Field assessments that build useful system records.
PFS can help a water system document hydrant condition, location, inspection history, requested testing, deficiencies, priorities, photographs, and follow up status under a clearly defined assessment scope.
System Assessments
Hydrant inventories and field observations organized around the questions, priorities, and decisions identified by the water system.
Testing and Field Programs
Flow testing, annual inspections, flushing support, and pressure observations can be included when authorized in the agreed scope.
Dashboard and Asset Records
Reviewed records can be organized by hydrant so authorized users can find photographs, findings, flow history, reports, and dated updates.
Scannable Asset Tags
Scalable hydrant identification tags connect water personnel in the field to each asset's live authorized record and current inspection updates.
Start with the system and the decisions it needs to support.
Discuss your system Before quoting an assessment, PFS confirms hydrant count, available records, field scope, reporting needs, schedule, and required deliverables.
CERTIFIED COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL TESTING
Complete backflow testing and documentation.
PFS provides certified testing, handles the required documentation, explains failed results and retesting requirements, and sends annual reminders for commercial and residential properties.
SIMPLE FROM THE FIRST CALL
Three steps. No guesswork.
Share the service need
Email the location, available plans or records, deadline, and what the field work needs to support. One message starts the process.
Confirm the scope
For flow testing, we check city or county witness, verification, permit, and fee requirements, then confirm scope, approvals, access, and scheduling with you.
Receive organized results
For flow tests, we target results within 5–8 business days after client approval and required local authorization, subject to witness, permit, and site availability. Other services follow the confirmed scope and schedule.
DETAILED DOCUMENTATION FOR EVERY SERVICE
Clear records built around the work performed.
Every Pavey Flow Solutions service includes organized documentation appropriate to that scope. Flow testing, backflow testing, pressure recording, inspections, and system assessments each receive the records needed to communicate the field work, results, locations, observations, and follow up information.
Flow Testing
Measured pressures, calculated discharge, available flow at 20 PSI, water supply curves, hydrant locations, photographs, and test details.
Backflow Testing
Assembly identification, certified test results, failed result and retest details when applicable, and required documentation completed and handled by PFS.
Pressure Recording
The recorded pressure history, observation period, location, notable high and low periods, and known field limitations.
System Assessments
Hydrant asset records can include identifiers, locations, photographs, condition findings, requested testing, priorities, reports, and dated history. Dashboard or tag access is included only when agreed in the final scope.
FLOW TESTING, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
Five terms worth knowing.
Static Pressure
The water system pressure measured before the test hydrant is flowing.
Residual Pressure
The pressure remaining in the system while water is being discharged from the flow hydrant.
Pitot Pressure
The velocity pressure measured at the flowing outlet and used with outlet size and coefficient to calculate discharge.
Flowing GPM
The calculated volume of water discharged from the hydrant, expressed in gallons per minute.
Available Flow at 20 PSI
A calculated projection of the water supply available when the residual pressure reaches 20 PSI; it is not a directly measured field reading.
