Protect Your Property, Transaction, and Liability Exposure

Drug residue contamination is increasingly identified during real estate transactions, rental turnovers, and legal disputes throughout Florida.

Unlike states with formalized cleanup registries, Florida does not maintain a uniform statewide methamphetamine contamination threshold. As a result, property owners, buyers, and attorneys rely on independent environmental testing to determine whether contamination is present.

5 Microns Inc. provides laboratory-based surface contamination assessments for:

  • Condominium units
  • Single-family homes
  • Multifamily rental properties
  • Commercial buildings

We perform independent testing only — no remediation — ensuring unbiased documentation suitable for real estate, legal, and compliance use.

Why Test for Drug Residue?

Drug residue contamination is not limited to large-scale manufacturing activity. In Florida, testing is commonly requested due to:

  • Undisclosed prior drug use
  • Rental property turnover
  • Short-term rental exposure
  • Real estate transaction concerns
  • Association or neighbor complaints
  • Legal disputes between buyers, sellers, or tenants

Surface contamination can remain after occupancy changes, and contamination is not always visible. Laboratory surface sampling provides objective confirmation of whether measurable residue is present.

Drug Contamination Testing Services

We provide lab-certified methamphetamine and fentanyl residue testing for:

  • Rental Homes & Apartments
  • Commercial Buildings & Offices
  • Real Estate Transactions
  • Post-Decontamination Clearance Testing
  • Court-Ordered Compliance Testing

What to Expect from our Drug Lab Testing Service

  • Non-invasive wipe sampling of surfaces throughout the property
  • Lab testing to detect presence and levels of meth and/or fentanyl
  • Clear, written report outlining findings, contamination levels, and recommendations
  • Optional post-cleanup retesting to ensure the space is safe for re-occupancy

All samples are analyzed by certified laboratories, with written results suitable for property records and third-party review.

Laboratory Protocol & Documentation

All sampling is performed using established environmental surface wipe protocols. Samples are submitted under documented chain-of-custody procedures and analyzed by certified laboratories.

Laboratory results are reported in standardized units (µg/100 cm² where applicable) and accompanied by written documentation suitable for:

  • Real estate records
  • Attorney review
  • Compliance documentation
  • Third-party evaluation

Maintaining separation between testing and remediation ensures objective, defensible results.

Independent Testing–Not Cleanup or Remediation

We do not perform remediation or cleanup. Our role is limited to independent testing and documentation, so the results are unbiased and suitable for legal, real estate, and compliance use.

What We Test For

Methamphetamine Residue Testing

Methamphetamine contamination can result from both manufacturing activity and chronic indoor use. Surface residues may persist on walls, ceilings, HVAC registers, cabinets, and other high-contact areas.

Samples are analyzed by certified laboratories and reported in micrograms per 100 square centimeters (µg/100 cm²).

Fentanyl Surface Testing

Fentanyl contamination has become an increasing concern in residential and rental properties due to heightened public awareness and health sensitivity.

While fentanyl exposure risk depends on multiple factors, property owners and buyers often request laboratory confirmation when prior drug activity is suspected. Surface wipe sampling can determine whether detectable fentanyl residue is present on high-contact interior surfaces.

Testing may be requested in situations such as:

  • Short-term rental guest concerns
  • Tenant turnover following suspected drug use
  • Properties with visible residue or paraphernalia
  • Homes where sensitive occupants (children or immunocompromised individuals) will reside
  • Legal or transaction-related disputes

All samples are analyzed by certified laboratories using established analytical methods. Results are reported clearly and objectively, allowing clients to determine appropriate next steps based on laboratory findings.

Our role is limited to independent testing and documentation.

Cocaine Residue Assessment

Cocaine residue contamination may occur in properties with heavy prior use, particularly short-term rental or turnover situations. Laboratory analysis confirms whether measurable contamination is present.

Drug Use vs Drug Manufacturing

Not all contaminated properties were “clandestine labs.”

We assess contamination resulting from:

  • Manufacturing activity
  • Chronic indoor smoking/use
  • Surface transfer from repeated exposure

Both scenarios may leave measurable residue detectable through laboratory surface sampling.

Does Florida Have a Meth Cleanup Standard?

Florida does not maintain a uniform statewide methamphetamine cleanup threshold or public registry comparable to some other states.

For context, certain jurisdictions (such as Washington State) reference 0.1 µg/100 cm² as a cleanup benchmark. However, Florida property owners must rely on independent environmental testing to assess contamination and determine appropriate next steps.

Our role is limited to testing and documentation — not remediation.

*Because Florida does not maintain a uniform statewide contamination registry, independent laboratory testing is often the only objective method available to assess potential contamination.

FAQ

How much does meth testing cost in Florida?

Pricing depends on property size and number of sampling locations. Most residential assessments begin around $1,850.

Can I cancel a real estate closing due to meth contamination?

Testing provides objective laboratory documentation that may be used in negotiations or disclosures. Legal decisions should be discussed with an attorney.

How long does meth residue remain in a home?

Residue may persist on interior surfaces until properly cleaned or remediated.

Is fentanyl residue dangerous in homes?

Testing confirms presence or absence of measurable residue so informed decisions can be made.

Do you provide court-admissible reports?

Yes. Laboratory analysis and written reports are suitable for third-party and legal review.

When Is Testing Recommended?

Controlled substance residue testing is commonly requested:

  • Prior to closing on a property
  • After tenant eviction or lease termination
  • Following suspected drug use or manufacturing activity
  • When buyers request independent contamination verification
  • When associations or neighbors raise concerns
