Legionella Risk Assessments in Durham
Legionella bacteria is responsible for causing serious lung infections (Legionnaire’s disease) that could potentially be life threatening. But, the risk of being exposed to the legionella bacteria is reduced by having a Legionella Risk Assessment Durham.
Just between 2011 and 2013, 84 people in the England/Wales area died from Legionnaire’s disease. There is no legislation that requires you to show a certificate of the assessment’s results, but you are legally obligated to protect your tenants and any one who works on your property from this disease.
We perform a thorough assessment of the property including the water storage tanks and hot water tanks, searching for dead leg piping and corrosion. We also have tools to accurately measure the temperature of the water storage tank, hot water tanks, and the cold and hot water taps around the property. It’s important to check these areas because the bacteria can thrive in water temperature that is between 20-45°C and stagnant water.

Durham
Durham is a city with rich history, located on the River Wear. This settlement is believed to have existed well into the prehistoric times, but the evidence shows that this current city can be traced back to about 995 AD. This was when monks settled here. It was believed that this city was created by divine intervention at this time. The Industrial Revolution created a boom in the coal industry here, something that was a major part of this economy until the 1970s. While this industry is now defunct, there are still remnants of this that have become a part of the culture in Durham.
