Legionella Disinfection Services & Water Management Plans for Businesses in St. Petersburg, FL

Legionella is becoming an increasing concern—especially among commercial property owners and managers in St. Petersburg, Florida, whose buildings house at-risk populations. As a waterborne pathogen, Legionella primarily spreads through potable water systems, which is why having a proper water safety plan is essential. However, if your building has elevated levels of Legionella, disinfection is the first step.

Legionella Testing & Disinfection

There are a variety of ways in which Legionella can enter a commercial or industrial building. For example, cooling towers that use evaporative cooling are open the atmosphere and can allow microorganisms to enter. Additionally, buildings that have been left vacant due to COVID-19 are at elevated risk, as Legionella may have been allowed to proliferate unimpeded.

To determine the right Legionella disinfection and remediation strategy for your building, R2J will start with testing. We’ve partnered with CDC-Elite certified labs, which allows us to assess Legionella levels quickly and accurately. From there, we will introduce disinfectant, fully flush your water systems, and conduct follow-up tests to ensure the process was effective.

Water Management Plans

The best way to prevent Legionella from taking hold in your facility is to have R2J implement an ongoing water management plan. We use a cloud-based software solution—the Legionella Assessment and Management Plan Support (LAMPS®)—to actively monitor and manage the risk of contamination. What’s more, we can implement ongoing treatment using the SANIKILL monochloramine disinfection system
