Drug residue can be found virtually anywhere, even in the most unexpected of places. Drug residue testing is a process that detects drugs or their metabolites on objects or surfaces—even if they are invisible to the naked eye.

It's important for homeowners and commercial property owners alike to know where drug residues may be hiding out so that they can protect themselves from potential contamination risks. Reed Environmental offers these services to residential and commercial clients in San Jose, CA and the surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is drug residue?

Drug residue can be defined as a substance left behind after the ingestion, inhalation, or absorption of a controlled substance. Drug residues are often transferred to an object through direct contact with someone who has ingested drugs and may even remain present in the air after being used by those taking part in illegal activities such as smoking methamphetamines. In fact, it's not unheard of for drug residues to end up on your property from poor ventilation at nearby properties that have been used for these purposes. Drug residue testing is designed to detect exposure risk contamination from this sort of activity—which many insurance companies require before they'll ensure a home or other commercial building against damage caused by flammable chemicals.

Why is drug residue testing important?

Drug residues can be found anywhere—including your home or commercial property. Exposure to drug residue may carry risks such as respiratory problems, poor indoor air quality, and even explosions if flammable chemicals are present during the manufacturing process.

It's critical for homeowners and commercial building owners alike to conduct testing on their properties in order to determine whether they have been exposed to potentially harmful substances that might cause them physical harm over time.

Where can drug residue hide?

Drug residues can be found virtually anywhere, even in places you wouldn't expect. These may include:

• Floors and other surfaces where someone has either smoked or inhaled a substance such as methamphetamines.

• Rugs, carpets, and upholstery may also contain traces of drug residue if they've been used for smoking these substances inside the home or business.

• Furniture that is made from materials that have been treated with chemicals to protect them against dirt and moisture are often tainted with drug residue once it's consumed by those taking part in illegal activities at your property.
