Legionella is a type of bacteria that thrives in water systems such as cooling towers, decorative fountains, ponds, wells, hot tubs, air conditioner ducts and more. It is responsible for causing two types of illnesses: Pontiac fever – a flu-like illness – and Legionnaires’ disease – an acute form of pneumonia or lung infection that is sometimes fatal.

To prevent and control Legionnaires’ disease risk, it’s a legal requirement to have a Legionella risk assessment of all water systems found in workplace premises and buildings undertaken. Howlett Associates, a leading Legionella risk assessment and Legionella treatment Surrey service provider, offers comprehensive Legionella risk assessments with the latest state-of-the-art sampling techniques and procedures as well as Legionella treatment, steam boiler water treatment, cooling tower water treatment, water risk assessment, water hygiene, water softener and chemical cleaning of water systems.
