Micro Pipes
Locate
-
Micro pipes search for micro bacteria often found in freezer Condensate pipes, air conditioning units, outlet and overflow pipes.
We use some of the latest technology, CCTV cameras that can travel hundreds of meters and negotiate the tightest of twists and bends, enabling us to collect samples from almost anywhere.Pipe cleaning equipment ranges from micro bristle, and low pressure jetting for plastic pipes, to high pressure for gully and line cleaning.
Sample

We will create a report of pipe condition, and standing water.
Listing micro organisms, bacterial growth, and other potential problems within the pipes.

Finally cleaning and sterilizing the pipes, and safely disposing of contaminated waste.
Micro pipes
Here at Micro pipes we search for harmful levels of bacteria often found in hard to reach places.
We develop equipment and a strategy for the safe elimination of bacterial growth.
This is becoming a popular but complex job, in some cases it is necessary to collect a sample from the bacterial source, and then analyse it to determine if any further action is required.
Micro-organisms often called bacteria, are a health risk and are sometimes underestimated. Salmonella, E.coli, even legionnaires disease can be found in bacterial growths. This is why it is essential not to disturb until testing has been undertaken. In the past it has been common practice to clean these areas with high pressure water, this causes it to become airborn, dramatically increasing the health risk.
A stringent risk assessment of standing water is crucial, and should meet at least the minimum preparation for standing water removal .
We understand this at micro pipes, all equipment is sterilised, and we take great care to prevent cross contamination from pipe to pipe, and take care when dealing with contaminated waste.
We specialise on investigations with freezer condensate pipes, air conditioning units, over flow pipes, and specialised manufacturing processes.
All work is undertaken with each customer’s requirements in a personal and individual way.
We have found many ways of preventing the growth of bacteria, often in areas people do not appreciate that there is a problem.
By prevention, we are minimising the health risk, and often eradicating bad smells also associated. .
