Disinfection plays a critical role in new construction ensuring the safety and health of projects. By thoroughly disinfecting surfaces, testing and disinfecting water systems, and maintaining proper ventilation and humidity levels, builders can protect workers and occupants from potential exposure to harmful microorganisms. This proactive approach not only prevents the spread of diseases but also inhibits the growth of mold and other fungi, which can thrive in the damp, humid conditions typical of new construction environments.
At ChemREADY, we offer a comprehensive range of disinfection products and services tailored to meet the unique needs of your construction project. Whether you need guidance on selecting the right product or assistance with implementing a disinfection plan, we are here to help.

Disinfection is the process of killing or inactivating harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is a vital step in new construction projects for several reasons:
Legionella is a dangerous bacteria that can cause legionellosis, a severe respiratory illness. This bacteria often proliferates in warm, stagnant water, typically found in cooling towers, hot water tanks, and plumbing systems. Effective Legionella remediation involves the removal and inactivation of the bacteria from water systems through disinfection.
Methods of Legionella Disinfection:
The choice of the most effective disinfection method depends on factors such as the size and complexity of the water system, the level of contamination, and the project budget.
To ensure that new construction projects are free from harmful microorganisms, a variety of disinfection strategies should be implemented:
By taking these precautions, builders can help ensure that their new construction projects are safe and healthy environments for everyone who uses them.
Disinfection is crucial in new construction to protect workers and occupants from harmful microorganisms. It helps prevent the spread of diseases, control the growth of mold, and maintain a safe environment.
Legionella disinfection can be achieved through chemical methods (using chlorine or ozone), physical methods (such as heat treatment or UV radiation), and biological methods (using predatory bacteria). The best method depends on the specific water system and contamination level.
Mold growth can be prevented by maintaining proper ventilation and humidity levels, regularly disinfecting surfaces, and implementing a routine cleaning and maintenance program.
A comprehensive disinfection strategy helps protect against disease, prevent the spread of harmful microorganisms, control mold growth, and ensure a safe environment for workers and future occupants.
Builders should choose a disinfectant that is EPA-registered and effective against a wide range of microorganisms. It’s also important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe and effective use.
