When Is Water Hygiene Maintenance Needed?

Water hygiene services are essential when there is a risk of bacterial growth in water systems. Such risks often arise in older buildings with outdated plumbing systems that can harbour pathogens like Legionella.

They are also common after construction projects, as sediment and debris can disrupt water flow and stagnation. Changes in water usage patterns, such as decreased occupancy in buildings or seasonal shutdowns, further contribute to the potential for contamination.

Regular maintenance includes testing for bacteria and other contaminants. We use industry-standard methods like Legionella Risk Assessments and employ certified technicians to address potential hazards.

Proper dosing with biocides and performing system chlorination can effectively control microbial growth. By following guidelines from organisations such as the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the British Standards Institution (BSI), we ensure water systems remain safe and compliant.

Regular checks and cleaning help prevent issues before they become serious. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

How Does Water Hygiene Specialists Work?

To ensure quality service, our process includes a series of well-defined steps designed to maintain water hygiene effectively.

1. Assessment: Identifying specific needs and potential risks by conducting a thorough audit of the water system. This may involve reviewing building plans and historical usage data to understand the unique challenges present.
   
2. Testing: Conducting water quality tests to identify concerns. We use microbiological testing and chemical analysis to ensure compliance with standards such as those set by the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI). This step helps in detecting bacteria like Legionella and hazardous substances.
   
3. Implementation: Executing cleaning and maintenance based on findings. We use specialised methods like chlorination or ultraviolet (UV) treatment to eliminate contaminants.
   
4. Monitoring: Establishing ongoing checks to maintain hygiene levels using automated data logging systems that track key water parameters in real time, enabling us to respond quickly to any irregularities.
   

Our process ensures that our clients’ water systems remain safe and compliant. Contact us today to learn more about our services.
