.
Your Safety Comes First
Do not touch, smell, taste, or disturb any unknown substances. Keep a safe distance and photograph from a position that doesn't put you at risk.
Photographs alone cannot confirm the presence of methamphetamine contamination or any other specific substance. A photograph is a visual indicator only — not a test result.
If you believe you've encountered a contaminated environment or a clandestine laboratory, leave the area immediately and contact emergency services on 111.
Professional on-site assessment by a qualified tester may be required to determine whether contamination is present and at what level.
New for 2026: The Real Estate Authority has updated its methamphetamine disclosure guidance. If you've found something concerning, understanding the disclosure framework can help you decide your next step. Read our guide to the 2026 disclosure changes →
Property Inspections Can Provide Important Early Warning Signs
Property or other information may provide reasons for further investigation. However, these indicators do not establish that a property is contaminated with methamphetamine. Determining whether methamphetamine residue is present requires appropriate testing.
Where there is uncertainty, buyers, sellers, landlords and property professionals should obtain appropriate professional advice rather than relying on assumptions.
DrugRisk IQ™ by Envirocheck
Envirocheck has developed DrugRisk IQ to help property managers, landlords, property purchasers and concerned parents recognise potential drug-related warning signs. The app provides reference images and educational information showing examples of potential indicators people may encounter.
If a user discovers something concerning, they can safely photograph it and submit the images to EnviroCheck for guidance about what they may be seeing and what an appropriate next step could be.
The image-review service is a risk-identification and educational tool — not a methamphetamine test. Photographs cannot establish whether methamphetamine contamination is present. Where the circumstances indicate a potential contamination risk, professional assessment or laboratory testing may be recommended.
Buying or Managing a Property?
If you are buying a property and methamphetamine contamination has been disclosed, suspected or identified as a potential risk, obtaining independent information before making a decision can be important.
EnviroCheck provides methamphetamine property testing and contamination assessment services in Hamilton, Waikato and other areas of New Zealand.
