A father and his family who suffered debilitating headaches had a shocking discovery after finding out their home was a meth lab.

Jonathon, a father from Melbourne who asked to remain anonymous, revealed he would take medication for his constant headaches but felt no relief.

‘Every morning I’d get this headache, I took so much Panadol and I just had trouble throwing it off,’ he told Seven News.

It was only when his children got sick that he decided to get the rental house checked for methamphetamine. 

‘My 13-year-old daughter’s bedroom was 80 times the safe level.’ 

The epidemic is causing problems for future tenants as drug groups leave traces of meth and other drugs behind. 

Houses which are discovered to be contaminated the most would usually need to be ‘stripped back to the frame.

Josh Marsden tests and cleans house of drugs and said there has been an increase in work in recent years.

‘There have been properties 15,000 to 20,000 times over the safe level,’ he told Seven News. 

There are now calls for a property register where people are able to check when and if the property they’re looking at renting or buying has been tested for drugs. 

Victoria Police Senior Sergeant Nick Allwood revealed that they have raided properties where there were ‘two and three tonnes of waste’.
