"It wasn’t until after our tankless water heater was fixed by Dream Home Plumbing that I realized how cold our water had been for 4 (!!) months & how bad the water pressure was!! They did such a fantastic job! Our water temp had dipped back in the winter and I’m embarrassed DHP wasn’t my first call but as a first time home owner we just picked a random plumber. The issue wasn’t corrected and only got worse. One call to DHP, Andrei was over within hours and suggested 3 possible issues AND 3 solid solutions. It was the first time we felt confident we’d have hot water again. Something we found really admirable is that part of finding the solution (& cost savings for in-warranty parts just in the nick of time) was waiting on hold and talking to customer service support for our tankless. It was likely tedious & time consuming but it was necessary & a step I saw first hand other plumbers might not do for you. We are so grateful! Arguably the best plumbers in the western burbs!"
Read moreCopper & PVC Piping
Copper and PVC piping are two commonly used materials for plumbing systems. Copper piping is durable, long-lasting and resistant to corrosion, making it a good choice for water supply lines. PVC piping is lightweight, flexible and easy to install, making it a cost-effective option for drain and vent lines. Both materials have their own set of advantages and can be used in different types of plumbing systems. It’s important to choose the right material and install it properly to ensure a functional and long-lasting plumbing system.
Galvanized to Copper Repipe
Galvanized to Copper Repipe is a process of replacing old, corroded galvanized pipes with new copper pipes. Galvanized pipes are prone to corrosion and rust, which can lead to leaks and reduced water flow. Copper pipes, on the other hand, are more durable, resistant to corrosion and have a longer lifespan. Replacing galvanized pipes with copper pipes can improve the overall performance of the plumbing system and increase the flow of water.
Cast-iron to PVC Repipe
Cast-iron to PVC Repipe is a process of replacing old, brittle cast-iron pipes with new PVC pipes. Cast-iron pipes are prone to rust and corrosion, which can lead to leaks and reduced water flow. PVC pipes, on the other hand, are lightweight, flexible, and easy to install, making them a cost-effective option. Replacing cast-iron pipes with PVC pipes can improve the overall performance of the plumbing system and increase the flow of water.
Water Meter Upgrades
Water meter upgrades involve replacing old, outdated water meters with new, more accurate ones. Copper pipes are commonly used for water supply lines in water meter upgrades. Copper pipes are durable, long-lasting and resistant to corrosion, which makes them a good choice for this application. PVC pipes can also be used for this purpose, but copper pipes are more recommended for water supply lines, as PVC pipes can be damaged with contact with chlorine or other chemicals present in the water.
