System inspection
We go through the filtration layers one by one and report what we found: what's missing, what has to be removed and what has to be replaced.

A filtration system doesn't fail all at once. The media saturates, the layers thin out, and one day the water leaving the property isn't what it should be. We go through the system, tell you exactly what has to come out and what has to go back in, and keep it on a schedule.
Everything marked in amber is waiting on information from you. There is not one invented phone number, certificate or client name on this page — that is deliberate. Send the details over and they drop straight in.
Before anyone signs a maintenance contract they want to see three things: that you're certified, that you're insured, and that you've been doing this for years. Right now none of that is anywhere they can find it.
In California, treatment plant operators are certified by the State Water Resources Control Board. If you hold a grade, it's the strongest thing this page can carry.
Grade and certificate numberHow long you've been maintaining these systems. A number here does more work than a paragraph anywhere else.
How many yearsFor most facilities this is a hard requirement before they let anyone on site to work.
Coverage and carrierCertifications from the makers of the equipment you service. The person who bought that equipment cares about this.
Which brandsNo jargon. This is the work on site.

Filter beds are built in layers — sand, anthracite, gravel, activated carbon — and they saturate over time. The spent material comes out and new material goes in.
Which media do you work with?Regular visits so the system keeps treating water the way it's meant to, instead of getting looked at only after something has already failed.
How often do you visit a site?Big Sur, Mountain View and Milpitas are nowhere near each other. Running several sites at once is part of the job, not the exception.
If you do something these four cards don't cover, say so and it gets a card of its own.
The strongest thing you can say to a new client is “I maintain these plants, and here's where they are.” A map says it faster than a paragraph.

Monterey County coastline. Properties down here are a long way from any municipal sewer line, so each one treats its own water.

Type of site and what you didClient names are left off on purpose. In this line of work confidentiality clauses are common, so nobody gets named until you say it's fine.
This is the shape every project takes on the finished site. The words are yours — we just need you to walk us through one job in order.
What was wrong when you got there. One or two sentences, the way you'd explain it to the manager.
Your project — what you foundThe work, in the order you did it. This is where the craft shows.
Your project — the workWhat the system does now that it didn't before. No promises — this describes the work, it doesn't guarantee an outcome.
Your project — the resultDo you have your own photos of a job? They go right here. Stock photos of plants that aren't yours don't go on this site — that's exactly where it shows.
A facilities manager with a problem doesn't fill out a form. They call. On the finished site this number is a button — one tap and your phone rings.
