"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 to PVC Piping Replacement Services
At Dream Home Plumbing Co, we specialize in replacing copper with PVC and replacing copper plumbing with PVC solutions that are safe, cost-effective, and built to last. If your home’s copper piping is aging, corroded, or failing, we can expertly convert it to modern PVC plumbing.
Why Replace Copper Pipe with PVC?
Switching from copper to PVC offers several advantages:
Cost Savings — PVC material and installation costs are typically lower than copper.
Corrosion Resistance — PVC doesn’t corrode or scale like copper over time.
Easier Installation & Repairs — PVC is lighter, easier to cut, and easier to join.
Longevity — Properly installed PVC piping can last many decades with minimal maintenance.
Compatibility — PVC works well with many modern plumbing fittings and systems.
If your copper plumbing is showing signs of leaks, pinhole corrosion, or high maintenance, switching to PVC may be a smart long-term investment.

FAQs – Replacing Copper Plumbing with PVC
Q: Can I just patch a copper leak instead of converting to PVC?
A: In some cases, patching works. But if corrosion, age, or multiple leaks exist, a full conversion to PVC may be more durable and cost-effective in the long run.
Q: What happens at transitions between copper and PVC?
A: We use approved transition fittings (connectors, dielectric unions) to safely join copper and PVC where needed without galvanic corrosion or leaks.
Q: Will replacing copper with PVC affect water quality?
A: No — when installed correctly, PVC meets plumbing standards for potable water and maintains water quality.
Q: How long does the replacement take?
A: Smaller sections may take a few hours; full-home conversions may span one or more days depending on complexity.
