Valve
Automate municipal compliance filings and recurring commercial testing revenue
Commercial backflow testing contractors lose over 12 hours every week wrestling with fragmented municipal PDF portals, manual test gauge transcriptions, and paper-based annual recertification notices.
Valve provides a purpose-built field operating system that connects directly to digital pressure gauges via Bluetooth, automatically populates cross-connection survey reports, and auto-submits certified compliance manifests to municipal water authorities in 1 click. By automating state-mandated annual recertification reminders and customer dispatch, testing contractors capture 35% more recurring inspections without adding administrative staff. The platform streamlines invoicing, track gauge calibration dates, and manages customer property portfolios with zero manual data entry.
Valve transforms mandatory municipal water safety into an automated, high-margin recurring revenue engine for 45k+ commercial plumbing and backflow enterprises.
- When I complete a commercial backflow prevention test in the field, I want to submit certified results immediately to the local water district, but I am forced to manually re-type gauge values across dozens of unique municipal portals, losing over $15k annually in unpaid technician administrative hours.
