What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Free In-Home Basic Water Testing?
Free in-home basic water testing is a quick, at-home evaluation of key water characteristics using field tests and visual inspection, typically including:
Hardness testing: To see how hard or soft your water is and what that means for scale and soap use.
Basic chlorine or disinfectant checks: To help explain taste, odor, and dryness issues.
TDS (total dissolved solids) or other simple checks to understand overall mineral load.
Taste and odor review: We listen to what you notice and compare it with test results.
Visual inspection: Looking at fixtures, shower doors, toilets, and appliances for signs of scale or staining.
From there, we provide treatment recommendations that may include:
Water softeners or conditioners
Whole-house filters
Under-sink filtration or RO systems
Service or repair for existing equipment
Filter replacement plans or maintenance options
Note: This is basic in-home testing, not a certified laboratory analysis. If you need detailed contaminant testing (e.g., lead, PFAS, specific chemicals), we’ll discuss additional testing options.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Local water experience: We work with Las Vegas-area water every day and understand how hardness and chlorine actually show up in local homes.
Licensed plumbers, not just testers: You don’t just get numbers—you get professional plumbing insight and practical solutions.
Treatment-neutral advice: We focus on matching the right treatment to your water and goals, not just pushing one product.
Whole-home perspective: We consider plumbing, fixtures, appliances, and existing equipment, not just one faucet sample.
Free and straightforward: The basic in-home test is free, with transparent pricing only if you choose to move forward with any upgrades or services.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Make a quick list of what’s bothering you most: spots, dry skin, odor, chlorine smell, weird taste, cloudy water, etc.
Note any past plumbing or appliance issues that might be water-related: water heater problems, recurring leaks, fixture replacements, or rapid scale buildup.
Check whether you have existing water treatment equipment (softener, conditioner, RO system, whole-house filter) and if you know how old it is or when it was last serviced.
Decide whether you’re mainly looking for information only, or information plus potential treatment options.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for free in-home basic water testing with treatment recommendations; we’ll schedule a visit and come prepared to test and talk through options.
Common Situations Where Free Basic Testing Makes Sense
You’re noticing spots, scale, or chalky residue on fixtures and glass.
Your water has a strong chlorine smell or “pool” taste.
Dishes and glassware come out of the dishwasher filmy or cloudy.
You or family members feel dry skin or hair that may be worsened by water quality.
You’re using a lot of soap, shampoo, or detergent and still don’t feel things get “clean.”
You’re thinking about investing in a softener, conditioner, or filtration, but don’t know where to start.
You already have water treatment equipment and want to know whether it’s still doing its job.
Conversation & Concern Review
We start by asking what you’ve seen, smelled, or tasted in your water and what you’d like to improve—spots, scale, odor, taste, or equipment issues.
On-Site Basic Testing
We perform simple, in-home tests at one or more fixtures, such as:
Hardness testing (grains per gallon / ppm)
Basic chlorine checks
TDS or other quick field readings where appropriate
Visual Inspection of Fixtures & Equipment
We look at faucets, showerheads, shower glass, sinks, and toilets for scale or staining. If you have softeners, conditioners, or filters, we’ll take a quick look at those as well.
Results & Explanation in Plain Language
We explain what we found in clear, simple terms, connecting test results to what you’re experiencing:
Why you’re seeing spots
Why water might taste or smell a certain way
How it might be affecting fixtures, water heaters, and appliances
Treatment Recommendations (If You Want Them)
We explain what we found in clear, simple terms, connecting test results to what you’re experiencing:
Why you’re seeing spots
Why water might taste or smell a certain way
How it might be affecting fixtures, water heaters, and appliances
Next Steps & Optional Follow-Up
There’s no obligation to move forward. If you decide to proceed with a treatment option, we’ll schedule the work and explain what’s involved and what it costs.
What’s Included
A typical free in-home basic water testing visit may include:
Basic hardness testing at one or more faucets
Simple chlorine or disinfectant checks (where appropriate)
Visual inspection of fixtures and visible plumbing for scale or staining
A quick review of any existing treatment systems (softeners, filters, conditioners)
A plain-language explanation of what the results mean for your home
Treatment recommendations tailored to your water, your concerns, and your budget
(What’s included is focused on basic water characteristics, not full laboratory contaminant testing.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
The basic in-home water test and discussion are free.
If you request additional diagnostics, lab testing, or equipment service, we’ll explain any associated costs up front.
If you choose to move forward with a treatment system, repairs, or maintenance, we’ll provide a clear, itemized estimate so you know:
What equipment or services are included
Installation or service costs
Any ongoing filter or maintenance needs
We’ll also give you a sense of how long testing, discussion, and any follow-up work will take, based on your home and what you’re considering.
Insurance & Claims Help
While basic water testing itself doesn’t involve insurance, water quality can impact:
Fixture and appliance life
Water heaters and valves
Potential water damage from failures over time
If you pursue treatment or related plumbing work with us:
We can provide itemized invoices and basic notes about water conditions we observed.
If a future issue leads to a claim or warranty question, our documentation may help show maintenance and conditions history.
Your insurer or warranty provider always decides coverage; we simply provide clear plumbing and service records.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Free in-home basic water testing is a great first step, but it does have limits:
It is not a certified laboratory test and doesn’t screen for every possible contaminant.
If you have concerns about specific health-related contaminants (like lead, arsenic, nitrates, PFAS, etc.), you’ll likely need more detailed lab testing.
Basic testing won’t repair existing damage to fixtures, appliances, or plumbing—it simply helps explain what’s happening and guides future decisions.
Test results are a snapshot in time; if your water source or treatment setup changes, follow-up testing may be appropriate.
We’ll be clear about what we can and cannot tell you from a basic test—and when more advanced testing is a better idea.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Appropriate field testing tools: We use reliable basic test methods suited for in-home evaluations.
Licensed plumbing professionals: Results are interpreted by licensed Nevada plumbers who understand both water quality and plumbing systems.
Clear, honest communication: We explain what we tested, what we didn’t, and why that matters.
Solution-focused recommendations: When we recommend treatment, it’s based on your actual water, your concerns, and your home setup.
Respect for your time and home: We work efficiently and leave testing areas clean and orderly.

No. Our goal is to test, explain, and recommend. Whether you move forward with treatment or not is completely up to you.
