What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Complete Residential Water Quality Testing?
Complete residential water quality testing is a deeper evaluation of your home’s water, going beyond simple hardness or chlorine checks. Depending on your situation, it may include a combination of:
On-site field tests for hardness, iron, pH, chlorine, TDS, and other basic parameters
Targeted lab testing for additional indicators and contaminants where appropriate
Sampling at multiple locations, such as kitchen taps, bathroom taps, and sometimes water before and after treatment equipment
Visual inspection of plumbing fixtures, toilets, shower doors, and appliances for staining, scale, or corrosion
Review of existing treatment equipment to see whether it’s aligned with your actual water conditions
The result is a big-picture view of your home’s water and how it interacts with your plumbing, fixtures, appliances, and family needs.
Note: This service is tailored. For certain specific health-related contaminants, we may recommend or coordinate additional certified lab testing beyond standard in-home evaluations.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Whole-home plumbing perspective: We understand how water quality affects pipes, fixtures, appliances, and treatment equipment—not just a lab number on a page.
Las Vegas-area experience: We work with local municipal water and treatment systems every day and know common hardness, chlorine, and mineral patterns in the area.
Appropriate testing levels: We help you choose between basic in-home tests, expanded field testing, and certified lab analysis, depending on your goals.
Interpreted by licensed pros: Results are explained by licensed Nevada plumbers who can translate water data into real-world recommendations.
Treatment planning included: If you want solutions, we can connect test results directly to softeners, filtration, conditioning, or system upgrades that fit your needs.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Make a list of your main concerns: taste, odor, staining, discoloration, scale, health concerns, or past water issues.
Note any symptoms you’ve noticed in the home: rust-colored stains, blue/green stains, sulfur smell, cloudy water, or frequent filter clogs.
Gather information on existing water treatment equipment (softeners, RO systems, whole-house filters, UV systems) and when they were installed or last serviced.
Think about who uses the water most (kids, elderly family, pets, anyone with health sensitivities) and what you’d like to protect.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about complete residential water quality testing; we’ll discuss your concerns and schedule a visit to design the right testing scope for your home.
Common Situations Where Complete Testing Makes Sense
You’ve had ongoing water issues that basic tests haven’t fully explained.
You see stains or discoloration—rusty, reddish, brown, black, or blue/green deposits.
Water has a persistent odor (sulfur/“rotten egg,” musty, metallic, or chemical).
A family member has health concerns or sensitivities and you want a more thorough look at the water.
You’re considering making a significant investment in treatment equipment (whole-house filtration, specialty filters, softeners, conditioners, RO systems) and want testing first.
You’ve purchased a home with older plumbing or existing treatment systems and want to know what’s really happening with the water now.
You’re on a well or non-standard supply and need a broader view of your water quality.
Consultation & Home Review
We begin by discussing your concerns, symptoms, and goals. We tour key areas—kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, mechanical room—to note visible signs of water issues and any existing equipment.
Testing Plan & Scope Selection
Based on your home and concerns, we recommend an appropriate testing scope, which may include:
Expanded in-home testing (hardness, iron, pH, chlorine, TDS, etc.)
Sampling for outside lab analysis when needed
Testing before and after existing treatment systems to see how well they’re working
Sample Collection & On-Site Testing
We collect water samples at key points (often kitchen sink, primary bathroom, and pre-treatment when accessible). We perform field tests on-site for certain parameters and properly collect/prepare samples for any lab-based testing that’s part of your plan.
Lab Processing & Data Review (If Applicable)
For lab-based components, samples are processed using appropriate testing methods. We then review the results alongside our field observations, focusing on what matters most for your home and family.
Findings & Explanation in Plain Language
For lab-based components, samples are processed using appropriate testing methods. We then review the results alongside our field observations, focusing on what matters most for your home and family.
