What’s Coming Through Your Tap?
If you've noticed white residue building up around your faucets, spots on dishes that never come out even after a dishwasher cycle, or water that tastes different than what you remember, you've probably started wondering what's behind it. Instead of sorting through general information that may or may not apply to your home, Sweetwater Home Services can test the water coming in and tell you exactly what's in it.
We've worked with homeowners across Central and South Texas since 1987, and hard water comes up again and again as one of the most common concerns in this part of the state. Our free in-home water test gives you a direct answer, with no pressure to act once we're finished. Once you know what's running through your pipes, you're better positioned to protect your home, your appliances, and your family.
The Readings That Matter Most
During your appointment, one of our technicians will pull a sample from your home and run a few key measurements on the spot. A typical test covers the following:
Water Hardness: Calcium and magnesium levels show up here, tied to scale, mineral deposits, and the buildup you see around fixtures.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): We use this reading to see what's mixed into your water at a level you'd never notice just by looking at a glass.
Other Relevant Readings: Depending on your water source and what you've noticed at home, we'll check a few additional indicators too.
Once we're done, we'll sit down with you and explain what the numbers mean without the technical language. You'll leave the appointment knowing what we found and how it lines up with the problems you've been dealing with.
From Municipal Water to Private Wells
Water conditions can shift considerably from one Central Texas neighborhood to the next, largely because of where your water comes from.
Municipal water goes through treatment before it reaches your home, but that process doesn't strip out every mineral tied to hardness. Homeowners on public systems still deal with spotting, scale, and taste changes fairly often. Private wells work differently. What comes out of a well depends heavily on the geology beneath that specific property, which means two homes a few miles apart can show results that don't resemble each other at all.
We offer free testing for both. That includes tap water for homeowners in places like Cedar Park, along with well water for properties farther from our major metros.
A Simple In-Home Testing Process
Getting clarity about your water won't mean mailing off a sample and waiting weeks to hear back. There's also no cost and no requirement to move forward with a treatment system once we're done. Here’s what the process will look like from start to finish:
Scheduling Around Your Availability
You'll choose an appointment window that fits your household's schedule, whether it's a weekday morning before work or a weekend afternoon when everyone's home. Once it's set, we'll confirm the details so you know when to expect us.
Water Testing at the Source
On the day of your appointment, one of our water experts will arrive, collect a sample from your tap, and run the applicable tests on the spot. We'll work from whatever your water source turns out to be, and you won't need to prep anything beforehand.
Results You Can Understand
Once the tests wrap up, we'll go through each number with you in terms that make sense. You can ask about anything you've noticed, from scale on your fixtures to changes in taste, and we'll connect those details to what the readings showed.
Information First, Treatment Second
Getting your results back doesn't mean you're expected to buy anything. The test exists to give you information first, and everything else follows from there.
If your readings point to something a treatment system could address, we'll go over the options and how each one applies to your household. Depending on what we find, that might mean a whole-home softener, a drinking water system, whole-home chemical filtration, or equipment built for private wells. You can browse our full lineup on our water treatment systems page whenever you're ready. We'll never recommend anything before we test your water first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The visit is free, and you're not required to purchase anything afterward. We’ll test your water, explain what we found, and only bring up next steps if your results call for it.
It depends on your water source and how many questions come up along the way. We set aside enough time to explain the results properly, without rushing.
We'll walk you through the treatment options that fit your situation, from a softener to a drinking water system to something designed for a private well.
It's possible. Scale buildup inside pipes and appliances forces your water heater and other equipment to use more energy just to keep up, which can show up as higher utility costs.

Customer Reviews
Our unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction is evident in the feedback we receive daily. See some of the reviews below.
Professional service. On time. Great communication from office staff and Technician alike. They told me the amount due at the time of making the appointment, and then mount stayed the same all the way through the service. He even changed out some parts that were wearing thin At no extra charge.
I would have to say this was one of the best presentations I've had in awhile. I learned a lot about the water inside my home and about how that water is affecting my fixtures and family. I am so glad that we decided to go with RainSoft for our family. And a great big thank you to Frank for educating us and taking the time to answer all our questions!
The water quality test was conducted in a professional manner and Gina explained everything in simple terms. Thank you Gina!
