New Plumbing Disinfection Service

Disinfection Requirements for Healthcare Facility Plumbing

Before any new water system goes live, it must be properly flushed, disinfected, and tested. Pipes and fixtures collect contaminants during manufacturing, storage, and installation that flushing alone cannot remove. Without professional disinfection, your facility risks introducing harmful bacteria including Legionella into a brand new system from day one.

Health inspectors and regulatory bodies require documented proof of proper disinfection before approving new water systems for use. IWM ensures your facility meets those requirements and opens with confidence.

🔹 Eliminates Contaminants – Pipes and fixtures can collect dirt, stagnant water, and harmful bacteria during storage, transportation, and installation.
🔹 Reduces Legionella Risk – Flushing alone is often not enough to eliminate Legionella and other pathogens. Proper disinfection is critical to water safety and compliance.
🔹 Prepares Systems for Safe Use – Ensures that new plumbing is free from harmful microorganisms before being placed into service.
