Be Safe as Houses
​
Have you ever found yourself in a situation that seems beyond belief, a situation that becomes more of a nightmare with each passing day, one that you wish you could wake up from but find that it isn’t a dream, it is reality? This is a situation too many people are now finding themselves living in and it soon becomes a steep learning curve as they seek to find the help they need to deal with the situation.

​
Our Mission
It is our mission to help prevent people enduring the hardship and stress that some of us have been through as a result of Methamphetamine contamination of a property from the use of the drug ICE (Crystal Methamphetamine) by prior residents.
Very little is known in the community about this issue and we are determined to change that one story at a time.
​
We have attempted to create a site that also encompasses the issue of contamination from Smokehouses because so far the agencies that should be providing advice and knowledge on the subject prefer to speak of Clan Labs only.
The information on this site is provided free of charge.
What motivates us?
Too many people have their heads clearly embedded in the sand refusing to lift them up to see the issue for the enormity that it is and the devastation that it is.
This is a problem that is abuse on all levels:
​
It is Financial abuse because the crippling effect it can have on the financial situation of the innocent person exposed to contamination in a property is major.
​
It is Emotional abuse because when you discover the property is contaminated you are treated like you are worthless by the government, the real estate industry, law enforcement agencies and the insurance industry. This leads to severe emotional trauma.
​
It is Mental abuse because you will be undermined at every turn by agencies that do not want to face the issue and others that could help who refuse to.
​
It is Child abuse because when a child is left to live with 3rd hand exposure their whole life is affected. Their long-term health can be severely compromised.
​
It is Elder abuse because many times the elderly are left to languish in the contaminated property or are not given the help they need or the support they need and are often left homeless or in severe financial stress.
​
It is Physical abuse because it involves one person knowingly injuring the body of another person and can be inflicted on a person of any age. The injury being health problems that are little understood by a medical profession that is failing to understand the issue.
​
We took our heads out of the sand and began to see this issue from all angles and asked the question "How many types of abuse does it have to be before the government, real estate industry, medical profession and legal profession begin to act to safeguard public health?"
Sadly as one researcher said to us "It will take the death of a number of children before they take their heads out of the sand and see the reality of the situation".
We have been praised for stepping forward and speaking out about this and whilst some even think that we are stigmatising the users of ICE what our critics fail to see is that we are seeing this from every angle.
We see the anguish of the buyer and the landlord, now facing extensive remediation costs, the family agonising over having their children exposed to such toxic environments, land agents whose reputation is at stake and consequently their livelihood, the tenant who faces crippling expenses or lives in fear of being evicted, never being able to rent again or remains living in a poisoned environment.
We also see the government facing an avalanche of cases coming its way both in public housing and private rentals and struggling to know how to cope and we see the user, trapped in a nightmare of their own making but needing help and without that help will continue to poison many more homes leaving destruction and devastation in their wake.
​
What sets us apart is that we see all angles of this problem and this site is hopefully a way in which all victims of this nightmare can gain access to the information they need to secure their life and their future.
​
This site is also being brought to you at our own expense to enable it to be truly independent of any ulterior motives.
