What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is City Water Quality Testing with Treatment Recommendations?
City water quality testing with treatment recommendations is an in-home service designed specifically for homes on municipal water, where we:
Test your water at the tap for key parameters often associated with city water, such as:
Hardness (how “hard” or mineral-heavy your water is)
Basic chlorine/disinfectant levels (often related to taste and odor)
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and other simple indicators where appropriateVisually inspect fixtures, shower doors, toilets, and appliances for scale, spotting, or staining
Review any existing treatment systems (softeners, whole-house filters, RO systems) to see if they’re aligned with your actual water conditions
Provide treatment recommendations that fit city water profiles, such as:
Water softeners or conditioners for hardness
Whole-house carbon filtration for chlorine and taste/odor
Under-sink filtration or RO for drinking and cooking water
This is focused on city water realities—high hardness, disinfectants, taste/odor—not on deep well water issues. For specialized contaminant testing, we may recommend additional lab-based testing.

Common Situations Where City Water Testing Makes Sense
City water quality testing with treatment recommendations is especially helpful when:
You’re on Las Vegas-area city water and noticing:
Spots or white film on fixtures and glass
Chalky buildup around faucets and showerheads
A chlorine smell or “pool-like” taste from the tapYou use a lot of soap, shampoo, or detergent, and things still don’t feel “clean.”
You’ve had repeated water heater or fixture issues and suspect hard water or chlorine might be contributing.
You’re thinking about installing a softener, conditioner, or whole-house filter, but don’t want to guess.
You already have treatment equipment and aren’t sure it’s sized or set up correctly for your city water.
You just moved into a home on city water and want to start with good information before investing in upgrades.
Initial Conversation & Home Tour
We start by asking about your biggest complaints and goals: better taste, less scale, protecting equipment, or all of the above. We take a quick look around key areas—kitchen, bathrooms, mechanical room—to see real-world signs of city water issues.
On-Site City Water Testing
We perform basic field tests at one or more taps, often including:
Hardness testing (grains per gallon / ppm)
Basic chlorine or disinfectant checks
TDS readings where appropriate
If you have existing treatment, we may test before and after it to see what it’s actually doing.
Fixture, Appliance & Equipment Check
We look at:
Faucets, showerheads, and shower glass for scale buildup
Toilets and sinks for staining or deposits
Water heater and visible piping, watching for signs of scale or corrosion
Any softeners, conditioners, filters, or RO systems already in place
Plain-Language Explanation of Results
We connect your test results to what you’re seeing and feeling:
Why you have spots and scale
Why water might smell or taste like chlorine
How hardness and chlorine can affect fixtures, water heaters, and appliances
You’ll come away knowing what your city water really looks like at the tap.
Treatment Recommendations & Options
We connect your test results to what you’re seeing and feeling:
Why you have spots and scale
Why water might smell or taste like chlorine
How hardness and chlorine can affect fixtures, water heaters, and appliances
You’ll come away knowing what your city water really looks like at the tap.
Estimates & Next Steps (If You Choose)
If you’re interested in moving forward, we’ll provide clear, itemized estimates. If you’d rather wait or think about it, you still have your test results and our explanations to use in future decisions.
What’s Included
A typical city water quality testing with treatment recommendations visit may include:
Basic on-site testing for hardness, chlorine/disinfectant, and TDS
Visual inspection of fixtures, shower glass, toilets, and visible piping for signs of scale or staining
A quick review of existing treatment equipment and how it lines up with your water conditions
A plain-language explanation of your water quality at the tap
Treatment recommendations tailored to city water—softeners, conditioners, filters, and/or RO
Optional estimates for treatment systems, upgrades, or service, if requested
(Exact scope can be adjusted based on home size, existing equipment, and what you’re trying to solve.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
The basic city water testing and recommendation visit is typically low-cost or may be bundled with other service—details provided when you schedule.
If you request additional diagnostics, advanced testing, or equipment service beyond the standard scope, we’ll explain any associated charges before you approve anything.
If you decide to move forward with treatment installation or upgrades, you’ll receive a transparent, itemized estimate that outlines:
Which equipment we recommend
Installation costs
Any ongoing filter or salt/maintenance considerations
We’ll also outline a reasonable timeline for testing, discussion, and any follow-up work you choose.
Insurance & Claims Help
Good city water treatment can help protect fixtures, appliances, and water heaters over time. While water testing itself isn’t an insurance product, if you proceed with treatment or related plumbing work:
We can provide invoices and basic notes about testing and water conditions we observed.
If a future issue leads to an equipment warranty or insurance question, documentation showing water quality and maintenance can be helpful.
Your insurer or warranty provider decides coverage; our role is to provide clear, professional records of what we tested, found, and installed.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
City water quality testing with treatment recommendations is a strong first step, but:
It focuses on common city water issues (hardness, chlorine, taste/odor, etc.), not on testing for every possible contaminant.
If you have concerns about specific health-related contaminants (like lead, PFAS, nitrates, etc.), we may recommend additional lab-based testing.
Testing can’t reverse existing scale or corrosion—it explains why it happened and guides how to prevent more.
Results represent your water at the time of testing; if the city supply, plumbing, or treatment equipment changes, follow-up testing may make sense.
We’ll be clear about what our testing does and doesn’t cover, and when extra testing is the right move.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Appropriate field testing tools: We use reliable basic tests suitable for municipal water checks.
Licensed plumbing professionals: Results and recommendations come from licensed Nevada plumbers, not just a test kit.
City-water-focused recommendations: We choose treatments that address local hardness and chlorine realities, not generic “one-size-fits-all” solutions.
Equipment-aware advice: We factor in water heaters, fixtures, appliances, and any existing softeners/filters when we make recommendations.
Clear communication & cleanup: We explain findings in plain language and leave test areas clean and orderly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is city water testing different from basic testing?
City water testing focuses specifically on municipal water issues—hardness, chlorine, taste/odor, and how they interact with Las Vegas-area supplies. It’s tailored to homes on city water, not wells.
Do you test for every possible contaminant?
No. We test for common city water parameters and visually assess how they affect your home. If you have concerns about specific contaminants, we’ll discuss more advanced lab testing options.

Yes. One of the main benefits of this service is that we guide you through softeners, conditioners, carbon filters, and RO systems, explaining what each one does for city water and which combo fits your goals.
What if I already have a softener?
We can test water before and after your softener and any filters, then tell you whether they’re working as expected or might need adjustment, repair, or replacement.
