London's No.1 ATP Testing After Flooding Specialists
Crown Preservation carries out ATP surface testing following flooding, sewage leaks and water damage. It checks for biological residues, such as bacteria, to assess the effectiveness of cleaning.
A surface may look clean once floodwater has been removed, but its appearance alone cannot confirm that biological residues have been adequately cleaned away.
ATP testing for cleanliness provides an additional, measurable check to support the restoration process.
ATP Meaning: What Is Adenosine Triphosphate?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a substance found in living cells, including bacteria and other biological material.
The presence of ATP suggests that biological residues remain after cleaning.
These can feed harmful bacteria, helping them to multiply and form a protective shield (biofilm) that lets pathogens hide from sanitisers or disinfectants.
What Is ATP Testing?
Using specialist swabs and an electronic ATP meter, we test selected surfaces.
The results provide a very quick indication of residual organic contamination to identify areas that need further cleaning.
ATP testing is a cleaning verification tool. It does not identify individual bacteria, detect viruses or provide a bacterial count.
Our ATP Testing Services In London
As specialists in damp proofing London properties, our ATP testing service can support investigations and cleaning checks following:
- Flooding affecting homes, basements and commercial premises
- Sewage backflow and foul-water leaks
- Escapes of water where biological contamination is suspected
- Cleaning work following a flood or contamination incident
We assess the affected area and select suitable, accessible surfaces for sampling. Specialist swabs collect material from each test location, which we then analyse using an ATP meter.
Where results indicate that further cleaning is needed, those areas can be cleaned again and retested. Where specific bacteria, sewage contamination or other health concerns require further investigation, targeted laboratory testing may be necessary.
