Regular testing and cleaning of water systems prevents the growth of unwelcome bacteria and debris that can affect people’s health and wellbeing. Water is a critical component of any building, and it is necessary to provide clean and safe drinking water to the building’s users.
A variety of inspections keeps your water system up to standard, including legionella testing, descaling and pipe cleaning. These services should be carried out annually as a minimum, more so in higher risk environments or where excessive amounts of water is used.
Legionella is a bacteria that can cause potentially-fatal Pneumonia when inhaled. It can be found in man-made water stores between the temperatures 20-45 degrees Celsius, hence the need to test any water that is stored for human use.
Measures can be put into place to help control the risks of Legionella exposure, but regular testing is still needed to ensure the safety of the water. Controls such as flushing systems regularly, setting temperature controls and removing any redundant pipework reduces risks. We can help put these measures into place and maintain the safety of your water storage system.
As part of our mechanical and plumbing background, pipework repairs and new installations are something we are experts in. We see many plumbing issues where pipework have been poorly installed, are leaking, or are becoming blocked due to inconsiderate design.
Problems arise because of poor design, workmanship or due to neglect. Whether your system requires flushing, repair, rerouting, or pipework replacement, we can advise on the most cost efficient solution.
Some buildings have a higher obligation to treat water more frequently due to health concerns, e.g. hospitals or care homes, and therefore thorough testing and treatment is necessary on a regular basis to ensure the health risks are controlled suitably.
Cleaning and maintenance of water supplies will help reduce the likelihood of unwelcome debris, substances and bacteria. Depending on your needs and requirements, we can offer full water services, consisting of natural and chemical treatments to keep your water clean from harmful matter and keep your systems running effectively.
Drainage issues can cause major disruption to any site, especially when left undealt with. Blockages that built up over time can affect other plumbing systems and damage the system beyond repair.
Attention to your drainage is paramount in keeping your site clean, safe and pleasant for users, especially where building fabric is concerned. Keeping gutters clean, drainpipes clear and appropriately managing rainwater drainage will help keep your building’s external facilities functioning.
