Reno sits at about 4,500 ft in the Truckee Meadows, on the Truckee River below the Sierra crest, and the areas we route requests to ring that one basin: Sparks east across the river, Sun Valley and Spanish Springs to the north, then Fernley, Dayton and Carson City out through the Lahontan Valley and the Carson River corridor. That geography decides most of what matters on a coating job - what the slab was poured on, how dry the ground under it stays, how hard the winter chemicals hit it, and which office signs the permit. So every request is routed by address, not by 'Reno'.

Water here is one authority but not one water. Truckee Meadows Water Authority is community-owned and supplies 475,000+ residents of Reno, Sparks and Washoe County from the Truckee River system (https://tmwa.com/), and it publishes quality by neighbourhood rather than by city: Central and Southeast Reno measured 62 mg/L (3.6 gpg) hardness in Q1 2026 while Southwest Reno measured 238 mg/L (13 gpg) - so we ask for the street, not the metro. Underneath, four USDA-NRCS series carry the slab story: the Reno series on alluvial fans with a duripan at 50-100 cm and low saturated hydraulic conductivity; the Washoe series on terraces with 35-50% rock fragments; the Truckee series on poorly drained flood-plain ground with a seasonal water table at 50-100 cm; and the Flex series, very shallow to weathered volcanic bedrock, on the hills of northwest Reno. We are an independent matching service, never a contractor - we do not install, inspect or guarantee any floor.
