What is Legionella?
Legionella is a naturally occurring bacteria that can grow in building water systems, particularly in warm, stagnant water. When contaminated water droplets become airborne and are inhaled, they can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious respiratory illness.
Why is Legionella testing essential?

Legionnaires’ disease, caused by inhaling Legionella bacteria, can lead to serious respiratory problems, including pneumonia. While not everyone exposed becomes ill, those at higher risk include:

  • Smokers
  • People over 50 years old
  • Individuals with chronic health conditions

Regular Legionella testing helps prevent outbreaks and protect the health of those in your building.

How does Legionella get in my water system?

Legionella bacteria can grow in warm, stagnant water environments. Common sources include:

  • Hot water tanks and heaters set at low temperatures
  • Cooling towers and misting systems
  • Plumbing fixtures that are rarely used
When will I get the results?

After collecting, we will carefully rush the sample over to an approved water testing laboratory to begin the analysis process. Typically, you can expect to receive your results within 2 weeks of sample collection.

What happens if Legionella is found in the water system?
If Legionella is detected, corrective actions may include system disinfection, thermal treatment, hyperchlorination, plumbing modifications, enhanced maintenance procedures, and follow-up testing to verify remediation effectiveness.
