When an Incident Starts

1. Isolate the source at local/zone/house shutoffs; avoid power near water.

2. Protect controlled spaces: maintain directional airflow where specified; close doors to sensitive areas.

3. Document start time, affected rooms/equipment, and any exposures/spills per your SOPs.

4. Call (949) 209-5206 to dispatch White Glove Plumbing and share badging/escort and PPE requirements.

5. If wastewater is contaminated or regulated, follow your EHS spill protocol first; we’ll coordinate downstream.

   
   

Why Fast Action Matters

• Mold growth risk begins ~24–48 hours after wetting in typical building materials—early drying reduces rework and keeps ancillary rooms available.

• Water incidents escalate costs quickly (demolition, odor/IAQ controls, schedule slippage, validation repeats).

• Events are not rare (water claims are common nationally)—a standing plan and vendor stabilize uptime.

For lab uptime: Rapid stop-loss + surgical access = fewer openings in clean-adjacent areas, less revalidation, and faster return to routine operations.

Lab-Focused Services

Emergency Plumbing (24/7)

Stop leaks, clear backups, and make-safe corridors, labs, and equipment rooms while preserving access to critical spaces (tissue culture, analytical, cold rooms).

Precision Leak Detection & Targeted Access

Electronic acoustic/thermal locating, tracer techniques, and moisture mapping to pinpoint sources. Surgical openings with dust control, negative air, and HEPA where specified.

DI/RO & Process Water Tie-Ins (Facility-Side)

Facility-side tie-ins, isolation valves, loop additions, recirc considerations, and commissioning checks for flow/pressure. (We coordinate with your water system vendor as required.)

Eyewash & Emergency Shower Service

Flow/temperature checks, valve/service repairs, drain confirmation, and documentation for EHS records.

Acid-Resistant Drainage & Neutralization

Acid-resistant piping, neutralization tank service/replace, pH monitoring tie-ins (where specified), and camera inspections of laterals with PDF/video.

Backflow Prevention & PRV

Backflow testing/certification, RPZ replacement, PRV assessment, and valve audits/tagging so isolation works when needed.

Sewer, Hydro-Jetting & Camera Verification

Rooter or hydro-jetting for mains and branch issues; sewer camera with sharable links for maintenance logs and capex planning.

Water Damage Mitigation & Drying (Controlled)

Rapid extraction, disinfection, structural drying with HEPA air filtration and particle-aware containment; daily moisture logs suitable for QA/EHS files.

Mold Remediation (Non-Research Materials)

Clean containment, negative air, selective removal, antimicrobial treatment, and guidance on post-remediation verification when required.

Make-Safe & Reconstruction

Drywall/ceiling/paint, lab-grade flooring/base, millwork repair, and sealants—finish neatly to facility standards with minimal downtime.

Programs & Playbooks for Labs

• Quarterly/Annual Jetting Plans for problem mains and branch lines

• Camera Baselines with sharable video + prioritized repairs for budgeting

• Valve/Isolation Map & Tagging for rapid response

• Backflow Testing Calendar with reminders and certification records

• Preferred Vendor Setup (W-9/COI on file, AP-friendly billing by site/PO)

Security, Compliance & Access

• Badging & Escorts: crews comply with sign-in, escorts, and restricted-zone rules; unmarked vehicles available on request.

• Safety & PPE: OSHA-aware practices; lab PPE as directed by EHS (eye/hand protection, lab coats, respirators where required).

• Documentation Standard: photos, moisture readings, scope, and invoice summaries suitable for QA/EHS and procurement files.

• Chain-of-Custody (Water Tests): chain-of-custody handling for potable/process water samples when requested.

Our 5-Step Process

1. Rapid Assessment — Non-invasive locating (acoustic, thermal, moisture mapping) and immediate stop-loss.

2. Mitigation & Drying — Extraction, disinfection, structural drying with daily readings and HEPA as needed.

3. Targeted Repairs — Isolation, pipe sections, fixture replacements, jetting/clearing, pressure corrections.

4. Remediation — Clean containment, selective removals, odor control; safe reopening of corridors/work areas.

5. Reconstruction — Drywall/paint/ceilings, lab finishes, trim—finished to facility standards and schedules.
