Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a drinking water system be tested for Legionella?

That depends on the type of system. The Drinking Water Regulation typically requires annual inspections of large commercial systems; for ships, the inspection interval depends on dry-docking schedules and operational patterns. We’ll work with you to determine the appropriate interval.

Smaller installations can often be completed in a few hours. Larger ship or building systems usually take one to two days, including sampling.

For the duration of the treatment, usually yes. We plan the process so that downtime is kept to a minimum and coordinate the timing with your operations.

We pinpoint the cause, disinfect the area, and confirm the effectiveness through follow-up testing at an accredited partner laboratory. If test results exceed reportable thresholds, we coordinate with the public health department.
