rAPID RESPONSE Legionella testing, TREATMENT, & Remediation

What Is Legionella?

Legionella is a waterborne pathogen that spreads through mist, such as from air-conditioning units in large buildings. People who come in contact with the bacteria could develop a serious type of pneumonia called Legionnaires' disease.

Legionella and other waterborne pathogens should be a top concern for any business owner.

Testing is easy, but failing to implement can be an expensive & sometimes fatal mistake. If you have never considered a Legionella strategy, there’s no better time to start than right now.

The Dangers Of Legionnaires Disease

About 1 out of every 10 people who get sick with Legionnaires' disease will die due to complications from their illness.

Breathing or ingesting Legionella-contaminated water can result in Legionnaires' disease, a potentially fatal form of pneumonia. The most common source of infection is water suspended in the air, such as spray from showers and faucets

Hiding In Plain Sight

Legionella bacteria is found mainly in stagnant water, but most commonly in places like cooling towers, evaporation condensers, air conditioning and industrial cooling systems, humidifiers, spa baths and hot/cold water systems.

Some workplaces are at a higher-risk for Legionella exposure, particularly those with residential accommodations (both private and commercial).

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Government Facilities

  • Universities

  • Hospitals

  • Nursing and Care Homes

  • Housing Associations

  • Hotels & Hostels

  • Private Landlords

  • Managing Agents

  • Camping & Caravan Sites

Preventing Legionella

Testing for Legionella should be a priority for any business owner because it is completely manageable and failing to do so can be a fatal mistake. If you have never considered a Legionella strategy because bacteria have never been a problem, there is no better time to start than right now.
