Device Inventory Audits for Properties With Unclear Backflow Records
If you inherited a building — or a portfolio — without a reliable backflow device list, an inventory audit gives you a clean starting point before any testing or survey work.
You may have devices but no reliable list
Buildings change hands, contractors change, and records get scattered across old PDFs, mechanical-room binders, and former employees' inboxes. Meanwhile the municipality still expects every device tested on time. A device inventory audit rebuilds the record: we walk the accessible mechanical spaces, document every backflow prevention assembly we can access, photograph it, and organize the results into one list you can actually manage from.
What we collect
- Device type
- Manufacturer
- Model
- Serial number
- Size
- Location
- Photos
- Tag information
- Last known test date if available
- Municipality / reporting program
- Access constraints
- Renewal date
What you receive
- Consolidated device list
- Photo log
- Due-date summary
- Municipality-by-municipality status
- Recommended next step: test, retest, survey, or licensed-trade correction where required
Why this helps before annual testing or a survey
Quoting testing for "however many devices we find" leads to surprises for everyone. An inventory first means your annual testing quote is based on a real device count, your testing calendar covers every device, and a cross-connection survey can focus on gaps instead of rediscovering the basics.
The portfolio use case
For property managers, the audit scales across buildings: one consolidated list covering every property, every municipality, and every due date — the foundation for the renewal calendar and portfolio pricing. Start with your most uncertain buildings and expand from there. We also offer a no-charge device count from your latest reports to get started.
Scope note
A device inventory audit is factual documentation. It is not an engineering opinion, sealed report, protection adequacy assessment, or design recommendation.