Recommendations & Written Summary
We provide practical recommendations, which might range from:
Maintenance or filter changes only
Adjusting existing equipment
Adding whole-house or point-of-use treatment
Considering additional specialty testing for certain concerns
We can also provide a written summary or estimate for any treatment options you’d like priced.
What’s Included
A typical complete residential water quality testing package may include:
Initial consultation and home review focused on your concerns and existing equipment
On-site testing for a set of core water quality parameters (such as hardness, iron, pH, chlorine, TDS, etc.)
Targeted sampling at multiple locations within the home
Lab-based analysis for additional parameters when appropriate to your situation
A clear explanation of results and how they affect your home, fixtures, and equipment
Treatment recommendations and options, including optional written estimates for upgrades or changes
(Exact testing parameters and methods are tailored to your goals, water source, and budget. Not every home needs every possible test.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Pricing and timing for complete residential water quality testing depend on:
How extensive the testing is: Basic expanded testing vs testing plus certified lab panels.
Number of sampling locations: One or two key taps vs multiple points before/after treatment and in different parts of the home.
Water source: Municipal supply vs well or special source with additional recommended checks.
Follow-up needs: Whether you also want treatment design, equipment installation, or service as part of the same project.
We’ll provide a clear, upfront estimate that explains:
Which tests and parameters are included
Where we’ll sample and how results will be delivered
Estimated timeline for any lab-based results and follow-up discussion
Any optional add-ons you’re considering (e.g., extra testing, system design, or equipment quotes)
Insurance & Claims Help
While water testing itself isn’t an insurance product, clear documentation of your water quality can be helpful when:
Evaluating equipment warranties for water heaters or treatment systems
Addressing plumbing issues that might be related to corrosion, scaling, or poor water quality
Making decisions about repairs, upgrades, or home purchases
We can provide:
Service records and invoices showing what was tested and when
Basic explanations you can share with other professionals, property managers, or homebuyers
Follow-up testing plans if your water source or equipment changes
Your insurer or warranty provider always decides coverage; our role is to provide clear, professional water and plumbing documentation.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Complete residential water quality testing is a strong, thorough step, but it’s important to understand:
No single test can screen for every possible contaminant—testing must be targeted and appropriate.
Some health-related concerns require very specific, certified laboratory testing that goes beyond common field parameters.
Testing can’t repair existing damage to pipes, appliances, or fixtures—it can only help explain and prevent future problems.
Results represent your water at the time of testing; changes in source water, treatment, or plumbing may require periodic retesting.
We’ll be upfront about what’s included, what isn’t, and when it makes sense to add or repeat testing based on your situation.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Appropriate sampling practices: We collect samples in a way that’s consistent with the type of tests being performed.
Calibrated field testing tools: On-site tests are done with reliable equipment and techniques.
Professional interpretation: Results are reviewed and explained by licensed Nevada plumbers familiar with both water quality and local plumbing systems.
Treatment-minded approach: We always look at how results translate into real-world solutions—from small tweaks to full treatment systems.
Clear documentation: We strive to provide organized, understandable results and notes, not just a stack of numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is complete testing different from a basic water test?
Basic tests typically look at just a few parameters (like hardness and chlorine). Complete testing goes further—using additional on-site tests, multiple sampling locations, and, when appropriate, lab analysis for a more thorough picture.
Do I always need lab testing?
Not always. For some homes, expanded in-home testing is enough to make smart decisions. For others—especially with unusual symptoms or specific concerns—we may recommend lab-based testing for more detail.
Will you tell me if I need additional, specialized testing?
Yes. If we see signs that suggest specific contaminants or issues beyond the scope of standard testing, we’ll explain why more targeted lab testing is a good idea and help you plan that step.
Can you help me choose treatment based on the results?
Absolutely. One of the main benefits of doing complete testing with a plumbing company is that we can tie results directly to treatment options, from equipment adjustments to new systems if needed.
Is this only for city water, or can you test wells too?
We can help both municipal and many private well users, though wells often benefit from a broader testing scope. We’ll adjust the plan based on where your water comes from.
