"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!"

Faucets are an essential part of any bathroom, kitchen, bar, or outdoor space. They provide a convenient way to access water for cleaning, cooking, and other tasks. However, like any other plumbing fixtures, faucets can develop leaks or other issues that require repair or replacement.
When it comes to installing or repairing faucets, there are a few things to keep in mind. One of the most important is to make sure that the faucet you choose is compatible with the type of sink or other surface it will be mounted on. For example, some faucets are designed specifically for use with vessel sinks, while others are intended for use with undermount sinks.
Bathroom Faucets
Bathroom faucets come in a variety of styles and designs, from sleek and modern to more traditional and ornate. When installing or repairing bathroom faucets, it’s important to ensure that they are compatible with the type of sink or vanity they will be mounted on. This may involve measuring the sink’s hole size or the distance between the mounting holes. Common issues with bathroom faucets include leaks, difficulty turning on or off, and mineral buildup.
Kitchen Faucets
Kitchen faucets are often used multiple times a day, so it’s important to choose a durable and reliable model. When installing or repairing kitchen faucets, it’s important to ensure that they are compatible with the sink and the plumbing. Common issues with kitchen faucets include leaks, difficulty turning on or off, and mineral buildup. Some kitchen faucets also come with additional features such as pull-out sprays or touchless operation.
Bar Faucets
Bar faucets are smaller and less complex than kitchen faucets, but they still play an important role in the functionality of a bar or kitchen. They are usually smaller, so installation and repair process is also smaller in comparison to kitchen faucets. Common issues with bar faucets include leaks, difficulty turning on or off, and mineral buildup.
Outside Spigot
An outside spigot or hose bib is a faucet that is located on the exterior of a house or building. These faucets are often used to water gardens, wash cars, or fill pools. When installing or repairing an outside spigot, it’s important to ensure that it is properly insulated to prevent freezing in cold weather. Common issues with outside spigots include leaks, difficulty turning on or off, and mineral buildup.
Pot Filler
A pot filler is a specialized faucet that is mounted above the stove, and is used for filling large pots with water. These faucets are often used in commercial kitchens and high-end home kitchens. When installing or repairing a pot filler, it’s important to ensure that it is properly connected to the water supply and that the spout is positioned at the right height. Common issues with pot fillers include leaks, difficulty turning on or off, and mineral buildup.
