Real-Time Control for Backflow Operations

Running backflow testing & certification means handling customer notices, device inventories, site access, test kit assignments, test execution (check valves/relief valves), repairs/retests, form submission to water authorities, and renewal reminders — across commercial, multi-family, and municipal accounts with strict compliance windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s on-site, which assemblies (RPZ, DC, PVB, SVB) are in scope, what parts are issued, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Backflow Testing & Certification — clear statuses, precise assignments, and clean handoffs between office, technicians, and water purveyors.
