Looks like Rodney’s our newest vendor.
Yes sir!
Interesting though… on their “About Us” page, of the 3 Inspectors listed, 2 of them have Nachi ID#'s that will never exist, at least if Nachi maintains their current coding system. http://www.methinspection.com/3.html
Yep… tough room here for vendors… welcome to iNachi !!! :twisted::D;)
Looked for them on InspectorSeek and found the two members that you thought their member numbers would not exist, however I could not find the first member they have listed on their site with a more traditional member number. He might be from another area from their location listed on their website though.
Current Nachi Coding: 103031301
10 = year 2010
30 = month 30
31 = day 31
301 = that days new member count
Most of the law enforcement officials that I have spoken to on this subject tell me that it is not the presence of meth that poses a danger to someone who comes across a “meth house”, but the presence of the various poisons used to manufacture it. They tell me that these chemicals can work their way deep into carpeting fibers and lay undiscovered for years until a toddler crawls across on his hands and knees, puts his hands in his mouth, and (croak)…whamo.
Is your device limited to detecting only the finished product? If so, wouldn’t anyone declaring a house “clear” (providing for a reasonable person to conclude that the house is declared safe) after using your device be leaving themselves open to a wrongful death lawsuit?
Being a 21 year veteran police officer and 10 year veteran home inspector, I feel that meth screening and testing is an important service to offer clients.
I agree that the precursors to manufacturing meth are hazardous to your health and can be found almost anywhere. It would be an extremely rare case to find a home grossly contaminated with only meth precursors and not have been used for manufacturing meth.
Meth-screening and testing does involve looking for evidence of existing visual precursors, but tests for meth residue only. Any home that has been used as for manufacturing methamphetamine will test positive for its presence. The residue from a meth lab has been proven and documented by the National Jewish Medical & Research Center to be toxic to health. Meth contaminated homes are a health hazard and I would definitely want to know if I was buying one.

The ID2 Meth Scanner testes down to 100 nanograms and full beam, which is within all state cleanup level requirments.
Thanks for the response.

Rodney,
Apologies if offended, but we get more than our share of undesireables on this forum, thinking we are “easy pickin’s”. We all have to look out for each other around here. When I noticed the ID#, I called it out. Glad to see that you are actually a member. Appearently, on your website, you placed the number 1 at the front of your ID number, thus the invalid coding.

Not offended…you should check out folks. I get sick of all the spam solicitations in my in box. Have a great one dude.
They should have been upfront with you. Tell them your’re not qualified. If not done right you putting yourself in danger and the next owner’s family in danger. This poision gets into every surface and can cause major health issues.
I looked extensively into meth lab testing. You should check your state laws and codes before diving in. If you are not registered or certified to perform the testing, then the results aren’t recognized and you can be penalized. The training in my state to test is the same as the training for removal, so it’s extensive and expensive.
