Legionella FAQ

I think there is Legionella in my facility. What should I do?

Contact Legionella Control Systems. We provide rapid testing and emergency Legionella remediation.

What does a positive Legionella test mean?

A positive test means that further analysis and possible remediation are needed. Water naturally has Legionella and other bacteria in it, and it is estimated that 20% to 70% of commercial buildings have some Legionella present. However, when water is stagnant, Legionella can colonize and reproduce, which can lead to serious problems. In the case of a positive test, you should contact Legionella Control Systems to discuss your situation with a Legionella expert and discuss next steps.
